I had a good friend refinish my Fender Sting Bass. As you can see the Sting was once a Sunburst.

These Basses all have the wire route under the pickguard. I had him make a plug for the hole.

Thought I'd post it up.

This was the way it used to look (Bass on the right).

Nice- I'd paint a Pour l'Merite(sp?)on it somewhere.

That's cool, certainly something that I haven't seen before.

Also, as a side not, good job on replacing the black pickguard with white on your other SCPB, really takes the edge off the yellow and blends better.

This thread gets my approval.

Thanx.

I wanted that stripped down look my old original 53 had. It had been stripped down with no guard but I had to go solid becuase of the rout hole/plug.

Yes I can not stand those Black Guards on any of them.

That is awesome.

The guy that did it for me says it looks too plain, that it needs a big old sticker on it or something. I like it just like it is.

much more interesting in red good job.

Nice. I'd like it even more with a black guard. I once saw an original '54 P bass in that color. Very cool.

As a side not the thing loves Slap n Pop without the guard. You would not think the thickness of the guard would change the Bass this much but it does.

It's like an entirely different instrument.
