hey guys,
Finally decided on a trans-black finish for this bass. Might also go with a black pickguard and control cover. The Colortone black went on pretty quickly, and I made sure it wasn't "too" black by drawing some back out with a clean wet rag but leaving colour in the grain. Not a bad way to pop all things considered. I got close to what I was looking for. I'm half tempted to do a black burst around the edge with my airbrush, but I'm still considering it. I've got a few coats of acrylic on there at the moment and she's finally starting to shine up. Once I've got enough coats on I'll trial pickguard combinations too see what looks good.
cheers,
Gav.
