It will be a natural finish.
Gain filling / sealing using Rick Turners Epoxy method.
Followed by clear coats.

After some consideration, I've decided on an oil/wax finish mostly do to ease of application during these humid months.





Just have to cut the pickup hole in the pickguard and assemble.

Thanks.

If anyone is wondering about the bridge placement,
I assure you it is correct.  This bass has a 30" scale length.
Why?  Mostly because I loved the comfort of my Guild and DeArmond Starfires and my Gibson SG's fingerboard I thought why not.

Next up is a 5 string something.
