My friend bought one here's a link to it
Link Removed
Anyways it looks amazing instead of $150 it looks like it's a grand easy but, here's the weird part though I admit he's a weird cat he looks like Charles Manson for God sakes. Somehow after getting the bass and owning it for less than a day he wants me to look for a place to buy a custom pickguard.
Here's the thing it's not really a common material I think he's gonna ruin the whole basses vibe but, he's my friend I can't stomp on his gear so I'm doing it.
First for those who can't see it imagene a fretless jazz with block of (maybe) faux pearloid ontop of lush maple, then a natural finished ash body with a black pickguard....
Okay got that in your mind?
Now imagene the same bass only with a zebra pattern pickguard
!!!!!
If you threw up your not alone I admit i did too just a little.
Anyways I'm telling you this because I either need to find a place that makes this OR a way to convince him to just leave it be.
To give you better insight to my friend he owns 3 P's one a MIJ Fender, a Ibanez lawsuit and a SX with the old headstocks and cigeratte burns all over the headstock and body.
1 Ric that is plastered with stickers of 80's glam bands and one Beatle sticker.
A few SX jazzes he had more but, he traded them for effects and a half cab.
Finally he's got a bedroom full of Nirvana posters and a fetish for duct tape as everytime mysterious holes show up in the walls he duct tapes 'em!
That being said you know more about what I have to deal with.
And I need help.

I hear that guy at Jeanie's is good... maybe your buddy that looks like Manson and the guy at Jeanie that acts like Manson would get along!
