The light amber tint sounds like a possible solution if you have a color bleed problem. It would look good regardless.

yeah, I'll try a little bleach and see how that works.  I've already got a cherry 68, so I probably won't go that route.

I was hoping you would take a shine to that.  Very cool looking.

Yep, I've developed this bad GAS for white/cream basses lately and this is probably the route I'm going to go with this one since it's totally disassembled and stripped for the most part.

That would certainly look good. I take it you've dropped the idea of a natural finish.

Yep, the natural finish has become the second choice.

Got the black binding on today.  Will trim it up tomorrow and finish sanding for paint!

Any in-progress pics would be great, even if it's just a close-up of the binding.

Wow!

Keef Richards played a white 335 a lot lately, but he gave it away. See this new Martin Scorcese Stones movie.
