Acid's a hell of a drug.collin wrote:what's up with the horrible Beatle guitar paint jobs?
I think McCartney sanded it off because it was flaking off. Rocky is my least favorite of the three but still cool. The Lennon "Fool" is trippy. I like all three.collin wrote:I'm a fan of the paint work.... but not the paint scheme. There's a reason Macca sanded it off back in the day.
(note - what's up with the horrible Beatle guitar paint jobs? Rocky looks like a 2nd grader painted it and John's J160E looked stupid IMO. Clapton & Jack Bruce's Fool-painted guitars were pretty cool though...)
I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid on that one. Looks like a kid painted it.kennyhowes wrote:The J160E by The Fool is AWESOME! whatchootalkinboutwillis
Not at all. McCartney's looks more like a kid painted it. Colin, have you ever seen the back?collin wrote:I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid on that one. Looks like a kid painted it.kennyhowes wrote:The J160E by The Fool is AWESOME! whatchootalkinboutwillis

What you guys said; who paints a perfectly lovely Daphne Blue Strat with multiple shades of poster paint? Someone who's extremely high. . .deaconblues wrote:Acid's a hell of a drug.collin wrote:what's up with the horrible Beatle guitar paint jobs?
I agree, I find them pretty awful as well. Especially the Rocky Strat -- ugh.
It's silver.deaconblues wrote:It's a very nice paintjob (if you're into that kinda stuff), just don't understand why people always paint the bass horn blue instead of silver.
Good job, Ronn!!!iamthebassman wrote:When I painted my 4001S-LH 15 years ago I used teal as I wasn't looking to copy McCartney's exactly but to just do something similar. I like teal, had a can of it sitting around, so that's what I went with.
There are Asian copies with MY paint job, both full-size basses and miniatures. It's not just the teal but a couple other "stylistic anomalies" that show they copied my bass, not McCartney's. I'm thinking about getting one!
