Mudfuzz's meandering, ever changing project idea thread...

[eatyourguitar]

And...

I did some a little when she wasnt looking I in my mind I was all but really I just and said

[Mudfuzz]

I think I actually found a bootleg one on ebay.. gotta love ebay-people for the weird bootleg stickers It's clear though Hmmm patch on a bass... fuzzy armrest?

I've patched a guitar before...gold upside down cross on the headrest

Basically all I am changing in the project is the bod and adding a teisco pickup at the bridge [I am pulling this from the Thang MK-I which is being turned into a midi controller] so Neck: TV Jones Thundertron. Bridge: Teisco square poll/blacktop single coil. My only snag is pickup rings which I think I'll have to make myself.

Also... I am annoyed that I can't find a sticker version of Yoko's shull hairpin You can get the actual thing or a patch but no sticker Gainax's merchandising has finally failed me

Check it, custom colors and sizes too:

If you get one big enough the top of the skull could start at the back by the strap button and the teeth would end up between the pickups.
Not sure how it would look with all the hardware mounted though.

[Mudfuzz]

That would be going a bit far.. I'm thinking about the same size as the star here..

Nerd pride yo!

I mean this thing is for recording anyway, I doubt I'll ever play out with it...

[Mudfuzz]

Found a pickguard and ordered stickers

Looks like I am going to have to make a ring for that bridge pickup Thinking plexi glass ATM, I might do one for the TV too so they match... I hate routing plexi but I want it to look right.. wood would be easy, and I could paint it black but for some reason that feels lame...

[Achtane]

Right on!

You should paint the underside of the plexiglass

[Mudfuzz]

Yep, I is black.

[Mudfuzz]

Guard


Sticker

I'm getting 4 of them just in case.

Also [pending on what the bod actually looks like in person] Red might be in the running for re-fin...

[Mudfuzz]

Body and guard came, fit neck, took pict...

[Achtane]

Awesome! Super awesome!

[Bassus Sanguinis]

oh my, that's one swinging bass!

[Mudfuzz]

Yeah it's cool! not going to re-fin it's too chewed up, to do so I would have to rebuild edges, which I know how to do, but... I like the mojo it has, this thing really got the shit beat out of it. Body is Philippine mahogany which a lot of 60's Japanese guitars were made out of, it's a really light wood, my electra MPC was made out of it and that guitar was good sounding it had more lows and less mids/sustain like a real mahogany body would have... I think this will work out for the sound application I have in mind which is a bass to play lots of chords on Gunn'a have to add a little wood under the bridge pickup and I still need to think on the ring things..
