Sure - usually sunlight is best for photos, but maybe not in this case. Here’s an indoor shot.

WOW, it looks like a fricken Galaxy!
Nice work, looks great. Have you done dips before?

Haha, nope, this was my first one, my practice one. I thought it came out great, so I decided to build it up!!
Looks killer! I love the color selection.
What paints did you dip with? What method? (i.e. warm water + Borax?)

For a first timer, I felt the safest bet was the Marabu Marble paint, which is specifically formulated for hydro-dipping, and floats on top of plain water. I do want to experiment with some other paints too, which might require Borax.
I did a TON of research on it several years ago as I could not find a decent, coherent guide at the time.
I settled on Humbrol paints, but it was not perfect. Some of the paints, metallic and lighter colors, dropped like stones in the water mostly where the darker colors worked great.
I ended up doing one headless bass kit in Testors gloss black and silver enamels but was literally pouring it over the body and blowing it around with a straw which worked out pretty well (but took 2-3 months to cure!)... Also stupid expensive comparatively... I think I spent $25-30 for all the paints I used...
Here's my one (and only so far) headless, I love the pickups on this thing! Definitely different from my typical, but very fun nonetheless.
I haven't come across another Axstar with a Modulus neck, does anyone have any info on Ibanez/Modulus?

BTW, anyone north of 50 should really consider one of these wonders. By the time you reach the 3rd set every ounce your back DOESNT have to carry matters!!!
For sure, my headless basses and guitars outnumber the others at this point.
Does anybody recognize this bass?
The photo is actually a snapshot of some TV show.

Looks like some kind of Status to me....
My guess is Status S2000. S3000 if it's a bolt on, I can't tell from the pic.
I tried everything I think could do to remove my steinberger synapse tuner machine so I can put on the bearings.
But can’t get it off
any ideas?
