EX-1L: Stevies 21st pressie "Magellan"

[Bass Guy]

Project #2 is up and running. The neck fit is spot on and all the pre-drilling is done.

There's a couple of visible gluespots, but you will see in the photo the instruments of torture I will subject the glue to.... He he he hee.... You will also see the Deadly Sinner (7string) sulking in the corner after its sanding...

Haha, yeah! Elliot, those brushes sure will do the work!

[Brendan]

Well worth the $3.50 or so for them...

What colour for the EX?

[Bass Guy]

Yes, the brushes did the job very well...although I may have left a few "rustic" gouges in the body. More sanding should take care of it, right?

As far as colour goes, I am awaiting word on the availability of Amaranthine... Stevie the birthday boy is apparently a nutter for Purple... DB, do you have any news on it?

[keloooe]

For the $3 I spent on them, they are damn awesome!!!!

[dingobass]

Fear not, good friends, the Aramanthine is coming.
Hopefully it should get here in a couple of weeks so keep sanding those glue spots!

[Brendan]

More time to sand, sand, sand. Surely with all these muso's someone can come up with an Ode to DB that has as a chorus "Sand, sand, sand and then sand again".

First coat of Wudtone Original Vintage Yellow neck base coat. I'd forgotten just how impressive this stuff is.

The third photo will show the difference between stained and unstained woods. Remember, this is coat #1!

Definitely a great colour... but it's a set neck, right? Be careful with the Wudtone on the neck heel otherwise you'll have trouble when it comes to glueing the neck in. Or, does it just look that way in the pics?

[dingobass]

Well spotted Weirdy! Bassguy, you will need to sand that neck heel with 80 grit to get rid of the Wudtone and leave a good tooth for the glue to grab onto..
