    Is it weird that I’ve really been wanting a camouflaged bass lately ?

    Something like the body in the photo below ?

    I think I may be going insane.

    Wanting a camo bass... not that crazy :)

    Wanting something that looks like that picture... :rollno:


    :smug:

    As a kid I used to drool over the George lynch guitars in magazines and catalogs. They've had a bunch of camo options over the years. I dig the winter camo look below:

    I'm not even American and I think you should do a red, white and blue one. Perfect! :D

    I love the look, if it is done right. Much like a relic job it varies from case to case. I love the look on this ESP.

    I see you're from TX. I'm more surprised you don't already have a camo bass. Do you at least have one that is flag oriented? :p

    I think that we are already invisible enough.

    i do not think you're insane for wanting one, OP! ;)

    OTOH: i'd have some concern if you actually thought that it would hide you from anything....unless, you know....you had a good reason to hide.... :laugh:

    FWIW: here's a pic of me, in my heyday --- all black tux, black bass, dark stage....

    If you buy it maybe you can get an endorsement deal from Duck Dynasty.

    Just remember that if you’re going to put in active electronics, you need to go with a digital Camo pattern.

    If you build a camo bass, you have to build a rack so it can hang in the back window of your truck!

    Absolutely a great idea. Especially for a home build. Look up hydro dipping guitar bodies. Similar process for doing gun stocks.
