Oh man- thanks for the kind words, all! Its back hanging out in the garage now, and once I get it cut/buffed out and assembled, I'll take some better photos of it.
The ReRanch supplies worked out great. I'm really happy with the results, thanks in large part to all the great advice here and on the internetz. I was having nightmares of bad Krylon butcher jobs when I started out, but the rattle cans came through in the end.

@Hollowbody- the wait is gonna be a killer! I purposely avoided playing this in its previous form so I wouldn't get too attached to it. I played it at one rehearsal- just long enough to be convinced that all this effort was justified. I'm really looking forward to gigging it!
@Pilgrim- I had a '69 EB-0 for a while, and had a pelham blue refin in mind for that. It had a nicely repaired p-bass pickup route and neck heel break - would have made a great refin candidate! After a while, though, I realized it was a little too redundant with my EB-3 and sold it to fund some other gear. I still think EBs look great in that color!
