just took apart my Squier jag bass

[Achtane]

Satin is king.
Kill all high gloss fans.

Just what I wanted to hear.

Are you hell bent on keeping the pickguard? There is a site greasygroove.com that has very cool and varied pickguards, perhaps you can find something that will make your bass "pop".

That gunmetal is awesome

Nah, I just figured keeping the pickguard means one less thing to buy.

I would like an aluminum guard etched by Dan W or Acid Splash...

But that's a maybe one day kinda thing. I'll check that link out though! I'm going for sort of minimal.

Oh, what should I do with the headstock? I was thinking of leaving it blank. I thought I was super clever thinking of getting Fucker in the Fender font.
Then I googled.

So, I dunno now.

As it happens, I recently finished painting a strat I'm working on in satin green, like that tele.

After that I sanded the shit out of it in areas, revealing undercoats of black and white

I highly recommend satin/matte finish, and I'd say keep the headstock plain. It's rare that I've ever seen a plain headstock and I reckon it'd look pretty sweeet!

I just got new paint.

Carbon Mist.

Fingers crossed. I think this is the one.

[neonblack]

Base coat has been sprayed on the body, and I covered up the navy on the headstock. The color is a super dark metallic grey. I love it!

A couple splatters where the spraycan sputtered. Im hoping I can sand them out. I guess Ill try tomorrow afternoon and put another coat on it. Maybe tomorrow evening. its humid as fuck here.

Paying for the P pickup and gotoh bridge tomorrow. Hopefully getting the J pickup after the weekend. Once all that comes in, plus new strings, all I have to do is wait for the painting to be done.

Im really trying not to get in a hurry with this. Im hoping my patience will be rewarded with a badass bass.

Pics tomorrow.

[Iommic Pope]

Carbon Mist sounds like the most badass colour ever.
Cannot wait to see pics.

[neonblack]

Sneaky peeky

God, Imgur, why?

[Iommic Pope]

That is nice.

[KaosCill8r]

Satin charcoal. That should come up nice. Good call. Did you know almost black is the new black?

[neonblack]

Ive wanted a grey bass since the first time I saw a japanese Aerodyne.

This grey is better.

Also, its hard to tell, but its metallic.

Mmmmm yes those Aerodynes! Looking good, breaux.

[Holy Schnikes]

Give each coat plenty of dry time with this humidity.
