    Ok I'll pop this here, but I can't claim it. This bass was painted by Jason, the art teacher, and his students at Macklay Vocational College in Kempsey. Adam donated the kit to the school. MVC is a school for disadvantaged youth, mainly aboriginal, on the mid north coast. All I did was the clearcoat and put it together.
    Photos were a bit rushed first thing this morning before it put it on the school bus up to Kempsey, finished last night late!
    Paint done with artists acrylic in the traditional way, clearcoat Cobots poly gloss front of headstock and body, satin neck. Kit is a JB4-A.
    A huge thanks to Adam for his generosity, they have a well appointed music room which is very secure (necessary unfortunately) and the equipment is treated extremely well by the kids. I'm very confident this will have many years of use as well as appearing in some of their art displays which are amazing, as you can imagine!

    I'll claim any blemishes as my own; the kid's work was nigh on perfect!

    Clear coat on the back not as smooth and flat as front but I would be happy to own it.

    How did it sound? No buzz or hum from neck PUP?

    Yes, the whole thing was painted purple with a brush first, both sides have brush marks, but the surface on the dots, as they are applied by the blunt end of a brush, are nice and smooth on the front.
    I was in such a rush to finish it as the bus was leaving today, it was hard to check for hum. The only time I could play it was last night about ten thirty! But there was no noise at low volumes, even up close to the amp, actually had a nice warm sound with stock pickups.
