How do I get back to Kansas?
Sir,
So I bought an Es335 Bass kit. it's beautiful. All of the pieces fit together well. It's really a great job. And I'm really excited about putting it all together and playing it! I wanted to stain it rather than paint it to preserve the natural tone of the wood. I chose a color that I thought I'd like from Wudtone - Surfer Girl - which in the pictures looks like a pair of faded well worn blue jeans but turns out to be greenish in color. I sanded down with 220 grit, wiped down and applied a base coat. ...It's just ugly! I'm convinced I didn't do something right but before I throw in the stained towel and paint it white I wanted to know if there's any way to sand back down to the flame-top and start over. I'm also convinced now that I'm all musician and no luthier! I've learned my lesson! Please Mr. Wizard! Get me back to Kansas! If that's not possible can I seal the stain and paint over it without bleed thru?
