I just completed this one a few weeks ago. A unique Scroll Bass with a special story. It's all painted with Varathane Ultimate Water-Base polyurethane, with metalflake blue and opaque black pigments added. It went to Gary Ryan, the former bassist of Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. His fan club commissioned me to build it up for him, and they presented it to him as a surprise gift at a recent show.
