Cheers Robbie, not bad for a brush finish eh?

[Mikey R]

I thought you can spray the RPC? Brush on, I bet it takes ages to sand out. Im avoiding gloss finishes for that reason - Im way too lazy.

[Simo]

You can spray it, but when you have a small workshop, no spray booth, and it's a cold British winter outside, there's really only one choice... and that's a brush It does take longer but with a good quality lacquer brush it's not too hard going. I also buff by hand, now that does take time, I guess I'm just a sucker for punishment

[funkypenguin]

how far away are you from completing it now?

[Simo]

All being well, it'll be done within a week

I cant beleive i neer seen this bass before! She is beautiful! But i gotta ask, how much is this costing you?

And a question to Simo, do you have a price guide or anything, im sure some of us here after seeing this wouldnt mind you making them a bass.

Thanks no price guide I'm afraid. In fact I'm not currently taking on any commission work, as I want to have some time to concentrate on developing some of more of my designs (although most of the instruments I build this year will be for sale once completed). I'll have a website/blog online shortly, which will document the various stages of my future builds, I'll let everyone know when it's online.
