@bolophonic now what about the other neck? I believe I sold you two

 

[rtav]

Beautiful bass - well done!!

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

Also: so complete was my commitment to flying in the face of perfection that I only painted the front and sides of the bass and left the back blue.

Translation:
I ran out of paint and didn't want to put on my shoes and go to Home Depot.

This is like scraping all the crap off the counter and putting it on a bagel. I love it!

^^ Gross but accurate.

Looooove the pink trash bass.

 

[klejst]

Nice, hardly a piece of trash but I get what you meant there

 

[mikeyjm2]

[JRA]

Maybe I need to use it to make an exact replica of this bass, now that people are responding so well to it??

Yes and no... while it is true that I barely had the time and energy to do any of this bass, I also saw an opportunity to save paint by paying tribute to my first guitar, which was blue on the front, but spray painted pink on the back!

That is literally how I ate half of my meals when my kids were babies. #humantrashcan

Funny! I put together a junk drawer/rattlecan tele yesterday. Unknown body, Squier neck, Tex mex pickups, CTS pots, orange cap, treble bleed, tort guard, Squier hardware. Waiting on the control plate to be delivered. It sounds and plays great.

Love this! But a junk-drawer axe ain't a junk-drawer axe if you had to order anything special for it. Surely you can make a control plate out of something you have around the house... an old beat-up license plate would be awesome!

Sig model! Sig model!

Ha! True. But, this isn’t mine. I just put it together, wired it, and set it up.

The first iteration of my signature model had a pick guard cut out of rusted barn roofing tin coated in shellac. It kind of looked like tort-leather.
