Show Off Your Custom Bass!

[kevinsaw]

I Finally got Pics for my Custom painted bass...
I am in a band called Pikkel Pharm Chronicles - http://myspace.com/pikkelpharmchronicles
and i bought a purple yamaha bass from a friend, hand sanded the Whole thing... and got my Talented Artsy Sister to paint it...
then I Clear Glossed it

And i found the coolest knobs at Radio Shack for $2 a peice!

The reason there is a "Secret Ice Cream Cone" on the back is cause my parents own an Ice Cream store called Dairy Queen... so it was an inside joke


Can't wait to see everyone else's

neat. Most people know what dairy queen is btw, kinda a big chain.

ok, thinking about resanding one of my guitars. how did you go about it and then what did you do over the paint? i am artsy too and want to put something cool on it.

[kevinsaw]

i hand sanded the whole thing, but i totally regret it cause it was a MESS

get an small electric sander and sand the main color off... then get extra fine sand paper to smooth it...

Paint your pic

cover with High Gloss...

[schecterplaya]

sweet deal. it was just that easy really? did you use water or oil soluable paint?

[kevinsaw]

the paint is acrylic i think... the sanding was pretty hard cause it was all hand sanded (i really wish i had a sander) but the hardest part was the gloss... it you put too much on at one time it creates little droplets on the back of the bass, so assume u have to gloss for 3-5 days.

Day 1: front but not over the sides
Day 2: sides
Day 3: back

i would allow maybe even 1 day between each step so u don;t get finger prints in the gloss that still hasn't dried yet.

Well here is mine! I am currently working on reshaping the boduy just a little. Adding new hardware and pickups and paint but just thought I would post it up as it sits now Kinda looks cool! (I had to put it back together to playi it it was sitting to long)

Oh and the markerI had my kids do that except my signature which I did
