Hi all, I've slowly been collecting odds and sods to make a bitsa Jazz and thoughts have turned to the finish. Going to go with a spray can nitro job, but can't decide on the colour. So I thought I'd see what my bass playing brothers have to say. At the moment, I'm considering a few options. Here we go... Capri Orange with maple neck with blocks - [currently winning in my head!] [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/tumblr_mf7ms6xU1U1rzh2fro1_500_zpsfdcb4194.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/tumblr_mf7ms6xU1U1rzh2fro1_500_zpsfdcb4194.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Ocean Turquoise Metallic with dot and bound rosewood neck & matching headstock [pic is faded LPB, but you get the idea] [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/01585_front_zps7a6d203b.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/01585_front_zps7a6d203b.jpg[/IMG][/URL] One of the Fender pastel colours with a dot and bound rosewood neck and matching headstock [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/f12jb1007full_zpsc8b551b2.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/f12jb1007full_zpsc8b551b2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] This will be my first spray finish, so thinking I may want to avoid the metallic as that can be a bit trickier it would seem. Any advice, tips, do's and don't do's would be appreciated! Cheers folks.

Dot and bound necks and matching headstocks Great bass!

Off the top of my head, the Geddy does, the '75 reissue and the '70's' reissue. Companies like Warmoth can also do custom bodies with 70's pickup spacing.

Aye, she looks a cracker alright! Can't beat a bitsa Jazz. One thing, not sure if the pickups are 70's spacing. If anything, they look even further apart than that. I had a Geddy Lee body [with 70#s spacing] and it didn't look that far between each pup. Might just be my eyes though. Rock it!

As a fan of Weezer, Gibson G-3's and Big Muffs, this is SUPER! Rock on fella!
