It is simpler, but there is something about having the WHOLE guitar set up like this that makes it more worthwhile to me.

american flag 4003 bass ...

Could you picture what that would look like on a laredo?

I'd be interested in seeing a Canadian version, although I have a feeling there's not enough going on with our flag. Just some red, white, and a maple leaf.

Turn the headstock into one like on one of Bootsy's basses!

D'oh! Double post. :-\
edit - yeah, that might work!

ahhh you mean something like this ...
Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2004 5:03 pm
Yep, that's it..Do the headstock too....I may have to acquire a laredo...
Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2004 5:28 pm
I wasn't sure what to do with the headstock ... maybe blue field with white stars???

How about the red and white stripes?

Jeff--that's it. Other than the headstock--run the red and white stripes through it, sort of as you've done on the body.
On the back--for me, anyway, it must be an eagle on a Blueboy background. Who could do a good job with the paint?

Alrighty then!!!! I strung the bass up last night and all I can say is....OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH.
This is the reason why I liked this bass in stripped form....It is really solid now....I will post more pics after I get the pickguard shield made with the matching lines...
