    Hello !

    I just finished the restoration of the # 402 bass .

    1) Re sand the full bass
    2) Clean and wash the rosewood top, note how is the wood grain is much more figured after all job.
    3) Re paint the Bridge Status Logo
    4) New high gloss clear quote
    5) Re leveling fret job
    6) Polish the gloss clear
    7) New Control and Battery covers
    8) All dings and scratches on the woven and wood surfaces were repaired.

    These are the pics of the original state of the bass :

  3. Good job. I liked it the way it was too. You put the bridge plate on upside down.
