For me (Photoshop semi-lit since 1996), it would take as long to Photoshop as it would to actually do the binding on the bass, LOL.

Would I do it on a 4005WB?

Not on your life! Keep it as a picture in your head, Edgar!

I'm no wiz with Photoshop, but I can draw fancy cartoons on a computer in a hurry. I was too lazy to draw in the checkerboard, but I did bind the headstock for free. Here Ed, print it out, put it under your pillow and maybe while your sleeping a tiny pixie that looks surprisingly like Kenny with wings will leave one at the foot of the bed. Just don't hold your breath as sleep apnea is dangerous.

Todd,

WOW! That is very very close to what I had pictured in my head. So strange seeing it even though it's a drawing.
Looks amazing and now I wish I had one.
Beautiful instrument. Thank you Todd for putting my mind at ease.
