I started learning the bass guitar when I was in secondary 3 , or 15 years old. Back then I have dreamt of being in a rock band and performing in front of a large number of people. My friends were forming a band but they lack a Bassist so I decided to join them by first learning how to play the bassssssssss. As time goes by I started to feel bored about how my bass looks like , just a plain colour. I was inspired by one of my favorite bassist , Michael Peter Balzary , better known as Flea, of a Funk rock band called the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He is an amazing bassist , rank 3rd in the word. His basses are mostly customed finish with lots of colours. I wanted my bass to look colourful and I got inspiration from his Spin Art bass that he collaborated with artist Damien Hirst for charity. The bass was colourful and I really love it , unfortunately , I was not able to do the Spin Art finish , thus i went with pasting different kinds of stickers on it to make it look colouful. They were actually not stickers , I used my old magazines and cut out different portions that I like , paste it with a double-sided tape and then paste it on the bass. So after a few hours of cutting and pasting , my "customed" bass was finally completed. I would love to try the Spin Art finish on a new bass that I get in the future ( hopefully I won't screw it up)
