Mike Dirnt Darkstar project

[IotaNet]

... a black guard with white edges would look pretty badass.
... Overall a cool-looking bass!

+1 on both counts

 

[Earwigger]

Post sound clips! I love what I've heard of Darkstars so far.

 

[MaskedJackal]

Well done!


Sound clips, maybe?

 

[Mobay45]

Very nice Paul.

Looks like pathdoc did an excellent job on the p/u install.

BTW - I have 3 Bongos.

 

[Eyjo]

Looks much better with the black pickguard. By far the coolest looking Mike Drint I've ever seen.

 

[darkside 88]

Nice. I think maybe you should've just gotten the body from somewhere and started from scratch, though.

 

[Pennydreadful]

Ask and ye shall receive:

Badass indeed.

 

[Smallequestrian]

Nice. I think maybe you should've just gotten the body from somewhere and started from scratch, though.

Well, since it was exactly the body type and colour I wanted and the tele headstock shape I like, this was easily the path of least resistance.

I guess I could have always spent a couple hundred more to get a neck and body from Warmoth to achieve exactly the same look but that would have been a huge waste of time and money.

Beautiful!!

Another +1 for the white pickguard, but either way a very nice looking bass.

[Juniorkimbrough]

Sorry to say, but I think this is one bass that's much better off with a white guard.

Agreed!

I never like white pickguards, but that one looks sooooooooo much better with the white one.

 

[Tom Howland]

Great.
I like it without the pickguard.

 

[Rick Brienzo]

A tortise pickguard would take this bass over the top!

Well played cheeze, well played.


BTW, I'm all for the white pg, I'm a big fan of contrast when it comes to black bodies. And can you post sound clips? I've never actually (consciously) heard a darkstar. Or can someone point me in a direction to hear one?

 

[cheezewiz]

Oh yes, and on topic, I like the white guard.
