  If I was going to get flames…don’t they go with a custom paint job on a sports car?…a cheap sports car…a wanna be sports car?
  Other than that I’m in the dark on this one. …flames..hmmm.

  Ahh, a wanna be sports car like a supercharged Nova? Or a wanna be chopped and channeled Mercury?

  Just a different view of the same thing… my basses are set-up and painted per customer order, mostly rockabilly or psychobilly bands (see Reverend Horton Heat, Southern Culture on the Skids). I doubt that any of them will EVER meet a bow, and the only 16th notes to come out of them are from a double-slap.

  I don’t think I’d ever really want to see one on an orchestral stage, as I am also a student of classical music, but in the bright lights and flying panties world of live performance they find their niche.

  Personaly, being a furniture finisher by trade, I would rather see a beautifuly book-matched tiger maple in a deep golden finish, but these guys want what they want.

  I’m also available for Fiero’s… 😉

  I’m actually thinking of velvet coating one, and painting the Last Supper on the back (replacing the disciples with the 3 Stooges, Dog’s Playing Poker, Marilyn Monroe as Mary Magdelane, a clown, and Elvis as Jesus.

  Any taker’s on that one? (Have to figure out where the white tiger fits in though).
