No, not your Boss and that guy that cuts you off in the traffic everyday, you guitar hit list! We all have GAS, so whats on your hit list?
The ES-2v is tempting , I'd just do it in gloss black with P90's or maybe Filtertrons more like a Gretsch Jet
I've done some messing in Photshop with a couple I'd like do
a Vee
Attachment 12511
Hoffner Bass
Attachment 12512
This one would have to be a special order as the kit doesn't come with the Jag trem rout
Attachment 12513
of course there are more.....
At this stage, I want to do a PRS kit, and end up with this!!
I know its unimaginative, gauche and clichéd, but I'd like to do something like this:

Though I would continue the theme with an ebonised fingerboard, delete the pickguard and make all of the inlay black on black. Just because you can never have too much black.
the other I would like to attempt is a PRS 24 style of thing with a really nicely figured top as per Zandit's one, though a deep red with a hint of a burst.
I approve of your darkness Dr Frankenwashie.

My only regret is that no-one makes black fretwire. :(Quote:

Would also dearly love to do a PRS kit or scratch build, something like this...

if I can bring myself to deal with quilt veneer again.
And all these single cut bass builds going on have got me frothing for something Ritter-esque.

And oddly enough, I had bought a set of Seymour Duncan Black Winter humbuckers for FrankenWashie. They may have to be repurposed!Quote:

Is it just me or do the multiscales look like they are localising a twist in the fabric of reality? Almost like they are riding the very edge of an event horizon slowly distorting as they are being drawn in....
No, that's the acid you took.Quote:

@Dedman, @Pablo. Fair call Gents, eye of the beholder and whatnot.
They look freaky, but play nicely.
I struggle enough with all the frets nice and straight, I'd be interested to try one out but I fear it may be beyond my paltry skills. Would be an intense build as well, I imagine fretting would be.....interesting.Quote:

Fortunately, the only acids I deal with are the ones that eat things and make a mess.Quote:

5 and a half years ago I bought a near new Stingray4 HH and for 4 and a half years I loved it to bits.
Because I like to keep things simple, I got too overwhelmed by the tonal choices of two centre tap 'buckers and a 5 way switch. (Stratocaster? Forget it...)
So began the covetting of a Stingray5 with a single pickup.
I started playing rhythm guitar about 2 years ago and about a year later I sold the Stingray4 to buy a very expensive Maton electric. (Nice, no, EXCELLENT guitar, but more than I'll ever need)
I also got a cheap Yamaha at the endoffinancialyearsale, just so I could keep a bass in the studio - you never know.
Lucky I did, because 2 months ago I got a job in a band - on bass. Yippee.
But the Yammy just wasn't gonna cut it.
Long story short... What (bass) guitar do I want?
Stingray5 H
What (bass) guitar do I now own?
Stingray5 H
The acquisition phase is over. I'm not a collector, I'm a player. (Though I might search out a cheap Stingray SUB to leave at work for practice.)
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! I know a couple like that, though thankfully my own is a fairly neutral pH, relatively speaking.Quote:
