nice IB-6S build Rupert. It's a pity your photos are letting you down a bit. Try for some photo's in full natural light so we can see it better. The wooden knobs are a nice touch but personally they are a bit too big and the controls look cluttered.
What have you used to fill the fret slots looks like grain filler ? Some thin wood strips or thin white binding would have looked better.

Thanks, The photos don't do this bass justice, but unfortunately its a damp and rainy UK October so I've not been able to get a decent shot with natural light so far. I do agree that the knobs are larger than I would ideally have had them, but I was unable to find a matching set of 5 any smaller.

Ive used mahogany plastic wood to fill the frets and then hand sanded the fretboard to an ultra smooth finish, before treating it with lemon oil.
