For the Jack, I would rewire to the old Jack if possible

First coats of poly on the Wenge and Elm J bass Paulownia Musicman and Walnut shortscale P bass finished with their satin nitro alongside @HeadlessBassist Walnut J bass that’s is all polished waiting for its graphite neck to arrive.

If @HeadlessBassist decides that it doesn’t work with his pickguard, I will put it up for sale on BC once I’ve cleaned the polish out of the holes lol

As promised…..It really is very glossy lol

I will take some photos….

Potential Walnut control plate finished for @HeadlessBassist walnut jazz bass build. Just waiting for his graphite neck to land and the assembly will begin!!

+1 for Earl Pilanz……got one for my G & L L2000 from him.

I use Liberon Finishing Oil which dries to a hard finish and hand sand it in. Depending how many coats you apply dictates the level of sheen from satin to a good gloss. I then wax, nitro or poly. This wenge and elm is just Liberon and nothing else and was only a couple of coats in at this point.

A day using the spray booth and I think I’m getting better lol. Walnut, Paulownia and Sapele.

Testing out the new branding iron on the walnut short scale with nitro clearcoat.

First coats of satin nitro…..

Routing all finished and a cheeky little Paulowenia inlay on the edge of the neck pocket as a bit of an experiment to compliment the Maple neck.

Today’s projects…..walnut control plate for a jazz bass and final oil hand hand before curing and nitro on the lightweight Stingray. The chatoyance on that bit of Paulownia really does shimmer!
