Its been a wild few months between work, hurricanes, home repairs. Etc. I finally finished the JBass. I gave it a good setup today and installed the pickup and bridge covers. I am in love with this bass.

Dean metalman style bass. Poison green candy paint. I took inspiration from frankenstrat. I am just trying out different techniques. It feels very 80s glam rock to me.

Ive been busy with work and havent been in the studio much. I currently have two on yhe bench, a 5 string with a teal candy over gold paintjob, with a nod to knights and heraldry and the other a really fun art project inspired by Elvis and my favorite of his jumpsuits. I think i want to do another beaded Elvis guitar… maybe a black one with the Conquistador design.

I finished the elvis inspired bass. The top is fully hand stoned. I am happy with the results. This was also my first venture into leveling and dressing the frets. For an inexpensive bass kit, it plays so well.

Thank you! Yeah, first time painting a guitar. I’ve painted other things, like a couple wooden signs and other odd things. I would like to build a kit guitar sometime.

Nice! Definitely try out a kit. I was a little apprehensive at first, but was greatly surprised. So far, the kits at solomusicgear.com have been my favorites. They are ready to go out of the box. The other brands i have tried, required a bit more work upfront, i.e. opening up the pickup cavities to make them fit, upgrading some of the wiring, etc.
The elvis guitar is the first one that i have expanded beyond the aesthetic and really started working on the frets. It made a huge difference in how it responds. I used the fretwork kit and supplies from musicnomad.
