Stangely Covered Basses? or guitars.

[isthimus]

mate of mine took all the electronics/strings etc off his bass and set it on fire once. then he put everything back on and gigged with it a week later. yes that would make it sound like a POS but hey

 

[Nightsblood]

Heres an idea...flat Legos! I wonder.....

 

[troy mcclure]

I am still trying to figure out what Stangley is?

You know, Paul Stangley, the guy from Kiss!

Fender custom shop has the cowpoke/western type stuff where it is covered in leather and/or cow hide/fur amongst other things.

Astro-turf.

That is hilarious

I just got a job for refinishing a guitar in glow in the dark camouflage....that sounds interesting....

What about red velvet, like on velvet ropes?

 

[darkstorm]

Just a thought, but how about glow in the dark paint?

That could be nice. Best one of those Ive seen was a custom Jackson using HR Giger graphic in glow in dark airbrush paint.

^ That is awesome. The lighting, anyway.

OP - what if you bought a bass body like this:

And then drilled and installed some sort of lighting (LED or otherwise) on the back of it?

I'm partial to neon lighting (as shown installed in my custom NEO RockBass fish-shaped bass), but it's not something you can easily retrofit - it needs to be incorporated into the basic design & construction.

Pure awesome!

You could go to a Window Tint shop and get a custom vinyl graphic like they wrap cargo vans in...

That's sharp. Very nice.

 

[morewattsplease]

I say you clearcoat a bunch of money all around it. 100s would be dope (maybe fake 100s haha) but 1's would be hobo dope.
JFK half dollars?

Oh I LIKE that. Seriously cool.

THIS!! The Red Velvet Lounge Bass~~!!

"We'll be right back, so don't you go changin'"

Second thought. Velvet doesn't hold up too well to abrasion. It'll look like a worn out old couch in no time, cigarette burns and all.

Not good... unless you want the seedy lounge version.
