Make it look all rustic and horse brassy. Convince Mrs. B that it is a garden ornament.

She needs no convincing. The dining room is currently bass making central and she is resigned to that fact

It’s darkening up nicely now..

Would look cool with heavy brass hardweat and black plastics.

Final coats on today, including a slurry sand - so hopefully it’s now a case of leave to dry then wax it ready for a build up:

Why?

The PJ pickup combination is the worse possible permutation of classic Fender bass pickups. P, yes. JJ, yes. Even PP would be preferable.

Waxed and dried.

Neck is ON....!

So, left breasty dumpling, or right breasty dumpling?

Er, I mean cream, or black...

Black

@GSPBASSES - see - this one just needs a pickup and some soldering..!

Right breasty dumpling is winning so far!

I have no desire whatsoever to see that.

How did you find slurrying that final stained coat? 

Lot of folks avoid slurrying a stained surface, but - as long as you don't overdo it - I find it works very well
