[iuserneim]

looks nice, doesn't it ?

i could translate the description, if someone is interested...

(no, i'm not the seller !)

That is sort of the color my "Autism Awareness" bass is going to be! Only difference is the puzzle pieces on the body and then as they move up the neck, they become lighter and lighter until they disappear at the headstock

 

[Kris]

Gotten any closer as to how you're going to get the bass done?

 

[JanVanHove]

damn, and it's still dirt cheap...

grrr.... why, why must e-bay tempt me with all those wonderful basses?

 

[iuserneim]

sounds nice.

are you going to get puzzle-inlays in the fingerboard, too ?

 

[Robin]

that looks excelent in the neck thru design

 

[SurrenderMonkey]

looks like one of Prince's Thumb bass. Not really my thing (why hide all that beautiful bubinga!?! :wink, but it looks cool noneless.

I think lex will be interested in this bass.

 

[Lex]

uh oh.... GAS attack!



It's cool but I don't need another one (2 is enough).


It aint one of Prince's!

He has one with an all white fingerboard, and also has one that is fretless...

 

[JanVanHove]

2 what lex?

you don't have 2 white thumbs...
come on, you know you want it...

 

[Lex]

2 what lex?

come on, you know you want it...

My will power when it comes to these things is flakey at best... don't push me... hahah

 

[JanVanHove]

come on, it's pretty, it's a wolf in sheep's clothing, it's completely different sonically than your Streamers, get it! :twisted:

(It does say in my signature that I'm a GAS expert, right?)

Cool - you'll be happy to know that I have used my bass heavily over the last year with roundwounds and the fretboard shows absolultey no signs of wear.

lex, i always wondered if the white laquer on the fingerboard would wear from playing.

is the laquer coating of the neck that thick ? or are the strings touching the fingerboard very little ?
or is that laquer that durable...

Mate it's really a combination of all three of those factors

The paint on the board is not *that* think, however it's very durable. I guess because the frets have very little wear there's almost no contact between the string and the fingerboard when you press the note.
