Hi Gav,
looks like a nice 5 string Bass. Two piece body. I always like as few pieces in the body as possible. and it's nothing to do with strat cracks. I think that it is a matter of symetry. That Bass would look nice in Cherry Red base coat with a clear coat on the neck. I think that often when you colour the neck the same colour as the body it often takes away from drama of the instrument.
Cheers PK
Synopsis of this build;
I think I have reached the sit and wait a week point in this build I've got 5 coats of clear Wudtone Gloss with Age tint, and I don't think it is going to gain anything from adding more coats. The Wudtone Butterscotch base is five coats with a Wudtone Gold highlight on top of a very thin rubbing of Pine Timbermate. After the Timbermate the body was rubbed back with 240 grit.
Additional light rub backs were with fine and superfine steelwool.
The neck has been coated with white shellac in order to mainatain the asthetics of the clean white maple.
The fingerboard is coated with several layers of Brehlen Fingerboard oil. It's basically Lemon oil
The decal is a Laser printed on a slde on water transfer base.
The fittings will be gold bridge, tuners and scratch plate screws. Pickups are two Black Rails, and one open stud Black humbucker sitting on a Cinamon Pearloid scratch plate. Tone and Volume knobs are Golden Amber Gibson style. I still need to source a suitable rear scratch plate. black or Golden Mirror seems to be the only things avaiable. But as I am out of work and out of money, plain black could be the way it has to go, as they are cheap as.
Cheers PK
