I know it isn't very traditional, but it will be a little more unique hopefully.

Headstock shape looks good and the body colour coming along nicley

Nice progress Cade. Original headstock shape should look cool when assembled. Stick with the stain coats should become more bright red

Looking good Cade nice to see an original headstock

It's very hard to drift away from those traditional styles with something as iconic as the JB, but I think you've pulled it off with this. It's very different, very personal and kind of aggressive; the more I look at it the more I like it to be honest. Fantastic work there
Cade.

Thanks very much for the positive feedback guys.
FrankenWashie I'm a big fan of heavy rock and Metal so an aggressive bass is an ideal outcome! ;)

Nice! Glad it's coming to fruition for you!

Gotta agree with how good the headstock looks.

Colour should come alive with a couple of intensifier coats.

Thanks Wazkelly. I've only put one coat of DT on both neck and body so far. After 4-5 days now the body is looking quite good and the colour has settled in nicely so I might start on the intensifier this weekend, but the neck will definitely need another stain coat to brighten up. It's looking a little washed out next to the body.
