loquito5765 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Ok I got this bass from this kid for 40 bucks and was gunna shine it up and make it look new then resell it for 80 bucks to another kid (good deal eh?) I took it all apart and rewired it, go the electronics working, used some murpheys on the neck make it look all pretty, then the final step buffing and waxing out the scratches. When I finished waxing it, i picked it up with two cloths as to not get any fingerprints on it, and being stupid, i picked it up near the bottom, and as soon as i put enough pressure on it, off it went. It flung out of my hands and bounced a few times on the pavement. Lucky me, now I get to sand it all down, and repaint it. I did just get a new airbrush that ive been wanting to test out though. To make this thread more useful, post some ideas for me to paint it. Im not very skilled yet, but I want to try something (if you guys know smashnmash from the ultimate-guitar boards) with masking tape and an x-acto. Its a silvertone normal p-bass. http://images.misupply.com/products/full/S...rtone/b11lh.jpg ^ That one.

Daniel Sorbera Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Ouch Good thing it was only a 40 dollar guitar. I think I would cry if I did that to any of my nice guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarchump Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 thats why i never do finnish work over pavement i always lay down a nice soft cloth around my work area and when im detailing the guitar i do it in my carpeted area of my work shop on a cloth toped bench. Well good luck on you finnish man! Hope it makes the bass look 100 times better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
