Cool, should light up a stage

Im interested to see the Solarez over the glitter. I'd assume you'll need a thick top coat of clear and a bunch of leveling cause the glitter tends to have a heavier texture.

Last time I used this, it was not too bad.
Wetter coats on top of initial dry coats, and set it so gravity can do the deed on the particles while drying.
the paint:

I will use less of the glitter product, as it will be over a bright gold base.
**Also the Solarez self levels so well, very little level sanding is expected. One coat of sanding sealer, scuff, Quick partial cure on a clear coat, and lay down another on top.
I expect 2 coats will provide enough buildup.
Solarez is almost entirely solids .

The Pickguard:

the Knobs

I need to get back into the builds, I've been pre-occupied with my shop build.
(permits, gravel pad, trenching for electrical by pick axe, tooling up, ETC)
This and the X-705 will be the test of my redneck spray booth.

That’s going to look nice! Subbed!

Are you going to use “I can’t believe it’s not.”..I forget the rest, Solarez?

 

[/\/\3phist0]

Yes :
Solarez - I Can't Believe it's not Lacquer on the neck (color matched headstock) and over the Glitter.

Beautiful!

Black headstock? Could make the gold tuners pop, and look cool with the blocks and pickguard...

 

[T_Bone_TL]

If you cut the pickguard yourself, headstock overlay of that pickguard material could be nice, too. Black and a bit more flower power..

I agree, but, the color match is by request .

Owner bought pickguard.
I agree but again customer was adamant.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Definitely not a sunburst / tort P bass.

 

[deff]

I've used that Krylon before.

 

[johnson79]

I used some krylon glitter on a build I have going now. Works pretty well.

Nothing will ever be more glitter than your L2500

the Knobs

Where are finding these fantastic sparkly knobs lately?

To me knobs are the finishing touch that makes a great bass even better.

 

[Pdaddy1978]

This build ticks all my boxes..gold glitter?..oh, hell yeah!
Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hands down, the coolest part about this build -- cream pickups.
