    This is the closest to what I want so far, but still a little Dark, that's why I thought some kind of Bleaching or lightening of the timber might help.

    The grain is perfect as long as I can get the base colour. Just a little lighter would be perfect. My other concern is that if I get it too light it might come out Pink.

    And we don't want that do we Fellas.....

    Edit: so I trolled all the Build Diaries to see how Waz' Bass was done but I was (pun intended) unable to find it to pick his brains.

    Maybe my eyes are just painted on.......
    any chance of a link or a rundown on what you used and how you went about it.
    I reckon it's a very good starting point and if I go Basswood I might get that slightly brighter colour I'm after. (maybe I can get Adam to send me the "whitest one he can find).....
