I know you were. The basses will continue to flow. Something has to pay for that bike.

Bud, that bike is screaming for the Flame Job, similar to what you did on the NAMM bass.

Here is my V-Twin (bike on the left)

Hi Mike,

I bet your bike is faster than mine. My bobber is getting a treament similar to this bass, different colors though.

Hey Bud, do you do the pinstriping yourself? They're a total pro-job!

I think it is safe to say that Bud has painted a few HotRods in his day!

No, I paid a pro to stripe that bass. While I used to paint cars for a living and have done a little custom paint work it takes years to learn how to stripe like that. The same guy is going to stripe my bike and another similar bass for me real soon.

Cool, make sure post some pics of that!

BTW the V looks amazing! I say Black hardware!

Oh damn! I never really thought true oldschool hotrod pinstriping would look THAT good on a bass!!!

Bud, I'd wish you'd stop showing that bass...the GAS pain it produces is UNBEARABLE...

my wife thinks it's the best looking bass she's ever seen...I definitely put it in the top 5 (but I've seen about 100 times the basses she has)

Done!

I've got one more in the works that's similar that'll be done in a couple of months and I'm supposed to start a four string version soon too.

The pickup cover came out kind of neat. Not sure if I'm going with chrome or black hardware on this one.

Similar look to an SPS. It was inspired by a Flyrite "Reach For The Sky" model. 'Scept they only install Evo's and Shovelheads. I've got the color on the sheet metal now. Just needs to be striped, put back together, inspected and registered.
