Well I bit the bullet and secured a lovely TL-1 kit, and immediately got cracking on the neck. To mynchagrin I note that DingoBass is offering to shape headstocks. Wish I had known that before I nearly butchered mine with a rogue jigsaw.... :D

Once shaped, I hit the neck with base coats of Wudtone Orig Vint Yellow. The headstock immediately revealed a lovely knurl in the maple, and thenfinish has accentuated this beautifully. I can't tell you how impressed I am with the Wudtone stuff. So easy and such great results.

Once my Dark Amber pack arrived, I sanded the body and hit it with the first coat. Not too bad, but it will only get better once cured.

Hopefully these photos will load up otherwise I will add them n later.

Cheers,

Bass Guy
