A little extra *bling* for my LP

[gearHed289]

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....

I still haven't figured out how to properly photograph guitars, but I will try to get a good body shot for ya. Here's a crop of the pic above.

I like it too!!

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

Hohum.

For what it's trying to be, it's kinda ok I guess ... possibly even approaching the tangents of nice ...

her Moderator, how does one develope such an affection for black plastic?

[uwe]

It's my Airfix and Revell roots!

[TBird1958]

Airfix and Revell or the adhesive used for assembly

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.

[TBird1958]

Kidding aside, it's a great looking bass!

As for inhaling.............Adhesives or otherwise
