Only just recently started playing bass, never played a string instrument before and I love it.
Thought I'd make a project along with learning to play and settled on a HB-4S violin bass.
Pics up next post.
Happy days.

I don't play the bass, but every time I see these hb4's I am soo tempted.

The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
Going with Angelus leather dyes and Tru-oil in a dragons breath inspired look on the front and attempting a nuclear burst on the back with sunset fade on the sides.
I got a start on it today, pics to come.
Rage, sounds like it will look steller. I too am using angelus leather dyes on my build as well.
Whoa... pretty sure I saw all that at a Grateful Dead concert in 1980!...a dragons breath inspired look on the front and attempting a nuclear burst on the back with sunset fade on the sides.
Making the world a better place; one guitar at a time...
Well after crapping my pants about applying the stain to such a crazy thin veneer with no way to fix any stuff ups, I just went for it gritting my teeth.
So this is how it looks now with first colours down.
A few glue lines and scratches showed up
Not happy with the glue lines but ya get that on these apparently.
Not sure how to fix it without messing up the colours.
The back wasn't quite what I planned on but it will do.
