I've done a fair amount of wood finish through my life, but I'm a bit intimidated by the 335 bass kit I have coming to me from Australia. Howdy mates! From Arkansas...
My first thought was to do a sunburst, but I've screwed up some of those. And I don't want to screw this one up. So I'm going mono stain. I've got Colortone Red Mahogany and Vintage Amber on hand. My questions are:
1) Beyond sanding - what prefinish works best with that flame maple (sealer, grain filler, etc)
2) Anybody got an example of a single stain ESB? Everything I've found in google is painted or sunburst...
THANKS! Newbie to the forum, been playing music a long time... as a keyboard player. Gotta play bass in a new country band, want it to look spiffy and I can't ask my guitar playing friends, cuz, you know...
