So you're saying he should paint the logo orange as well?
Far be it for me to make suggestions.....

"Explosive Ibanez" Takes Flight

It sounds like it has DR Hi-Beams on it. Very bright with lots of zip. Not a very warm bass. The only drawback I've found is that I'd like a little more low end in the onboard preamp. However, I haven't messed with the preamp dip switches. The high end of the preamp is very bright. I can easily mimic a Korn/Fieldy tone. The bridge pickup gives the player the ability to solo the bridge while not losing a lot of low end. This is the slimmest neck I have in my collection so it would be a blessing to those with small fingers. The frets were leveled and dressed when I had it setup. It definitely made playing easier. The ergonomics and weight of this bass make it a breeze for longer gigs/practices. The tuners are the best. They're light and are so precise.
I will leave the logo white, because I know I'd screw it up.
Very nice, just needs an ebony board and orange binding to complete it.
Maybe another addition for another day.

Nicely done sir, looks amazing! I'll be referring to this thread for my Ibby GSR100 rebuild/mod when I get that far. Congrats!
+1. Block'd and bound in the color of danger. Or make the inlays based on a stick of dynamite icon.
This is a killer re-do. Love your work, bg.
I really want to play this bass.
The last thing I have left is to paint the white lip of the trus rod cover, orange.
Too bad you live completely on the other side of the country. Otherwise, I'd love for you to take her for a spin.
No problem. I don't forsee doing any gigs that far up north, but I will let you know.
Awesome job it turned out great. Wish I still lived in the area so I could watch you rockin' it in person.
I think it's cool that you'd even consider that
Why wouldn't I? As long as it isn't used as a baseball bat, there would be no problems. The more people that play it, the more input I get for future POS bass refurbs.
I figure a lot of people would be like "NO, HANDS OFF!" especially when you've practically built the thing with your own two hands.
Love wasting time on your refurb threads, looking forward to more. Until I came to TB I didn't realize there were people that actually did this stuff, it's inspiring.
