Hi all, my names Ed. I just joined up to leech some knowledge off you lovely people.
Im about to build an RC4 kit I bought from Pitbull (Rickenbacker bass). This is my 2nd build, earlier this year I finished an LP. Heres a couple pics of my finished LP

Basically, I had a go at doing a stained finish with woodgrain still visible/etc, it didnt work because I used some crap varnish from paint shop. I tried to sand the stuff off then went through the veneer.... I snapped and painted it instead. This time I want to get it right.
I'll make a thread for the RC4 build. I hope to get it built over the next week or so. :)
