Hot norwegian blondes...

[Jorundr]

Will throw themselves at me (best case scenario) when this project is done. The actual ordering will not happen until august, but the plan is pretty much done. I have a few questions before i'm done:

1. I've read some really nice things about the hipshot bass tuners in here. Is there a difference (other than holes and other aesthetics) between the HB1, HB2, HB3 etc... any stong feelings abouth either out there?

2. This one's for the warmoth insider: kinda fell in love with he looks of this, in my head this will compliment my build perfectly

Was this finish a one off super special finish? or can i somehow order it for my bass? if so, what will it cost me?

3. on a p-bass pickguard, will warmoth be able to drill  Volume\Volume\Tone\Jack control holes or is it best to omit the holes alltogether and do them myself?

and sorry for the suggestive topic :icon_biggrin:

That topic is basically false advertising.

I dunno, that color body has a bit of "70s washing machine" vibe to it, don't you think? But, I'm not an expert on hot norwegian blondes. I always thought chicks liked it when guys played the guitar, not just when they bought a nice one.  :doh:

 

[Jorundr]

Absolutely shanejw, I have no shame.

haha, damn you Tfarny you've got a point. I guess that finish can go both ways. hmmm....

no answers to the questions?

Well, they can definitely drill the pickguard!  I can't answer the rest of your questions.

 

[tfarny]

Actually, I thought they could omit holes from pickguards but not drill new ones. i asked them to drill me a 1/4" hole for a mini switch in my strat pickguard and they told me to get lost.

Oh good call... I thought he said VTI not VVTI.

So did you get lost?

Reminds me, when my mother turned 60 she thought she better start working out, so she started walking 3 miles a day, now shes 70 and we have no idea where she is

Post 999, and he makes me groan...

Works out to 10,950 miles, which puts her about 1/4 of the way around the world.  If she lives to be 100 you can see her again!

"Extra light basswood"
Someone get that and put a full ebony neck on it. Just to prove a point. My point. :icon_scratch:

Sooo...where's the "yellow" in Iridium Yellow? On my monitor, that Strat body is some kind of metallic olive green.
