Six String Spalted Maple Bass

Finally finished another Bass Build. A 6 String Spalted Maple. I thought getting the action right was going to be the death of me...But i fixed it with two layers of ice cream sticks !!! Haha.

nice one Metalrulz, that's got to be the shortest build diary I have seen ! Wow you scored a wicked veneer and the headstock looks unreal. What have you done with the side is that a faux pas binding ? Love the wooden control knobs. Also did you forget to put a clear coat on the small part of the neck heel at the end of the fingerboard ?
I've built one of these and installed an active pre-amp and love it !

Thank you WokkaBoy. The black binding is just done with a sharpie pen and i did not forget to clear coat the body and neck heel as i love the extremely smooth finish of the spalted maple. I know it will get dirty with finger prints and sweat marks, but that will just add character to the already virus ridden wood.
