Lozza, sounds like you better disregard my bridge measurement as it may be different for a fretless bass.
Will depend on the nut height by the sounds of it.
I know nothing about a fretless bass so you better wait for instruction from Dr Bass aka DB - hey the initials work !
Woohoo I just clocked 1500 posts !

Congrats on the 1500 Wokka. Quite a milestone.
I think I'm nearly at the end of the easy stuff and starting to get into uncharted territory for me. Reckon it'll be even slower going from here on. And I still haven't finished the Wudtone.
cheers Lozza. I thought about fretless for this build but didn't want to make it any more complicated. I may try a fretless on a 4 string bass.
You will get there Lozza, just plug away and don't rush the build !

Well done Wokka, 10 to go to the big 2000 for me, actually including this one I'm down to single digits! Gulp - We have no lives beyond this forum!/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from wokkaboy on February 18, 2014, 10:52

@ Gav well done mate your posts number looks more like a year date. We obviously don't have a life !
Since Pest has been quiet last part of last year I've overtaken him as 2nd highest poster, I'll never catch you Gav !

@Gav & Wokka: you mean this ain't living?
OK. Put the deep colour coat of Hot Auburn onto the body and man did it soak up. I guess I should have expected the end grain to go a deep colour but it has gone almost black. I'm OK with it but it's lost all the beautiful grain on the sides. Don't think I'll put on another coat, just get stuck into the base coats. And the cavity cover seems to be coming up OK. We'll see.
Hey Lozza I love that darker colour, thats about the shade of my build.
Also love the control cavity cover, what sort of wood is it ?
Should blend in well with the grain of the back.
If you think the sides are too dark then I'd sand it back a little and apply base coats
good luck !

Thanks Brenden and Wokka. Only 10 to go for you Brenden before you join the 1000 club. Pest are you still inviting?/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from Brendan on February 18, 2014, 21:42

Looking good, Lawry.
Wise move - I only did one deep colour coat on my LP. Any more and it would have been way too dark!
