Cool, thanks, I just checked it out. You did an excellent job with that restoration. Interesting color choice, I never would have thought to go for that color but I must say, it looks really cool.

Me too!  I'm still learning, but it does get better with practice!

You're welcome.  I was looking for an aged white look and I think it came off pretty good.  It's a great sounding bass, turned out better than I could have hoped.

x2! Looks great!

My only gripe about the bass is the original neck profile is a little beefy.  I was hesitant to take any wood off for fear of causing other issues.  I am gonna pull the frets someday and sand the fret board down a 1/16" or more.  That would help a lot.  Another project to add to my retirement pile!!!!!
