Hey, Chuck...I've got a B12S. Insane bass. The Waterstone I did is like a giant 13 pound Les Paul...you almost want to install an end pin and play it stand-up...

Well I didn't say I had it perfectly formed in my mind yet. We'll leave the details to the wiring guy. :lol: :lol:

Having wanted a lightshow for over a decade now, I have seen the conversions and am hooked. I have reached out the Paul and Dale and have not heard anything back (though I am not the patient person), and was wondering how some of you went about arranging to have one made. Was there an announcement or a list that people signed up on? Did you guys just approach Dale or Paul?

I have a 360/12CW that I don't want anymore, and I now have discovered my dream guitar in a form that is both modern (meaning reliable) and affordable (meaning not $12-25 thousand dollars).

I am already drooling just looking at the pictures!

Does anyone have one that they would be willing to trade/sell/etc?

The history of the LS I bought for my son is quite simple. I purchased a 330 FG from John at Old Boise Guitar a few months ago, sent it to Paul and when it arrived in Seattle it was a LS model. He will arrive home tomorrow from deployment and it will be waiting for him when he arrives.

Thanks again Paul.

Hey Brian, that was a nice 330 John had there (I'm just guessing it's the same one he showed me the last time I was there)! I neat that it became a light show.

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

My favorite thing to do with my lightshow is to not tell anyone in the band that I've got it, then switch to it and wait for just the right moment mid-song and switch the lights on, usually during a solo. :P
