I like it a lot.
On my Ash J Bass I reckon the grain contours in the finish makes it look better than if everything was dead flat as that helps to highlight the unique grain of that timber species.

Nice finish Chuck. My JBA4 is exactly the same one of my fav finishes and very organic feeling

I really do hate shielding - just when you think you've nailed it you start finding multiple places you've missed. What's more, I've just realised I put the bridge posts in without the ground wire (see that sad little empty ground hole). I'll now have to drill a new hole into the trem cavity and ground from there *sigh*

Hey Chuck, there are methods to remove the bridge bush to get your earth wire in. I used a drill press if you have access to one. There are worse parts of a build than shielding - wiring and sanding for me haha
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup

You may be able to grip the bush screwed into the body insert vertically with a pair of pliers and pull hard

with a bolt of the right size and a few bits of scrap steel you could make up a puller, but by then you could have just drilled a hole in to the trem cavity :P

Nice one! I'll check up at the local shops for a cherry pipper, but if no luck I'll take the Dedman approach and just drill another hole!Originally Posted by andrewdosborne
