Building the Guitar!!! Episode 2, "Ice 9" Bass

[TheLivingDeadOne]

Looked like a Frankenstein Bass

[FullThrottler69]

yeah, for a while it really did, ive put like, 3 different coats of paint on it since tho, hahahaha

[texasranga]

thats really cool. i really want to do something like that sometime.

[FullThrottler69]

thanks man, i really advise setting time aside for it, its fun and REALLY rewarding... course mines all different now, black paint, and ive worked in LEDs

[guitarrulesall]

Cats Cradle is a very good book. Cool allusion to it.

[FullThrottler69]

I allude to the God Vai.

[guitarrulesall]

Yeah and there is a book called cats cradle with a chemical in it called ice 9.

[FullThrottler69]

is it a good book?

Plot?

[guitarrulesall]

Vonnegut is a bit eccentric in his writing style but yes it is a very good book. It talks about a scientist who worked on the atomic bomb but also invented the chemical ice 9 which turns water into ice and continues to grow until it runs out of water to freeze. the narrator is interviewing the family of the scientist for the biography.Kinda hard to explain and there are side plots but that is the core.

[FullThrottler69]

sounds cool! i shall have to make glorious readings of it

[Ponymastr]

i have that same bass at :39

[PestVic]

very nice! LOL at 3:33 epic picture

[FullThrottler69]

LOL, thanks man, actually, the guitbox is completely different now, its still got the inlay, but now its black and i built in some LED.S!!

[LeviMan2001]

[FullThrottler69]

[Forbiddenfilms]

sick... 80 is a really good price too...

[FullThrottler69]

I know right, i was shocked... needs new pickups tho... the stock ones are JUNK! LOL!

[hobothemonkey666]

dude........amazing. my fac is the neck. looks amazing........i wish i knew how.

[juangalindo1992]

thankss.!!!

but does it sound nice ?

with the painting .! =D

[FullThrottler69]

yeah, cet i threw away the little nut that holds the two small strings down....so it vibrates something FIERCE, but other than that, outta sight, my man!

[juangalindo1992]

freaking awsome .!!!!!!!!

can you tell me how to paint the neck like you did ?

what kind of paints did you used ?

please tell mee

thats a nice bass.!

[FullThrottler69]

Hey, Thanks!!! ummm, i just used a generic brand of high glosss powder blue spraypaint, and clearcoat spray. the pain is, you have to tape off the entire fretboard, and then draw it out on the tape, and cut out the pieces with an exacto knife...its arduous, but TOTALY worth it. then you can just spray the whole neck, and the paint goes where u want it, 'sall bout control, hope i helped!

[Sakizuma]

can a guitar neck fit on a bass body?? please respond asap

[FullThrottler69]

you dont want to do that, its gonna sound shittty, and you will be unable to tune it properly. for a bass guittar, ya gotta stick with a bass neck. hope that helps!

[Sakizuma]

thanks

[FullThrottler69]

No Prob, homie!

[speed991]

dude thats like fuking awsome can u send me ehat colours u used and stuf because i want to make one of those i've got 5 guitars and i wanna make one i've torn apart 1 start and i have a alder body i can cut into any shape but im stuck for ideas if u've got any send a pic to that to my speed991 account because it wont let me give u my email be cool and could u send that pic of the bass its sick this bass rocks

[FullThrottler69]

Hey, Thanks man! yeah, if truth be told, i originaly wanted the blue parts to be Metallic red, the silver parts to be gold, and everything outlined in black. the colors r just a basic powder blue, and metalic silver, watch out though, i chose to do it to mine, for a melted silver effect, but spraying clearcoat onto the silver will cause the metalic hues to runn

[uprightboy]

how does it sound?

[FullThrottler69]

umm, pretty sweet, i still like my ibanez better, its just the difference in pickups, but this one rocks for jazzy stuff, the ibanez is my Rock bass, ahaha

[metalbeanz]
