Nice work! That came out looking good. It's almost like barn wood the way you darkened up the finish. I've got a soft spot for those pine barn wood bodies. I did something similar with a Fender Precision Bass Lyte where the finish was starting to come off on its own. I took it one step further...

Same as KohanMike above: I've been using these Keenstone externally rechargeable batteries in basses with EMG and Underhill preamps for about 2.5 years without any issues. They run 8.4 volts. No internal USB charge system. I swap them for a new charged battery every six months just to be safe...
