"Projekt" Bass under construction...

Post by P-Brain »

This started out as a $20 Craigslist find. Its a Bently Series 10 body with an Ebay Eden Chinese neck.
I added a set of no-name tuners and a bridge, also from ebay.
It still has the original pups, going to redo all the electronics in the future.
It's set up as BEAD tuning using the bottom 4 strings from a set of D'addario chrome flats.
Paint is Rustoleum color-change Galaxy Blue with about 20 coats of clear.
Besides the crappy electronics, it plays pretty good, a real bottom dweller but with "bite".

Love that finish. Is it blue? Purple? Pink?

For $20, I'd say that's a steal.

It's a chameleon color-shift paint from rustoleum. Spray can, depending on the light direction, it's blue... purple...red...gold...pink.
The guy I got it from was going to make it into a cigar box guitar if it didn't sell.

Very cool, and dig the paint! I'll have to use that on something, anything!
