Not sure if its just the lighting, but it definitely seems to have more purple-urple oomph!!!
Did you apply the transtint over top of the seal coat/filler?

Dremy,
Just hit it a few more times with the purple, sanding in between every other coat. The "magic" in actually in the finish, IMO, a spray finish would really take that purple to the next level.......

after 5 coats of clear I think I did a total of 10.....
I'm going to sand of about 4 coats or more.. I got to happy with the gun and I have runs around the mm pickup and bridge area....
I us car clear coat and hardner.. I did get some waterbase from target coating... but that water base chunks up... and it was spittin out chunks on my bass body....I'm going to try water base again, Bcause this car clear / hardner always puts "frog eyes" on my bodies... might B......Bcause I spray out side (sun)......
I stripped the Clear.. and finished it with tru oil
..well what happen was, I sand through the clear.. and it did not look good at all
. So

Ha! I was thinking when clicking on this thread "At his rate he could have finished that purple bass and built another by now". Nice work as usual, beautiful Jazz's. The walnut and wenge sounds like it'll be cool too, it'll be a heavy one though, both mine were anyway.
...its gonna B a lil heavy... my 1st walnut jazz I used PERUVIAN NOGAL WALNUT.. and that was ah lil lighter.. then this walnut..(Solid Black Walnut)
Are those some sort of threaded inserts for the neck screws? They appear to more than just a spiffy screw.
