Surf Green refinish

I purchased a Squier Vintage Modified 70's Style Jazz 5 in December of 2012. Nice bass, especially for the price, right out of the box. However, I did replace all the electronics shortly after I bought it and this year I finally had it refinished including the headstock. I had a Squier decal made up as close to the original as possible.
I went with Surf Green. One of my all time favorite colors. Here's the before and after pics.

 

Thanks, but no I didn't do the job myself.
Bad picture taken with my phone, but they did a fantastic job.
I've used it at a few gigs and have received several compliments on it.

 

Clown Barf ??????
First I heard of that one. Sure is unusual........



A bit too much for me though. I'll have to pass.

 

Thanks for all the compliments.

I paid $425 which included refinishing the body, headstock and shipping both ways. I stripped all electronics and hardware off the bass and re-installed it all myself except for the neck plate. That was left intact for shipping purposes.
Money wise it doesn't make sense, but this bass was purchased to use as a backup and I also wanted to be able to mod it anyway I wanted without worrying about hurting the resale value.
Adding the original price ($305) with the electronics being upgraded ($150) and the refinish, I have about $880 in the bass. See.......I told you it doesn't make any sense.......
The upside.........I have a bass customized the way I want in one of my favorite colors that plays and sounds great.

Seafoam Green is a great color, but it's Surf Green. My phone doesn't take the greatest pictures and I have a hard time taking one that shows the color accurately........and I'm not the greatest photographer either.
