First Build - JBA-4

[Jetblack]

Hi Simon,
Yes, I just worked out the best way to go is get a build diary setup, cheers. That black in the picture is exactly what I'm looking for, wasn't too excited about smoothing the grain out too much and expecting a gloss finish, that one looks sensational would be very happy with a finish like that. As soon as my kit arrives I will start the build diary, thanks for the tips, appreciated. Cheers.

It is definitely possible to get a glossy finish on an ash body, but it does require effort. And patience. I did a black high gloss finish on my last bass build, a P-style, and it looks pretty good. But I nearly went mad with the preparation. Will aim to get a pic up tomorrow.
