My quick attempt at simulating an Oceanglo is really awful. I need to use a bitmap sample - my texturing ability is very poor. No pickguard 'though!

Kenny gave me an idea. The graphic background was not scanned but created new.:

When I get a good rendered drawing, I'll redo the Oceanglo and try a green one with oven knobs...

i know its just for fun, but these are horrible!Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2003 11:43 am
I agree!

Horrible? Not a bit. The 'Oceanglo' 4001 should retain the pickguard, though. Keep those ideas coming.

Ed Roman comes to mind when I look at these...

Better?

Sorry for the first one Paul! Besides the awful texture, 4 knobs??
The 3D model will be much nicer...

Thanks for the "virtual reality", John!
I actually like the first Oceanglo than the second, because of the former's more wavy wood figure that simulates the tides and water lines of the ocean.(Finer wood grains would surely be even more real watery.) And yes, 4 black knobs and the neck pickup in the 4001/4003 tradition, please.
The black and white "Psycheglo" is very very nice!
Ooohoo, I want one too!
Actually, the black and white psychelic 1964 RIC catalog cover was designed by no other than Mr. Hall himself as a young graphic artist.
I personnaly don't feel there's any Ed Roman traces in there. These are RIC basses for the younger generation and the new Millenium.

Hey guys,
Click on that 1964 catalog cover, rhythmically swing and groove the image with your mouse!
Really trippy, man...
Imagine a bass in that finish move around on stage and being "vividized" by the colorful stage lightings....
Kenny has an awesome idea there!!!

Hey, I dig the trippy one, but don't know if I could concentrate while playing...
One solution to the "can't choose the color" idea would be a thin, clear, removeable plexglass top. That way you could stick whatever you wanted under it and change it at will.
Nah...

Um, thanks guys...
What would the b&w look like on this guitar?

...because that's why I wanted to see the image in the first place, you see.
If JH did indeed do the graphic, then my compliments!!!
