I was going to do my ST-1 in Cherry Flamenco with a white Pearloid guard, how does the CF look on basswood DB????

It would look just like Robins Strat but slightly deeper red, would look orsome
When I get time to sand my PBH-4 bass I'm doing that in CF so I'll post some photos of that, that is basswood

Quick update - rosy goodness continues - but have been flat out the last few nights on frets, frets and practicing for a friend's 40th... Looks like one of DB's Katana's wouldn't go astray, or at least one of those little bones...
Now that the frets are done, I've done the first coat of the neck, with more to come over the weekend...
Body - not sure when to stop - want to look at the guitar in real sunlight, but the colour's beautiful now and I'm torn - do I continue and see where it goes (still got 1/2 a bottle of base to go), or do I get into the top coats so I can crank this bad boy up and give it a whirl...
Was looking around at pickups - as much to see what's out there as for any other reason - anyone heard of or used Entwistle pickups? http://www.entwistlepickups.com/pickup.php?puid=PBX
Seem cheap, but with good wraps...

Looking good! I'd keep going with the stain an cherry it right up.
RE: the Entwhistle P-ups, I've never used them but the people who do seem to rave about them. I've got a fretless P-bass on the bench at the moment which needs all new electrics and these might be a good option. If you do use them i'd appreciate knowing how they go.
Will do...

Wow Brendan, that is a sexy looking bass already!!! It has my P bass vibes going!!!!
DB, can you please keep the secret DB blood recipe that Brendan has, I would love to have that colour going on with my next Strat!
Re the Entwistle pickups- do those prices strike you as incredibly inexpensive? Thirteen quid for a P bass pickup?? Nine quid for a Jazz pickup??
Sure there's an exchange rate to contend with, but I am tempted to give them a shot.

That's what I was thinking - they do seem cheap, but those that use them seem happy...

I think I might be coming around to steal that Bass, Brendan......
Seriously though, you have nailed it! If it was me I would be thinking about starting the top coats now.
Well done!
