Same bass? Any additional info on the refinish?

Nothing more than a light sanding and re-oil, the bridge was replaced with a Hipshot bridge as shown.
Jimmy also re-cut a brand new pearloid pickguard for this instrument as the original was not his best.
So not only is it back to its formal glory, it's far better.
All work was completed by George Furlanetto of F-Bass. :)
