    Haha, yeah, well spotted Fretty. I made that slide very quickly (it shows), so I'll do up a better slide now we have some actual photos of the finish to use. Thanks for pointing that out.

    If anyone sees any Easter Eggs (from the sale) on the site, let me know. I thought I deleted them all but I found another one last night.

    Cheers,

    Adam

    "Dingtone" = Dingotone on a basswood body.

    My first Pit Bull Build did not go so well....moving on now. Looking at making the Precision Bass Deluxe kit with the Red pickguard.

    I have been mucking around with the bass guitars I have at home the past few days. They all have different finishes. From a manufactured spray painted acrylic finish, lacquer finish, tru-oil finish, to wipe-on poly finish.

    Maybe it is just me, but I get wicked sustain on the oiled finish (wax over the top.) The others are not too bad....but the non painted finish is awesome.

    So, the question. I have been thinking about making a Bass and using Dingotone to finish, seal and protect the guitar. However colours and combinations escape me. The kit, PBH-4, has a basswood body with a red pearloid pickguard....so was thinking something with the Coolangatta Gold colour kit on the body. What neck colour?????? Would I be better with the colourless kit, or what colour does the Acacia kit finish as....(amber/yellow perhaps?) I would think that the bloodwood would be nearly a red colour.

    My thoughts were...PBH4 kit, DingoWax to fingerboard and overall finish. Coolangatta Gold on the body, and Acacia on the neck. I would really like to see a neck with the finishes on it to make a choice.

    Thanks,

    Greg

    Hey AJ, I just saw your post. The T-Shirts are very generously sized. I'm quite a big lad (85kg) with a reasonably sized beer gut and I fit a Large size Pit Bull Guitars T-Shirt quite comfortably. So, unless you are ridiculously huge, the XL should be just right.
    Cheers,

    Since I am rather like a big old blue tongue lizard sunning on a nicely placed rock..(basically last 16 years had a sedentary style due to cardiomyopathy. I'm now quite "portly", could say I'm vertically challenged for my weight these days matey. height 6ft, weight well north of 100kg. would there be an XXL? If there is will get one
