[quote name='Mike' post='256410' date='Aug 6 2008, 04:00 PM']WOW - stunning finish! PS Mine is up to 8months![/quote] 8 months, has it been 8 months already or have you been told it'll take 8 months? Did you start a build diary or are you keeping it all under wraps? As I remember, it's a 33" 5 string right? I did promise Jon that I'd not bother him too much, so I'm just leaving him be, plus if it runs for another 3 months or so, I don't have to worry about enjoying myself too much on holiday next month... Cheers, Eude Quote

Tinman Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Nice one BM, looking forward to seeing it in all it's glory mate Pete Quote

I asked him to refinish it as it had come up a little dark for my liking. We're looking at around 3 weeks, I think. Got a picture of the colour, it's fab. [b]Very[/b] red. Quote

There's very little left to do to my bass, can't imagine it's more than a few hours work left. Cheers, Eude Quote
