Sounds silly I know, but how many thousand hoiurs am i gonna spend leaning on this creaky piece of plastic schit. I'd rather be feeling and looking at some nice wood anyday. Anybody done it?

450!!!!! wow pricy, one can do this under 45$, it be nice though if it could include somekind of sound damping material, as the sound from the hd & fan is too loud imo especially in a dead quiet pro studio, any tips on damping the 4k noise?

It`s cool. I wouldn`t be jealous if you got the money to burn blaze your joint like a lowrider so when you step out everyone`s ooggling your ****. However, the opposite may happen and you may start covering it all the time and getting scare that your friends may touch it or get to close. Thinking of all the money you invested in the body and less about breaking it in and making music. But all the rock and funk stars customize their instruments I would too. :D

I would get a pro designer with a guarentee to refit it though!!!! You get what you pay for.

$450?!?! What a ripoff!

By boywithpez007 Mon Jun 07, 2004 12:35 am
hahaha I've never seen that site b4!!! how funny, the 3k's and da 4k's look pretty cool hotted up and customized but the poor 4k cant shed its boring blue screen and looks kinda wierd if u try and change the color of the body.

If anything Id just repaint it white and change the color of the lettering, I hate that fkn purple and yellow crap.....

but yeah all Forats prices are a little steep, wonder if they would just sell the lettering decal sticker things. Looks kinda strange with the wood I think.
