WOW! That looks amazing! My only worry is that if I apply the transtint after the inlay or epoxy is that it will color the epoxy, or will the dye not affect the epoxy or inlay? did you dye after you level sanded everything?

Ha, hopefully no bombs go off. So maybe I should try to seal the area that I am applying epoxy, put the fill, then sand the whole thing and stain the whole body? My other option was to do a "rough" inlay with the epoxy, route a finer outline of the inlay and make a "border" around the inlay with...

I'll look into the preval, never heard of it before. It seems like there alot of mixed reviews but I'm mostly likely gonna have to thin the crytalac poly before I try spraying it. I had a question about building layers of poly, I've heard different things but generally speaking is it true that...

Crystalac does all waterbased finishes, I am avoiding anything too harsh since I live in a studio.

After I stain the body, is sanding sealer a good choice to seal the body against bleed through from the epoxy?

I have been researching for a while and can't find any conclusive answers. This is my first build/Franken bass. I purchased the unfinished body from guitar fetish I have some unique plans using pearl pigments, glow in the dark powder, etc. so here is my plan: Route a design into the body...

Awesome guys, thanks a million. I'm gonna be trying out the wiring when I get the new switches.

I have been scouring the internet for a diagram that shows how to wire the passive tone before the preamp but have not had any luck. The only thing I found was this from a seymour duncan article but it doesn't make any sense to me. I'm a little lost when it comes how to wire the volume -> tone...

Thanks guys, I have one last question. As for the active/passive switch, what is the difference between the 2 diagrams? is either of them better?

Thanks 4stringtheorist & ABtheBassPlayer! would an on-on-on work like in this diagram? Ignoring the "bass-cut"/"treble-cut" wording

Yes, I would like it "on" at all times. That is why the I want to have a 3-way capacitor switch so that the middle one with no capacitor will basically be a psuedo tone bypass. Although I don't know what kind of switch I need or how to wire it. I have done a 2-way but not a 3-way cap switch...

I am currently putting together a custom precision style bass and I want to have various tone controls. I need help specifically with wiring the Active/passive switch as I have seen various wiring diagrams. I want to retain the passive tone knob and have a 3 way switch on the tone pot (2...

Hi, yes i did purchase the ignite music program. I have to say that I have not completed the program though. Once thing to note is that SBL focuses on lots of content and the Ignite Musical Training is strictly music theory and aural training which I purchased for more aural training. I found it...
