Aw she's cute. How old?

On a nightmarish note, man, how awful is this http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/975121/belgian-coma-man-was-just-awake-for-23-years

Oh dang, the green eyes do it for me. Smash her guts out. Like, seriously.

The only thing better that freckles is a PIRATE!

Cue Metallica's "One"!

****, I actually just read that story. My God... That's just... Awful.

Removed the pickguard from Jane, opinions? Also, what's the best way to get all those shitty smudge stains off it?

Yeah it's like, ****ed up beyond imagining.

As for the bass stains, try tea tree oil, possibly.

New tone knobs too.

I saw it on an episode of (mil)House once. But, yeah. 20 years.

ugly

It doesn't look as horrendous as it does in the photos IRL, one because you can see the metallic paint and two because it doesn't look like it's covered in semen.

I think you should replace it with a pearloid pickguard. I HATE black on rosewood.

Any kind of guitar polish will work for you. Unless it's a nitrocellulose or tung oil finish (and it's not), virtually any polish will be just fine if used in conjunction with a microfiber or a polishing cloth.

Pearloid is overdone IMO. Or do you mean that redish pearloid? I could do that... I've actually been on the prowl for a black pickguard for a while.

I will have to get some tomorrow. I couldn't find anything around here that helped.

Like so.

you should repaint your bass probably

Black and tortoiseshell is a pretty well established combo. Like sheep steak and chups.

[quote=funkyhoney;17662779][IMG]http://www.blueberryhillbass.com/images/127_2760_000.jpg[/IMG]

Like so.[/quote]

The pickups are nice, but I hate that combination too. Red pearloid always reminded me of vomit.

I vote getting all gold hardware and a gold mirror pickguard.

[quote=gaslight;17662785]Black and tortoiseshell is a pretty well established combo. Like sheep steak and chups.[/quote]

Tobacco sunburst & tortoise shell are much more common than black and tortoise shell.

Fine, I'll just leave it off.

Or get a black one like I originally planned.

I had my Stingray hardware all black-plated, recently. All I need now are the black tuners and I'll have a sexy, stealth-y Stingray (with a maple fretboard, of course).

I'm stoked.

I considered black tuners, however I already dished out a bit on the new gotoh bridge so I can't be screwed now.

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;17662800]Tobacco sunburst & tortoise shell are much more common than black and tortoise shell.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that too. 'Round my way the most common combo I've seen for basses with pickguards is black and turtle but that's just a local thing.

I'm actually going to try and paint my pickguard red.

[QUOTE=gaslight;17662822]Yeah, that too. 'Round my way the most common combo I've seen for basses with pickguards is black and turtle but that's just a local thing.[/QUOTE]

That's because black and turtle is nice.

[quote=funkyhoney;17662825]That's because black and turtle is nice.[/quote]

I think it's really because somebody realized long ago that black and rosewood look like sh*t together, but it was cheap, so they put on a disgusting vomit-colored pickguard that was shiny to detract attention from the horrific-looking bass.

That, or somebody just hates bassists. I really can't think of the last time I've seen a black guitar with a tort pickguard.

Incidentally when was the last time you saw a decent looking guitar fullstop? Other than the "classic designs" - tele, strat, les paul, SG etc. They generally are outrageous looking things with grotesque colours.

I quite like the look of PRS guitars and most Ibanez guitars, but you're right, I like the Les Paul style most. Plus, they sound so gooood.

Bright, bold colors are better than shitty blacks and whites.

I have a lovely looking PRS it's white body, turtle pickguard, rosewood fretboard.

My guitarist has a les paul and a tele. All you'll ever need :smoke:

I'm wanting a stingray/sterling or a P special. I think I'll never want another bass for purposes other than collectables then. Although an acoustic would be nice.

Haha, collectable basses. Like baseball cards except they cost a few grand each. Bless 'em.

If I can snap up an acoustic bass and a 5 string fretless I'll be done for basses other than collectables. Then we can high five.

I really find my Stingray to be a one-trick pony. I much prefer a P-bass for slapping or fingerstyle. However, nothing beats a Stingray with steel strings for a pick tone.

Give you my Musician for a Babe Ruth :smash:

I want an acoustic, and one other nice electric, most likely a P/P special to match my jazz.

Yeah Ray's are a bit like that. I really need a bass with a nice fast neck. Jazz with a P neck is a bit... Eh, sometimes haha.

I want a P special body with a 24 fret Jazz neck.

I like the P-neck.

Fender made the spacing too wide at the bridge and too narrow at the nut. They need to stop that sh*t.

Oh, by the way.

Using that link bypasses the splash screen as it isn't ready yet, but have a poke around. Ironically enough we're completely redoing the design after new years.

Fair enough. I really just want at least one bass with a fast neck for punky type stuff.

I'm considering just modifying my Cort Gb34a a bit, it's great to play and well built, just a bit dodgy pups/electronics.

Although I could buy an Artisan.

Will only trade for mint condition Shoeless Joe Jackson rookie card.

Don't lie. You want my Musician bad :lol:

I'll let you play it if I move to Sydney.
