That looks like it came straight out of a custom shop catalogue, awesome work!

Steve200's IB-5 build
My son is 12 and has been learning to play bass for many years. It is time to move up from a 3/4 to a full size Guitar.

So I got him an IB5 kit with black fittings so we could both learn a bit more about instruments.

This is his first attempt at building and painting, and we are really happy with how it has come out.

The paint is a silver with yellow fading to copper fading to red candy over it.

Crystals were then applied over that and black painted over the crystal. The crystals were then washed off to reveal the colour under the black. This was then finished with a 2 pack clear coat.

The neck has a jarrah stain applied with a clear over that also.

The kit went together extremely well, and is a credit to Pit Bull Guitars.

He is already talking about a fretless next….

Thanks for providing a quality product that made this a fun and rewarding experience for us both.

Thanks for that, we are really happy how it turned out too.
Yes, my son did all the sanding, primer, colour and effects painting.
I only helped with the equipment setup and the clear coat.

Glad I am not voting. I would be like "they all win".

Here is my TB4 that i finished during June. The body and headstock are painted with Duplicolor Metallic Red with Duplicolor clearcoat. The pickguard is Duplicolor metallic black and the back of the neck was stained with black stain then distressed and finished with satin polyurethane. All parts are from the kit. Really enjoyed building this and I want to do another bass, this time a 5 string. Thank you everyone!!
