I had a friend of mine do some wood burning on it then I stained it with five deferent shades of stain. I hope to have it back together in a week or two.

Nice, is that a Fender Precision Delux? I play a Fender Precision 4string, and I have a Squire MB5 5 string. The Squire is pretty nice for a cheep bass, Iwas suprised of the quality, and it 's about 1/4 lighter than my Fender.But I still love my Fender. . Did you do the art work free hand? It looks really cool. You have to show us a picture when it's done.

It's a Fender P. you can see a small pick of what it use to look like here Balin Twine I bought a Washburn Force four a while back and I cant put it down,it blows my stock Fender away so I'm going to totally customize my P. I've had it to long to just put it in the closet.
The art work was done by a friend of mine and yes it was all done free hand he makes it look easy but I cant even trace as good as he can draw.

We tried to blow torch finish the back, we failed miserably,it sounded like a good idea at the time it just didn't work out.

that's rock-n-roll. You don't see that much anymore.

Maybe you can get it into the spinal tap sequel! Very Happy Nice job
