looks excellent Joe the colour, I missed the update over the weekend. The white pickguard and maple neck really suit the colour. Well done should be a sweet rig when its finished

Nice.. Your Daughter has good taste in colour.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Got her sanded and buffed up today, all done by hand as the clear was a bit to thin for the power buffer, my fingers are still numb.
I sanded back to the under coat is some places, lucky they are on the back but one is one the front. But it still looks good and my daughter (who has now claimed it) said she likes it as it looks like its been played.
Starting to look good now, needs a new nut and my daughter wants "Padawan" in gold for the logo, if I can get one made.
Looks amazing Joe great work

Lovely bass you have done a great job on it and colour scheme is sensational

Damn!!! What a finish, you sure that's not a bought one?? Very nice job.
I think Bargey is right Joe: it's not right to buy a factory guitar and claim you built it!
Super nice job mate, very slick

Finally got her wired up and done, I haven't had a good play yet but it all works. Only problem I had was when I was putting the strap lock on the guitar slipped and put two bigs dings in the paint near the bridge, and being a metallic color the only fix is to repaint so its going to stay, still looks OK though. Was a fun build and thinking about my next one now
