Thank you Wokkaboy. The marble effect you can get in a Dulux spray can. It sprays on like silly string.Quote:

Love the effect of the marble finish, and the slightly oddball assembly. How'd you go matching up the bass neck with what I assume is a guitar pocket? Was it just a matter of dropping it in there and getting the scale length right? Or did you have to reshape one or the other?
The right handed neck fitted nicely into the left handed slot. I just measured from the back of the nut to the middle of the 12th fret...which was 433mm. I then measured 433mm from the middle of the 12th fret to the centre of the E string saddle. Marked where the bridge would sit, got a 12 inch ruler and lined the centre of the saddles (string grooves) with the centre of the magnets of the pick ups.Quote:

great finish - a very metal bass.
Those Eminars are awesome beasts of amps
Bro you are knocking these out left right and center! Another great build and with a very unusual and very cool finish. I hope you replaced the nail polish though, else you'll be in BIG trouble! ;)

She had enough for you to coat a whole bass body and not notice it was missing?
Yes Andy, it hangs great. Not top heavy.Quote:
