Maybe I should show my true colours and go for a black pickguard for the p-bass - then again, after Friday's effort I might not... :?Quote:

Funny you should mention that, I was thinking of a J Bass with a Vintage white top and BMW sides and back, with a Magpie Mother of Pearl inlay in the fretboard....
Could sell that to Eddie for a bucket of cash :D
I should do a blue and white Tele, to
a) Get a North Melbourne guitar and
b) Have a Tele without Adam stealing it!!!! Now, is there a way to dye MOP??? Or is there a way to dye the fretboard in a certain shape?? :P
Sure is, Blue and White Guitars should be dyed with petrol and set on fire :DQuote:

*sigh* more threads are being hijacked everyday....
Anyways, I can see that the flame in the cap is finally showing through, so I will throw another coat on it either tomorrow night or Wednesday night, then wait 24 hours before doing the back!!!
Some teams have a habit of celebrating their season in May.
I'm just saying. ;)
Mostly teams like Essendon, who seem to peak at this time of year. Luckily the pies have been very consistent in making September action :)Quote:

We are actually starting to win, so who knows, we could be in the top 4 this season (although the chances are low :P )
with any luck Pest my team will be in the top 4 after thrashing the Demons on SundayQuote:

go the MIGHTY DOCKERS !
I got another coat on the top about 3 minutes ago, the black part disappeared pretty damn fast, I might have missed some spots, I'll check tomorrow morning
post us a photo Pest, not sure what you mean black part disappeared ?Quote:

Did you apply both golden rod and dark onyx on the top ?
sorry about that, I meant that the black that you see when the DO is first applied seemed to fade away quicky, the DO still retains the black part of it, it looked like it had completely soaked in after I bursted the top!!!
Yes, I did apply both colours to the top!!
EDIT: DB, want to know how I am bursting the LP??? I can even add in how I did the darker Goldenrod?!?!?!
oh ok Pest, yes wudtone takes little time to soak in
look forward to an update photo when the light is sufficient in the morning
and DB if I knew you were a Collingwood fan I would have given you a hard time about Freo beating them 2 rounds ago !
...as would I Wokka, any team that beats Collingwood!
You're all jealous of the powerhouse that is Collingwood Football Club.Quote:

Roar.
So the Anzac day match was obviously an aberration?
So, after letting the coat cure a bit overnight, there is a massive amount of cleanliness in the Dark Onyx!!!! There is still some work to do on it, but it is looking awesome!!!
Now, in the third pic, there is some Goldenrod on top of the Dark Onyx, will a rub of steel wool do the trick???

Gut feeling - if it was to take the GR, it would also take the DO... Maybe sand lightly and replace with some more DO? Like the concept though - with a bit of gloss it will be hot!
Pest I think you have to sand back the edge of the dark onyx so you get a smoother edge and so more golden rod will be visible, the blend width looks too narrow, so I'd sand back part of the dark onyx edge so it lightens up then you will get a smoother blend of the GR/DO.Quote:

You have chosen 2 colours which are near the opposite of the colour spectrum which makes it harder to get a smooth blend, so you have thrown yourself in the deep end bro.
Looks like you have applied the DO in a circular fashion on the edges. You should be wiping the rag parallel to the edge of the body to get a smooth edge.
Try some 400 or 600 paper then finish the sanding with steel wool, but be careful to only sand the edge of the DO and the thin blend line and no need to sand any of the pure GR on the edge. Hope this makes sense, good luck cuz !
If you look at the recent history between the two sides, I would say yes.Quote:

Also, peptides. (Waits for angry response from Essendon supporters)
Edit: those photos make me think you secretly go for West Coast Callum. Boooooo!!!
How do u think a plain blue with a white CCF in the mid section...lol (not that I follow the footy)
haha AJ, the female half of my family are Carlton supporters as well, the Nth Melbs and Carlton matches are always fun to watch!!!
Just because our dealer is better than yours... ;)Quote:

Hey, there's more than one ex Victorian over here and we don't drop our allegances (unless it's to pick up another struggling team e.g., Warriors :-().
Ok Brendan, I forgive you :P
did you move over because of the Melbs weather???
What weather? Every time I have been to Melbs it has been raining and damned cold..... Even in summer.....
Does the sun ever come out in Melbs? :)
No, with the problems with the motor industry, the smelter and such, I think their sun has been switched off to save on electricity?Quote:

Only long enough to convince you to leave your wet weather gear at home so that it can dump on you later :) .Quote:

Pest - I'm an Army brat, so Mum & Dad moved around a bit... and I ended up seeing the light and laying down roots in the Wild West. :P
Our last summer/autumn would go against your hypothesis. Was a stinker. My front garden is filled with succulents which are supposedly drought/heat wave proof, and half of them died :(Quote:

Haha, my thread got hijacked again :P

it was hard because it was district, so there were like 4 schools there, but I survived!
my time was 15 minutes (+17 seconds :P ) so i was happy with that, my ankles are still killing me!!!!
The other schools are high in sports, so there was little hope for any of us!!
Inability to win? Cheat! haha
haha, if only there was a way to cheat it without getting lost in the bush!!!
