This guy has your white bass covers. He lives close to me, do you want me to go beat him up and take them?

That needs a tort or black pickguard.

i have never seen a burst mustang bass with a matched stock.
that is really cool looking.

I think that might actually be yellowed nitro.

After Fender switched to poly finishes in the late60's/early 70's, they found that their decals that they were using at the time wouldn't work with the new finishes. So they decided to just finish the face of the headstock in nitro, which worked well with their decals, the rest of the neck and body being done in poly.

I have a 70's p-bass that's made in this way. The face of the headstock has yellowed so much that it is the colour of an egg yolk. But the rest of the neck, with it's poly finish, looks as pale a a new MIM standard maple neck.

thats how this one fellows anniversery strat is.
i didn;t really look at the pics very hard.
so you are probly right.
i knew that they used a combo of poly and nitro, but i did not realize it was becuz of the decals.
i love this site just for the fact that the people here are fucking SMART!

ohh you didn't know? yo' ass betta call some boooooodaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!




i just got sick of watching rediculous auctions of basses with white pickup covers so i fucking painted mine white last week one night when it was mega hot out and i couldn't sleep.

ive been playing the thing no stop pretty much all week. (to hilary's totaly enjoyment)


the paint is actually staying on!!! i got a tiny chip when i stuffed the pickups thru the pickguard hole when i first put them on but thats it. the paint hasn't come off from regular playing wear and tear.


i used Krylon Fusion paint for plastic. Dover White. its kinda off white, they had one that was more white but im glad i got what i did, it matches the Bronco perfect


also i put bass VI strings on it!!!!! .032 - .085 fuckin really skinny and easy to play like a guitar

Oh shit I must have missed that, good job. I guess I will spare the guy in the ebay auction.
