Nice kit, mate. The flaming looks fantastic. Can't wait to see how it goes. My Dad is a bit of a Beatles fan, and I'd thought of doing one of these for his birthday (he's 65 in November).
You should get a decal done up for the headstock that simply says, "Precious".
Cut back the top to leave the flame, ready for the application of sunbursty Wudtone, when the mailman sees fit to deliver it.
Also used up the last of the Hot Auburn on the back- undecided yet whether this gets the sunburst treatment.
And finally, put on first coat of neck top coat on the neck.

looking good bassguy, I think the cut back hot auburn should pop the grain and look sweet with the burning sun over it. Tell the postman you need the wudtone delivered Friday for the weekend !
So only one hot auburn coat on the neck ? looks deep enough the colour
Yes, happy with the faux-mahogany look the neck has. Was toying with giving it a sunburst look as well, but common sense prevailed... ;)
so is the headstock been stained ? haven't seen a pic, do you mean you were going to burst the headstock ? you should, it will really compliment the burst on the cap !
No, I have sprayed the headstock jet black, as per the old Höfner basses. I will get a decal made in Höfner style script that says Davis (being Gollum's real name) and inlay a MOP bass clef into it.
sounds like a good plan bassguy !
Neck is finished. All that's missing is the MOP bass clef inlay, and that can wait until after the move.

Great job on the frets bassguy! Interested to see what the inlay looks like.
cheers,
Gav.
Looking great E! Noice job on it all - I'm sure the Gollum will love it!
