    Meet the "Low Bee."

    I have named all of my creations...questionable or otherwise. Seeing as this is a five string bass....ladies and gentlemen I introduce to you "The Low Bee."

    I have tried the finishing using the Aldi air compressor and touch up spray gun......water for practice and then some water based poly for an attempt on a piece of pine and a piece of laminate.

    Sadly my skills suck and I like the wood in this guitar too much...maybe over a stain.

    So Tru-Oil has won the battle.

    Here is the body with six coats and only one light scuff with 00 steel wool...used the air compressor to clean it up afterwards.

    I am about ready to give the body a hit with 400 grit wet and dry using Tru oil as the wet.

    The neck has the same...six coats with a light scuff with 00 steel wool. But, I have now attached the water slide decals, and I am going to put at least another six coats over them before I scuff again....or even wet sand.

    NOTHING FL4SH is my web presence.....I have a facebook page...youtube channel...and more to come.

    I will do things and talk about them....but nothing flash....it will be a positive presence only....no negatives and no finger pointing and derogatory comments.

    I have a couple of videos in editing now....and some ideas for quick facebook posts.

    So here is the guitar as she stands right now....."The Low Bee."
