Beatle Bass HB-4S in Carmine Gypsy

I'd guess Michael that the spalt lines are naturally dark and Tommy scored a very nice cap, but Tommy will have to confirm that

Can I ask, did you use anything before the red to make those Spalt lines pop? they really show up on your beautiful build, wondering if you had to ink it and sand it first, or is that just the natural spalting under the carmine?

Michael, I didn't have to do anything to make those spalt lines pop - only sanded the cap and the Wudtone did the rest.

No trick effects you say?

Hi Tommycng,
This guitar looks great!
Just wondering if you could give me any pointers with setting the neck? I'm about to complete the finish on mine and want to get the neck on. I have been looking through the forum and I can't see anything on setting the necks on this model. Cheers in advance.
