  1. That explains the Alembic pickups
  2. They do have solid state bass amps though. Including a combo as well, but I doubt that's what he's talking bout though.
  3. Some Nordstrand Basses http://www.nordstrandguitars.com/assets/im...AMM04/NAMM1.jpg http://www.nordstrandguitars.com/assets/im...AMM04/namm3.jpg http://www.nordstrandguitars.com/assets/im...yB/abfront4.jpg http://www.nordstrandguitars.com/assets/im...yB/abfront1.jpg Some Fodera Basses http://www.fodera.com/gallery/EmpII/foderaempII_top.jpg http://www.fodera.com/gallery/EmpII/foderaempII_carving.jpg http://www.fodera.com/gallery/Beast/foderabeast_headback.jpg http://www.fodera.com/gallery/Beast/foderabeast_back.jpg Benavente Binding/laminates anyone? :0 http://www.benaventeguitars.com/images/0310/bhaj6sc/bhj4.JPG http://www.benaventeguitars.com/images/031...aj6sc/bhj95.JPG http://www.benaventeguitars.com/images/0310/bhaj6sc/bhj9.JPG http://www.benaventeguitars.com/images/031...aj6sc/bhj93.JPG ADMIN EDIT- combined back-to-back-to-back posts. Try to watch that, Fretless6. Thanks.
  4. drew it on the guitar by hand. but used a photoshop action to do the mockup. you can find the photoshop action on adobe's website.
  5. Sure go ahead I removed the screw poles first, stuffed all holes with bits of tissue paper and masked the sides with tape. Then I used a safety pin to scrap off the paint from the slug poles after each coat.
  6. A couple more updates... Painted the pickups and added a couple of clear coats over the paint. Didn't smear! Bought some white strat style knobs for her today.
  7. Painted. Decided to go without the black outline for the jigsaw blocks. Probably going to let this one have a "coarse" clearcoat, giving it sort of a canvas feel to it. Just wondering if anyone knows if this is going to be a problem. The acrylic colors I used are water soluble. I'll be spraying clear acrylic epoxy onto this (the base coats I applied were also acrylic epoxy). I hope the paint isn't gonna dissolve into the clear coat... Also, would gold paint marker ink take nicely to the acrylic epoxy?
  8. It's a Japanese RG from '95. Used to have flame maple veneer, which I striped off in one of the numerous refinishes I have put this baby through So not much left to ruin, could always strip it back. Btw, faux binding on this one. Gonna be a black back, so I masked part of the sides and sprayed the top white as a base coat for the artwork. Gonna leave the edges whites. Updates!! I must say it looks kinda good as it is now. Choices, choices
  9. Gonna turn this old girl into this Gonna paint by hand (brush) using acrylic paints. Just got started with the base coats
  10. Be careful going about it, tube amps deal with lethal voltages.
  11. Polished with autosol after sanding down to 2000 grit My crappy digital camera can't take close up shots, though. This is the best I can do...
  12. Patience is not a virtue of mine Got annoyed and sanded the finish off. Indeed, the coating is very very thin. Comes off completely with a few swipes of 400grit sandpaper. Polished up the brass saddles, and viola! Before (minus one) After
