Earning It's Stripes........

[M.R. Ogle]

I love seeing art like this. KILLER!!!!

 

[Pachap]

Looks like a classic Chevy hot rod.

 

[Resonance129]

Sheesh, that's gorgeous. I don't usually like the aesthetics of the 50's P's, but that paint/stripe job made me look at it completely differently. Really well done.

 

[jhb138]

Just....wow. I didn't think it was possible for me to love your slabs *more*.

 

[basted]

Beautiful, and very original

Is she a neck diver?

No, not with Gotoh res-o-lites tuners.

No, not with Gotoh res-o-lites tuners.

I thought I saw a strap button extender, so I guessed it was top heavy.

Great looking bass.

 

[Lammchop93]

Wow that's perfect. Sometimes pinstripe from can be cheesy looking, but that is absolutely perfectly beautiful. Good to know about that guy, close to me as well

Thanks. I have those on 3 basses. Just a little extra help for balance. An easy and reversible mod.

 

[two fingers]

Daaaaaaaaaaang. That turned out great.

 

[packhowitzer]

pssshh I've seen stripy-er.

kidding... it's awesome.

 

[Timmy-Watts]

That is gorgeous! Right here in town too! I think I may have something for him to work on as well...

Funnily enough, it was the pickguard that my eye first went to. The striping and the guard work perfectly well together. Overall, not extravagant; just enough to look classy. Superb.

 

[garp]

Sweet! Well done.

My sentiments exactly. The stock Cabronita has a certain utilitarian look to it, and these lines add a certain elegance to the instrument without screaming: "Hey! Look at ME!"

 

[basspraiser]

My custom Cabronita needed some final touches to really finish it off and @BassHappy has been an inspiration [to many on TB].

Thought I would hire a pinstripe artist from a local chop shop. Low & behold I stumbled upon a pinstripe legend in my own backyard [well, across the River].

Jim "Dauber" Farr lives on Cincy's West Side and was the first pinstripe artist inducted into the US Drag Racing Hall of Fame. Stopped by his studio and gave minimal instruction, really wanting him to do what he does best.

Love the results. The legend himself.

That's really really nice! Would be a cool option if manufacturers would start offering that

 

[Stewie]

Absolutely stunning, Yowser!

 

[JGbassman]

Beautiful! And this won't go barreling into a guard rail at 100 mph and ruin the artwork!

The classiest pinstripe job I've ever seen. I've been to a lot of bike shows and have seen a lot. There is little doubt why the man is a hall of famer.

 

[2saddleslab]

Thanks for the kind words, everybody!

Got an outdoor festival to play this afternoon and looking forward to taking this hot rod for a spin.

Nice!
