That nacreous light blue effect is simply magic, but the pick guard knocks my socks off.
Basses don't always blow my skirt up, but this one sure does.
Beautiful job Kerrie and Scott. Beautiful bass - nice attention to detail and fantastic work on the pickguard.

I thought as much, the look on Kerrie's face says it all./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from sfkhooper on October 27, 2013, 18:57
Quite right, Rob. Let there be no mistake about it; this was Kerrie's build. I was just there for the electronics and screwdriver skills![]()
Well done guys.

Thanks guys, for the encouragement. Kerrie is stalking this page, lapping up all the comments. Robin, you're dead right, she's really happy with the whole experience and obviously the results too. This is the first bass in the house and she's just learning, but it heralds a time when we can start playing together, which we're both pretty happy about.
In fact we've plugged into Rocksmith (XBox) and she's already kicking my ass!! Personally, I think Rocksmith is a terrible way for anyone to learn guitar, but it has her playing which is the main thing.![]()
Nice job
Amazing job guys. Your custom scratch plate is just icing on the cake! Awesome result. You must be stoked.
cheers,
Gavin.

Very nice - Unorthodox approach, and a great effect. There are some ideas going around here that I'm filing away, and this is one of them!
Scott / Kerrie - check out Scott's bass lessons: http://scottsbasslessons.com/ - heaps of free online bass lessons. Most of all - Kerrie - you've started with the right instrument - none of this 6 string rubbish.
