I just finished a renovation on my Fender Jazz bass. My son Nicholas (nicholasfrenette.com) did the artwork on the body after I stripped it down to the bare alder. He probably put around 45 hours on it. The theme is Alice Cooper \u201cHalo of Flies\u201d and has the lyrics and a caricature of Alice on the back and some other \u201dKiller\u201d themes on the front including a lyric line from \u201cBe My Lover. Nicholas used India Ink, and it does look like a tattoo job, finished with acrylic lacquer. <\/p>\n

So since the whole thing was torn apart, when I put it back together it got New Dimarzio pickups, Fender string through bridge, Fender \u201870\u2019s nickel open tuners, Fender neck plate, chrome pick up covers, and a new pick guard. It has turned out to be an incredibly unique 1973-ish bass with one of my favourite artists from the 70\u2019s on it. It\u2019s a far cry from the 2004 red with white pick guard it was before\u2026.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
