Here she is, all bound up!  Got some scraping & sanding to do, then we'll pick out some paint as soon as the weather breaks, probably July sometime (just kidding!).   ;)  I'm gonna look for a white with a very slight touch of yellow for a faint aged look.  should be fun!

Very nice EB-2 there Chris.  I've got an all original 1968 heritage cherry already, so I'm only looking for basket cases to fool around with.

Dr.
 Love the choice of color, remember the rules and watch out for the red dye leaching into your color coats, on the other hand Mark would probably really like a pink burst EB-2 ;D

 Seriously, it will look awsome with black binding. Do you still need a ferrule and what size do these take? I think I might have some random Klusons around.

 Mmmmm........PINK Eb2 I could go for that!

 Seriously tho, I'm amazed at the high level of craftsmanship I see you guys (Scott BassVI, Bill and Scott GoT) put out there. Really beautiful work, I sincerly admire your collective talents.

Same here. I can barely install straplocks without screwing something up, so I'm very impressed with the work you guys put into these basses.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys.  It's really just a lot of nerve and lack of fear!  I'll try just about anything at this stage.  I love learning new things and the more I can teach myself, the more I like it.  I have a huge support group in the restoration/refinishing forum and I've been going to school there for a couple years now.  When I retire in a few years, I only plan on playing and building basses for the most part!  It's a good plan.

Uwe, I forgot to mention that I did just buy a 60's tuner and ferrule off eBay the other day.  If it doesn't work, I might ask you to check your parts drawer for me.

As for a pink EB-2, I think it could look good, worn by the right person.  Although I can't imagine HIM with without a TB strapped on!

That is going to look very fine with the black binding. Did you decide on a color (white shade)or a tinted top coat. for a second I thought I would do my Starfire restore white but it snowed again and I said  enough.. Dr. did you look at the pic I sent of the switch? Mike

Yep, it's gonna be white with a hint of yellow for a very slight aged look.  I'm not an Oly White fan and vintage cream is too yellow for the most part.  With a good acrylic primer and top coats, none of the few little red tinted spots will bleed through.

I forgot to get back to you on the switch.  I do that now.  Sorry I forgot but I hang out here mostly these days.
