That's mine, that is!!!
I cant wait to see it finished. I am really holding back on the urge to order one of Alan's jazz basses now, as if I did, I wouldnt have the next wait to look forward to (if you see what I mean!)

SOM
I will pore fill with west systems epoxy which will harden the redwood then finish with acid catalysed lacquer although I am thinking of moving to polyurethane if I can get the safety gear sorted out. |
