Fender Bass

[rosserx]

Its a 1979 P-Bass I actually bought brand new in 1980, I'm the one and only owner. And no its not for sale!

before:


after:


In Photoshop I made a selection of the bass and feathered it by 1 pixel and created a new layer via copy. Below that I created a gradient layer. Opened Illustrator and created the sun rays and saved as an AI file. Back in Photoshop I placed the sun rays above the gradient layer, Applied a little blur and knocked down the opacity a bit. Imported the the image into Lightroom where I converted it to B&W and tweaked levels and rotated to landscape.

The way you have made the picture black and white gives it more prominence...

Keep up the great work

Nice sun ray effect and a lovely instrument.

I think it looks great. I really like the sun ray background.

Nice work. I had an older model, but I (stupidly) sold it.

Thank you all for your comments. And especially thanks to the admins for not tolerating any...I have a few choice words in my head. I'll just let it go at that.
