Batgirl Bass

[joe vegas]

That is a definite Keeper. really geat work!!

(... additionally, the pen is claiming yet integrating vital top-left space, and the nectarines add a Vermeer-esque poignancy. nicely done.)

As a BB415 player, I love it !!!

 

[shorty4life]

Bleeping sweet!

 

[kwaping]

Lay down some thick clear coat over it, maybe?

 

[Tom Bomb]

Very cool! Nice job. Now it's a YUMMYHA BG415

PS: As you seem to be not completely happy with your handiwork - although, mind you, it looks good enough to most of us - you can always do it again If you do, you should consider cutting the cape away, conforming instead to Batgirl's bodacious booty. Just a style thing, I don't know. Perhaps it's best if you just ignore me completely.

 

[mikeyjm2]

Love it!

I wonder if these could be cleared over and what would be safe to use without melting the sticker.

 

[hippietim]

That is outstanding!

As you might guess by my avatar, I like it very much!

Weren't you suppose to be jealous or something like that, I mean that's your girl on some comics.

Good question, and I have no idea. You might try Mark at the website, see if they've had experience with that.

 

[gjbassist]

Very cool. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have your wife dress up as Batgirl, take a photo of her and have it made in to the overlay!

 

[LoTone]

Well done. Love the BBs.

I've wondered about the Skinyourskunk stickers. Thanks for posting.

Are the edges staying down? Tell us more about the process, if you don't mind. I'm very interested in these but have been waiting to see them on someone else's instrument before shelling out the cash for my own.

Do you have any pics that show the sticker either closeup or at an angle so the edges show?

Here are some details, showing my sloppy cutting at the edges -

Like I said, I'm mostly interested in the look from 15 feet away, so these don't bother me much. I may get a fresh XActo blade and try to clean them up some.

That is Dead Nuts.

 

[kwaping]

I don't mind the rough edges, it might even add to the appeal.

One of the FEW changes I was happy about with DC's "New 52" reorganization was getting Barbara Gordon out of the wheelchair and back in costume (The Joker never shot and paralyzed her from "The Killing Joke").

Even with the slight mess, straight on... it looks great!

You should work with Knifeless striping tape. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and doesn't put a blade into your finish. And you've still got enough edge to be able to use it and have a cleaner appearance.
I do custom vinyl wraps on goalie helmets, and decided to give a whirl to one of my basses, a Yamaha RBX300. It was initially rattle-canned Ivy Leaf Gold, and I added the metal flake silver vinyl. I decided to run a pinstripe to give it a nod to a traditional binding on a bass, but with a twist. Here's the initial wrap before I did the stripe.

With the faux binding … (fixed that little ripple on the upper horn, too).

And this is what happens when the faux binding is lit … yes, it's reflective black vinyl.

Hope that helps.

That looks great! Where do you get that glitter-y vinyl?

 

[rolandm]

Pretty much any vinyl shop if you want to buy locally. I don't have one locally, so I ordered it from an online retailer that specializes in vinyl vehicle restyling. It takes some trial and error, BTW. It's not something you lay on and voila, it comes out perfectly around the curves. LOL. But if you're patient, careful and willing to chance failure, it's rather rewarding to do.

This is win. I'd make sure to coat it so it doesn't peel with wear.
