60s NR TB restoration
drbassman:
Since Tony asked and maybe one or two of you haven't seen it, here's the finished NR. Scott helped with the pickguard and we're making a correct tailpiece for it, so it will look even better in a few weeks! This is the bass that I had to create an entirely new headstock for. The previous owner misplaced the original! :D

I really like the color on this, but the butterscotch maple one is just so much cooler to me.

The vintage cream from ReRanch is a bit too yellow IMHO, but it's the best there is out there for a faded white look. I'd prefer it toned down a bit, but it still looks pretty good on a true vintage bass. I don't have the patience or skill yet to mix my own paint. Maybe someday I'll go down that road, but I really prefer woodworking to painting anyway!
The see-through butterscotch is a cool color for sure! Love the way it shows off the grain. One day I'll use the regular blonde on a bass, I love that whiter wook as well.

Very nice Dr.

I don't think I've seen it in nearly-completed form. Very nice!
