Very organically natural look happening there and can't wait to see it once the neck has been installed.

Ah yes Waz you've nailed it. This one has had an organic vibe all along and tried to keep it as best I could. I reckon another few weeks of curing to go..

Looks fantastic. Really looking forward to seeing this assembled. I see what you mean about the 'organic' vibe - love the kinda walnut color and grain out the wazoo. She's gonna be a really nice bass man.

cheers,
Gav.

Very natural , this will be a great looking bass

Slow.. but steady progress. Neck fitted out and fretboard polished up. I have obtained some flatwounds for (hopefully) the home run on the weekend. The pup cavities have been stained with some mahogany colortone & finished with a splash of Tru Oil.

And a sensational pickguard from forum member Pablopepper (many thanks appreciated!). This is based on the stock pickguard with correct sized route for the Tonerider jazz pickup and frosted finish so pup cavities not so obvious but grain still shows. Fits like a glove.


and last but not least I cleaned up excess finish and Timbermate around the edges of neck pocket and other routes

wow thats looking super cool Ponch. love the frosted pickguard and the finish is looking sweet, how many coats of naughty oil on ?
This is going to be a fretless beast, makes me want to build one. Forum needs pics as soon as all the bling is on and assembled please !

Cheers Woks. The body itself is actually satin poly but as a few coats have been applied it has a bit of shine to it. The Tru Oil in the cavities was used to make the colortone match the body a bit better

Yes, cannot wait to plug this beasty in. And pics will follow......

good stuff Ponch so you reckon this weekend it could be making noise ?

I reckon so, just wiring to do and a few screws here & there!

sounds good Ponch. Have you got a bass amp or you will be playing though a guitar amp ?
