Looks like they would fit into a bass for Doug Wimbish from the Living Colour days.

They are called "Clown Vomit" and are still available as an option. Do a search on this site and you'll get more info.

I saw a particularly amusing documentary the other day called "Who the F*** is Jackson Pollack?," if you are into that sort of thing. I love his paintings, although I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Jackson Pollack

I remember as a kid I got given a christmas gift by my godmother, and it was a craft paint kit. Essentially it was a bucket that would swirl the water in it, and various fast setting acrylic paints which you pour into the bucket of swirling water - and ostensibly you dipped whatever you wanted into the bucket of swirling water with swirling acrylics, instant Pollock coating on whatever you cared to dip.

I see these pickups closed very high, highest I've seen for a used pair of J type activators.

...marbling/ebru one of the highest arts in my eyes.
suminagashi is the japanese style of doing that with inks...

...there's a couple of neat vids on youtube I've seen.

The dutch had some masters hundreds of years ago...no acrylics back then tho.
