Top coats started. Photo of the back of the neck - using Vintage Amber stain / top coats. Photos of the body just show red, though even without the topcoats, there's a bit of semi gloss around.

Quick update - top coats going well - was waiting a week between coats (crossed lines) and rethought it and am now taking a couple of days between top coats. Keeping them thin, but may give it a couple of more coats before calling it quits... Lack of other things to do, so have shielded the back of the pickguard. Waiting on the top coats to dry to do the cavity. Also drilled out the ground wire hole to the bridge to allow me to replace the supplied wire with a shielded one that was a few mm thicker - found a long 1/8" bit that is a poofteenth bigger than the 3mm wire, but just enough to go through nicely. No reason for this bass to be anything but silent.

Classic looking P Bass mate.

Disaster!
All good to start to put it together - had taken the body off my painting pole and put it down for a minute to do something and now I know bodies can bounce... Unfortunately on the face of all places... :x
Have sanded back most of the damage and started to apply Wudtone again - out of deep base, so will try the areas with the base coat only. So far it's looking ... better... Will see what a couple more coats will do. Unfortunately had to learn this lesson the hard way...

Ouch, there's nothing worse than seeing all your hard work undone in the blink of an eye. Heartbreaking
As frustrating as it is when you're so close to finishing it, I'm sure it will clean up ok with more time and patience... and, bright side, now you'll be able to take on the Pest in the August GOTM.
Scott.
