Welcome Marze!
Just found your build diary, I was wondering when you were going to start! :-)
For the burst, I've used the DT black stump on the bass to spike up the walnut a bit and it IS very black!
Try to practice the burst on some wood offcut before you stain the body.
It's not hard but better do a practice run!
Cheers
