Looks GREAT.

Awesome. Did you paint it?

Yep,

It took me a couple of months, painting it white first and then painting the eye. But most important.....the bass plays great! Only minor detail I still have to find a solution for, is painting the guitarstrap white. It is camelhair (same as Prince has), but in a yellowish colour, and I want it white.

peace and B wild

You could bleach it???

Also, how did you manage to paint the fretboard? I hear Maple is the only fretboard wood that easily lends itself to painting, as most other woods aren't dense enough....

Off course I tried everything, including bleaching. It does not work! Other fabrics turn white immediately, but not the guitarstrap. There is no such thing as a white textilepaint, so the last thing I will try is using peroxide. And a strong one!

The fretboard was first sprayed with a "filler", to make it nice and smooth. Then I sandpapered the whole thing and afterwards sprayed it in a white colour. Finishing with a transparent laquer. The frets were taped very precisely, so the result looks quite good.

Cheers.....
