Never dry your basses on high heat, man.

Ok, I gotta ask... What's going on here? At first I thought it was Photoshop trickery, but now I'm thinking you made these models... or am I barking up the wrong tree completely?! Please educate me... and let me know if I can get some too. :-)

Sorry about the confusion! :)
These are hand made miniatures from my basses!
I met this guy from Brazil who hand made them and asked him if he would shop them and he said yes!
Basically you send him a few pics of your bass and he does the work!
It is actually VERY cheap.
Once I get home I'll post a few more pics at the gallery and a link to his page so you guys can see his work and possibly order a miniature of your favorite bass!

That's really cool, man. What an incredibly good idea.

Ought to get one made for each of my 8 guitars/basses. That way, according to which of my two kids is better, they'll get either the real deal or the mini-representative. Ha ha, They'd probably have to contest the will because both would want the minis rather than the real thing...
