A little extra *bling* for my LP
« on: November 11, 2008, 09:01:58 AM »
OK, I'm a simple guy, and I like shiny things.... So, changing the black hardware to chrome on my '94 LP Special held me over for a while, but it just wasn't enough. I had Dave at Fretsonthenet.net make me some polished aluminum trim rings for the pups. They're basically 70's style T-bird rings with a slightly enlarged opening for the black plastic soapbars. Then, I added some chrome top SG/T-bird style knobs. I like it! Has kind of a Hobbit vibe now. The bass looks kind of brown in the pic for some reason. It's actually very red....

Photos turn out best using natural sun light. Just take then out side on a guitar stand and have the guitar facing the sun. Actually overcast days sometimes yield better color/ pictures

I had this huge pot of adhesive and when I pushed my face close to the opening ... I was flying.  :)

I guess I inhaled, but you guys finally have a President who did too.

Kidding aside, it's a great looking bass!

As for inhaling.............Adhesives or otherwise   ;D
