Brendan's new Jazz Bass

Love the bridge cover Brendan, I will definitely have to get one when I break out my jazz bass kit. Are you going to fit a pickup cover too?

cheers,
Gav.

Thanks for the feedback guys - no neck pup cover - find that it gets in the way if I do get to a point where I can slap & pop, so will leave it off on this one. The bridge cover though - I don't find myself playing over the bridge pup often so should be OK.

And yes - the grain is fantastic. As I'm sanding, every time I wet down the body, I'm starting to question whether I should go some colour and pop the grain...

I think it's screaming for some pop + stain but it's up to you mate. That grain is pretty impressive on the upper bout/horn

nice kit your scored Bman. Keen to hear how the Entwistles sound. I got one of these kits in my pile of unbuilt kits, will get around to this one some stage.
You going natural or what stain you going with Bman ?

Wondering if I can do a satin in colourless Dingotone... That would match the VP. That said - seeing all these blue axes going around...

so many options Bman. I did an IB5 with nice grain in wudtone amber and that came out nice. Some sort of light brown may go well, DB could do a lighter version of nullarbor ochre possibly would look the goods.
Saying that I might do mine in nullarbor ochre, will decide when I finally get it out of the box. As its a bigger box than guitar kits its at the bottom of a pile 11 high, with a few not mine haha

So - getting back to a couple of projects - I've thought of revisiting this... Stained it with Dingotone colourless, but was never totally satisfied with the outcome - the dark and light bands and the jaundiced yellow look - well - just not convinced, so I'm considering sanding back and restarting... Was thinking to go dark brown or black - any thoughts?

black with a dark brown racing stripe, gold hardware would have been nice but still works with chrome

pity the colours of the different pieces of ash are so different Bman, would look much better if it was a consistent colour.
Think Dedman's suggestion would look cool.
How did the 3 dams ride go yesterday what time did you ride the 150km ? You must be a bit sore today !

Now that's over you can concentrate on your builds more !

Ebony grain fill and then DT outback sunset for a burnt orange effect with black scratch plate. Presume it will have a rosewood fret board?
