My first project

I've just recently finished my first project bass, and i'm fairly happy with my result.

Originally it was a horrible looking bass with a purple body and an ugly white tort shell style pick-guard. Not my cup of tea but the bass was a good price.

I stripped the bass back to the wood and sanded and primed the body. Then i built up the layers of vintage white nitrocellulose lacquer. Then i applied a couple of layers of clear coat lacquer which gave a nice pale yellow finish. Then i ripped out the controls which looked farly tatty and build a 1960/61 fender stack knob style control plate and controls.

Im really proud of how this bass turned out. It seems to even sound nicer now and its taken over as the bass i always pick up first. Its not amazing quality but as my first attempt im more then pleased. Heres a few pics.
