[Wayniac]

NICE work so far!
What type of paint remover did you use?

Well, I wasn't sure if he wanted me yappin about his generosity (some people are weird like that) but, it doesn't seem to be an issue with him..so
Mark gave this to me (mm2002) which was super duper ultra cool of him.

Wayniac,
I used Crown Liquid Paint and Varnish Remover. We got it at Lowes. Worked great for this.

WOW looks like its gonna be a sweet bass. Is there any kind of defining markings or anything on the neck heal? If i had to guess it looks like a early 90s USA fender jazz. Or a Japanese 76 reissue with those block inlays but the tuners are wrong. so who knows. It ould be a copy. Still looks cool. As for the pain on the body with th 2 color burst on the treble side. Yes Company's did that under the pickguard to keep costs down. Fender did it too for a while.

Geddy Lee's signature model neck is maple with black blocks.

That neck looks 100 times better already. Good luck with the rest of the project.

Bob Ross was a Vietnam vet and a sniper IIRC.He would always say "Put lots of leaves on the trees that way no one will see you hiding there".He was a very cool guy.RIP Bob.

Yes it does bit alos has a badass bridge. It could be a GL neck on a AMerican std body.

There is nothing in the neck pocket or on the neck heel. That's what made me think it was a copy..but the headstock is much too Fender..the Suzuki one has more "bend" to it..hard to describe.
I'll have pics up of the finished product soon..

I was guessing it was one of Fett's $99 specials

I believe it also has fretboard binding.

I believe it also has fretboard binding.

Plus his is black with a white guard.
Soooo wassup sis? Is it done yet? We need pics!

[24seven]

Gorgeous neck now it has been stripped.
Prior, sorry but it was an amateur job why for the life of me they do it i don't know, if you can't paint leave well alone.
