Was piddling with designs a bit more as I did my high resolution final versions... I think I have it down to 3 versions. 2 of which are a high tech twist on the previous ones. Carbon Fibre.

Final 1 - Colormatch Photo-woodgrain

Final thoughts on these 3?


I appreciate all the help. I think when this is done it will definitely be something that will screw with gear snobs minds when I play live here in Nashville until they sort out what it really is.

2, colourmatched carbon rawks!

I really dig #4, it's definitely unique.

+1. Us Canadians have good (or bad) taste!

I'd say Final #1 and #3 are the most elegant. If it was my call I'd maybe try to combine the decals so that the "O" in OLP would circle the headstock on the little guy's bass, to save some space and get a more linked and compact flow.

I like #1

 

[dan.ablett]

+1 on 2 or 5. They all look cool, though.

That's one nice-looking bass!

+1

 

[waseok]

# 4
very very cool!

 

[Happynoj]

I like #1 personally. Although number 4 is pretty cool as well. You should refinish the whole bass like that!

 

[nrssab]

I liked num 4 a lot!!! But i see u prefer it ordinary I would go for the Final 2 - Color match carbonfiber

Final 1.

I like #7 or Final #3. I think a dark headstock would look pretty good on that bass.

 

[stflbn]

Well, after getting the neck off, and the initial rebadging sanded off I started deciding which design to use.

In normal fashion I ended up using something a bit more stylish and artistic. When putting the others on the bass itself I just felt like the bass had a classier feel then what I was putting on it, so I decided to go with this design that from a distance would only be recognizable as 'something unique's there', but up close would be a payoff if someone had interest enough to check it out. Should be a conversation starter if nothing else.
Clearcoats of Stewmac Nitro will start going on tonight. Undecided yet if it will be a matte finish, or glossy. Just depends which allows the detail to show best.

What's redesigned here.
They are just painted differently...or am I missing something???

 

[stflbn]

Yes, essentially painted differently. Original's only have a big ass ugly cheap looking O L P on the headstock.

originally looked like this here:
