[Mor Paul]

Pfft.. you just wanted to show off Blue.

Pfft.. you just wanted to show off Blue.

Well yeah!!  :toothy12:

But that is still a killer bass!!  :headbang1:

 

[whyachi]

I love the bass, but there is no excuse for that table.

 

[Patrick]

no, thats the box the body came in.

 

[Paul-less]

Hate to say it, Mike, but that top's finish looks even better than Blue's  :laughing7:

You made "Blue" cry  :sad:

Sorry, but it appears as though "Blue" is missing a Tone knob! You should fix that up, before somebody sees him and he becomes embarrassed!

 

[Death by Uberschall]

Got all the tone it needs. Sorry to hi-jack the thread.

But that is still a killer bass!!  :headbang1:

Yes, of course! This is just casual conversaion as we wait impatiently for pictures of the finished product! It would be a shame for this to fall down the forum and be forgotten!

He is from Wallonia, that's acceptable over there

Holey Moley, that is one of the prettiest quilt dyes I have ever seen. I love the color.  :hello2:

 

[bendeg]

Death by Uberschall, yours is gorgeous as well !

To "Blue" : don't cry sweetie, you're one of my favorites  ccasion14:

 

[Auxan]

Now, the fingerboard is oiled ! And the Ziricote is  :icon_thumright:

 

[bendeg]

Thanks Auxan ! Oh lord, I can't wait...

 

[bendeg]

nice. There's a Dinky P that looks like that in the showcase that's been there for a while. i almost bought it, too. very cool

what pickups are you putting in? I'm curious to hear the J/MM configuration in action

Auxan is going to put DELANO's (bridge and neck)

LOL, you're gonna hurt my girlfriend, she's proud of that tablecloth ! LOOOL, just kidding...I've already ruined it while preparing my home-made PASTIS, a few alcohol 90° drops fell on it and the ink disappeared...LOL

Here's another view of the body that shows off better I think (no tablecloth...) and if you look carefully, above the neck pickup there're very light white circles, like it wasn't well finished, this is really strange, you can only see it at a specific light angle...

 

[Death by Uberschall]

"Blue" has a couple spots where the grain didn't absorb as much dye and it could have, but it's not like a patch of missing dye, it just looks a little light on the grain lines. You probably have the same thing.

 

[bendeg]

Yep indeed ! But it's fine for me, no harm done at all, it's just, unexpected...

 

[erogenousjones17]

All that blue quilt is a hazard: it's making me dizzy. You guys had best send it all here for safe keeping. :laughing7:

well if you want you could send the body to me and icould "refinish" it for you Patrick Sims style  :icon_jokercolor:

I don't see anything that looks like inconsistency in the finish, but maybe it's subjective
