First Build "6 String Fretless", What Finish?

[wilser]

Thanks for the info, guys.

Wilser, when you say Target Coatings Poly, are you referring to a brand called Target Coatings? Or does Target Coatings mean like "the Shellac would be the target coating for the amber color, and the Poly would be the Target Coating for the protection layer"?

you might find that useful

Looks... complicated.. haha.

I'm pretty new to the whole electronics thing, this bass is actually my first exerience with schematics. So I think a standard Jazz Bass config would be my best bet, for now.

Thanks though.

I'm also going passive, and that looks very, very active.

I'm doing the whole "winding my own pickups" thing also, so much to learn. My next bass will be the crazy experimenting bass, with Midi outputs, and all that crazy stuff, w/ built in drummer.

I see, I'm gonna have to go pick up a bucket of that stuff. Wonder if they sell it at Home Depot/Lowes/Rockler.

Another somewhat related question.

The shielding paint that you paint inside of the pickup cavities/control cavity. Which brand is the standard in luthiery?

All in time..

Gotta build a guitar for the guitarist in my band first, gonna be a bloodwood/ebony mix, gonna be one sexy "and heavy" guitar.

they do not sell target coatings brand products at retail home centers. It is a specialized industrial coating. If you visit their direct sales site (it's linked through the products page) you can order direct at good prices and cheap shipping charges.

The shielding paint from stewmac works very well. It's what I use.
