SimonHodson Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I did have a thread ages ago, but i can't seem to find it so I thought I'd just make a new one. After about a year of building on and off i finally got around to finishing my first bass. It's Mahogany body, Seymour Duncan pickups, Gotoh hardware and a pre-made neck that I bought from luthierssupplies.com.au The finish is just danish oil, didn't wanna risk anything too complicated. Sorry that the pictures aren't great, but it's a toasty 41 degrees outside (think that's about 106 for you Americans) and I didn't feel like hanging around It still needs a knob, and whats the easiest way to do a headstock logo?

dpm99 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That mahogany looks really nice. The Danish Oil is really working for you. And the easier way to do a headstock logo is to hire someone to do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al heeley Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 And the easier way to do a headstock logo is to hire someone to do it for you. Very nice, classy bass. Don't listen to dpm, get yourself some ink-jet printable water-slide decal computer paper (eg: crafty Computer paper dot co dot uk sells it) and print your own. Much easier and cheaper than hiring extra staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hey, I'm not recommending that course of action. I just answered his question. He asked for the easiest way to do a headstock logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foil1more Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I used a metallic sharpie on tru-oil. As long as you have a smooth surface to write on it will work. You can also finish over it to protect it. I used tru-oil and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadovfor Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 There's a logo tutorial at the PG home page: Jehle's logo tutorial Using much the same principles as you'll find in the tutorial, this is a logo I did for my daughter using water slide decal paper. If you do a search on water slide decals (here and on the net) I'm sure you'll find a bunch of information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonHodson Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks for the kind words all, I'll have a look into that paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
