Tim D Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) hi im new to this forum got alot of tips from diffrent articals and think its excellent. ive just started a project refinishing a bass guitar that has been gathering dust for a few years.Being my first project i thought i would serch the web to find some advice and i stumbled across this site. i read the tutorial on material finishes and thought that was a great idea.so decided i would look for some materials on the web the first place i looked was ebay as i use the site alot.and their i found many different materials in all different colours a designs. I decided on a few different designs that i liked but obviously could only have one.If only their was a way of seeing the finished results before actually doing any work, that could help me decide which material to buy. Any how i had this idea.I saved a picture of a guitar from the web and then saved pictures of the materials ,using Adobe photoshop i opened the picture of the guitar and removed the paint colour from the body and head stock so wher the paint was it is now transparent,now using the material photo i placed that underneath the body area and did the same to the neck area. cheak out the picture. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f242/fre...pwerredcopy.jpg i will keep you posted on the progress.so you can see how it turns out.Let me know what you think etc.ps hope the picture works Photos Too Large Edited February 10, 2006 by Scott Rosenberger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgnt.pepper Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I like it. Have a look at my post in under this section for a similar idea which I scrapped. Go for it. Sgnt.Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Far out. Tim, you might take a look at the picture posting rules: Posting Of Pictures: - ALL pics are to be no more than 640x480 pixels. - ONE PIC PER POST., except in the Tutorial sections, where you are allowed up to 10 pics per post. - All subsequent (following) pics in a post are to be linked. DO NOT USE THE "IMG" TAG for pics 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. - DO NOT HOT-LINK TO PICS NOT OWNED BY YOU AND ON YOUR OWN SERVER. Use the URL tag instead to provide a link to the pic. - ABSOLUTELY NO PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL IS TO BE POSTED. Posting of such will result in an IMMEDIATE ban from the site. "Guitar porn" excluded. :-) - When quoting a post with a pic in it, CHANGE THE 'IMG' TAG TO A LINK, or remove it from your post. - Keep the pics on topic in each thread. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...ndpost&p=138938 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
