Rocktober!!! Gotm

I'm trying to post my new ESB bass and I'm having trouble finding where to do it

Hi Andy, your images were just too large (in pixels) to post. I have reduced them and here they are:

"This is a really cool ESB-4 Bass in Black/Red burst, painted by my drummer John Stubblefield.
I think it's a very original color, Adam will explain the custom bridge saddles*.
Thank you
Andy"



*Andy had a lot of trouble getting the right height on his bridge. If you look closely, you can see he's had someone engineer some custom brass saddles to get more height on the strings. An incredible workaround.

With all the debate about professional paint finishing this one looks exceptionally good. Would have preferred a build diary so that we have a bit of a back story behind the finished product when it comes time to judging.

beautiful ESB-4 Andy, love the colour and finish.
@ Klegacy I can appreciate what work you have put into your build. As DB has suggested I will be scoring your entry on all the other aspects of the build. And I won't be deducting points.

IB-5. First attempt at a build. Oak stain with Satin poly finish. Sheared a few screw heads on cover plate, which was annoying.

gday all..

here's my entry for the Rocktober GOTM
finally a day bright enough to take the final pics though it's been ready for about a week now.. i am going to swap out the pickups and pots at some point.. but that may take a while so for now i'm calling it good.. been playing it quite a lot lately.. she does sound good to me.





taking pics is not my forte.. but i do like the way the colour changes with the lighting
