That is one sweet-ass guitar man...
The case is pretty schnazzy too

I have 2 basses - one is a Squier P-Bass - adjusted truss rods inside the neck and slinky strings make it a nice sounding and easy-playing bass.

I also re-sprayed it, metallic blue - to - metallic green

Not a bad paint job for a weekends work in my garage with some car spray cans

I also have a Crafter (Cruiser) Bass, I haven't got any pictures of that though... I haven't played bass seriously in about a year though, last time I played seriously was for a charity gig.

Not at all! Did you at least clear-coat it though? Seems like it would feel rough and nasty.

I did indeed, I stripped and sanded the guitar down, primed it, sprayed the colour and masked an area off at the back where my band signed it (in rather ridiculous ways I might add - there's a thread on here somewhere with more pictures). Once it had been signed I lacquered it with clear-coat, I think I did 6 coats in all, a fine rub down in between each coat.
