So, a bit ago I had gotten this unknown bass body from an eBay auction:
It's painted chrome and thought it would be a fun idea to have everything on the bass be chrome (everything in the pic is stuff I had on hand, am thinking of getting lipstick pickups for it). First thought that came to mind to do this would be to get an aluminum neck, but those can get quite pricy and the pocket on this body wouldn't easily fit premade ones, requiring shims or filling in the gap (granted, as learned from this thread, I think that's going to have to be the case anyways...). I also have recently gotten a rather beat up and neglected fretless LTD B-10 neck that somewhat matches the shape of the neck pocket. My question would then be how viable is it to paint a fretless board and pour epoxy over it? Considering options, since I have also looked into chrome paint, and that stuff ain't cheap either. Having an opinion that I'm crazy for considering this is also viable.
