Hi All
First post and first build diary.
Last July I ordered a DJZ-4 kit. I don’t have any kind of woodworking skills and I can barely do a basic setup of my basses so this kit was an opportunity to maybe learn something and tinker around.
After shaping the headstock and doing a lot of sanding I got stuck with how to finish the body. I stumbled on a product called Rubio monocoat. I used the “pure” color for both the body and the neck. It was easy to apply, one single application that cured in less than a week. A little more sanding and I am very pleased with the result.
I did a quick assembly and this how it looks now:
Next: needs some work on the fingerboard and I may replace the hardware with black hardware. But it already has a great voice and it’s a lot of fun to play.
