Question on an SX bass

[Glenn D.]

Thanks Glenn, probably seems like all I care about is the looks of the bass, not usually true, but in the case of this bass it is

Me, too. It will be my only p-bass, but I'm more of a jazz bass guy. If it wasn't in white, I wouldn't have bought it.

Alright, when ya get it monday, let me know if its beige-ish white, or white white very curious!

 

[Pthump]

NO!! i actually went to order the bass from rondomusic.com and the option for vintage white has vanished! AHHHH what gives?

 

[Glenn D.]

Bad news. That means they're gone. I'd email right away to check on the status.

[Pthump]

ok, so if they're "gone" does that mean no more ever or jsut currently out of stock?

Invasion of the Body Snatchers. . .weird flick.

Yeah, but the original is great!

Pardon for the OT. Please continue.

I have an SPJ-62 in vintage white with the black pickguard, and I love the way it looks.

Nevermind the player... I'm pretty damn ugly.. The vintage-ness of the white is fairly accurate in this picture.


Sidenote - the bridge required boring out just by moving up to 110-55 Power Slinky roundwounds....

 

[Pthump]

NICE! where did you ge the black guard?

 

[DannyB]

When I ordered mine, that's they way they came. At the time I found Rondo, the choices were black, sunburst, and vintage white, all with black pickguards. I've also seen them before in navy blue with black pickguards.

Although when I ordered mine I think that Kurt might have had to pull a floor model, because by the time I got around to actually placing the order, black on black was the only choice. I called up there and asked if there was any way to get vintage white, and he said he'd check... a couple days later she came.

Only mod I've done was enlarging the bridge opening for my .110 E string

Nevermind the player...

... but your hockey jersey sucks! Swedish national team...

 

[DannyB]

Ahh, but see, I'm not a Swede. I just have the jersey because of one of my favourite players, Nicklas Lidstrom.

 

[Pthump]

looks like im going to be spray painting the white pick guard, i'll let ya guys know how it turns out.. i plan to..

1. Prime it
2. thin coat of black spray paint
3. another thin coat
4. some kind of sealer on top

Should take a few days

 

[DannyB]

hey thump, would you be able to snap a photo before you alter the pickguard? i was thinking i might like the white better and if it looks good i might just change mine.. but i'm curious to see before i do that.

 

[Pthump]

for sure

 

[angelopb]

yeah man offwhite/cream/parchment color looks good. though. it does kind of make him look biggish.

I don't think you can paint a pickguard. just get a replace or maybe somebody will trade ya if you post.

 

[DannyB]

Anything will make me look biggish.....

Large Woman: Do these shoes make me look fat???
Al Bundy: The shoes don't make you look fat. It's the fat that makes you look fat!

Ahh, but see, I'm not a Swede. I just have the jersey because of one of my favourite players, Nicklas Lidstrom.

Lidström, you say... well, I guess I can live with that. But if you had said Sundin, I´d have been forced to put you on my "ignore"-list !

Why can't I paint a pickguard?
