Sarah Ryan inspired Fender XII and Jazz Bass

[Patrick from Davis]

I think Tonar has a recipe somewhere for, "Creosote Black," that really adds some depth to the black.

Glad you like it.  I was going to sand out the brush marks (yes, we are talking brush marks here folks), but you know I kinda like the texture.

I did take great care to have the marks all going in exactly the same direction - makes it look like a raised grain effect.  Pretty cool when you see it in real life.

Still don't know if I'll go semi-gloss, gloss, or matte for the clear coat mind you...

[CrackedPepper]

Man that is really coming along nicely - can't wait to see the finished product. 

 

[GratefullyRedd]

it'd be cool if you could get her to do some swirly design for the pickguard

 

[Death by Uberschall]

Loving the stealth black look  :headbang1:

The artwork will look better with a matte or satin finish (gonna be harder to see it if you mix Gloss and bright lights), thats what I did on my bass anyways, and I think it looks pretty killer

You had the glacier and volcano ones right?

Yea, I think it looks pretty damn hot like it is.  I would agree to leave it at this degree of gloss.  :headbang1:
Also, quit forcing your artist to hide behind her artwork.  :laughing7:
Let's see the real deal...

So is she painting her bass too?  What happened to that sunflower design?

She's concentrating on this project first - then she'll get going on the bass I'm sure.  Especially since I plan to build it up this weekend and drop the thing off at her house!
