First coat of Tru-Oil is on.

(Mental note: next time wear gloves when applying Tru-Oil

)

For the briefest moment there, I thought you'd scored some bright green pickup covers.

 

[Fat Freddy]

Don't feel too bad...
A really cool multi color neck that I was really impressed with on another build turned out to be tape!....

Cool bass. +1 on the gloves. I also put aluminum foil over the opening in the bottle and poke a hole in it with a toothpick. It helps keep the dried crusty bits out of the bottle.

Just saw these on E-Bay. Who'd da thunk?

Yeah, but @louie_b's build is more beautiful.

My original inspiration (and probably theirs) was the Yamaha Silent Guitar:

I'm more concerned about what the appendage is for.

I know.......ahem......

I wasn't making any allusions to that just that I saw them. That's all.

I know you weren't. I didn't mean it negatively.

Looking at this close-up pic, I want to touch your bass.
Too far to drop by, though.

A little before and after to show how much the Tru-Oil darkened the wood...

I'm stopping here at 3 coats.
