Having a crack at my first build.
Always wanted a Fender Jazz Bass but cannot justify having one in my collection for aesthetics alone so hoping to build my dream one on a budget.
Went into this with a plan which I threw out the window as soon as I laid eyes on the American Ash woodgrain.
So now I’m just doing a light stain with Feast Watson Prooftint Maple heavily diluted to soak into the grain and enhance it. Finish with be Feast Watson Wipe-On Poly.
Added gold hardware, a bone nut and a 3-ply black scratch plate but otherwise sticking with the cheap electrics, etc. to keep costs down.
Never done this before so here’s hoping it works out!
