This one's gonna wait til around Christmas to finish though. Not in any hurry. But, I'm gonna do the body up. Then, get the neck later. I've got the neck pickup already, but the bridge pickup and neck are gonna be later on. I'll keep updating as it progresses.

Stay tuned sports fans!!!

And this wood took the green a lot darker than my last body did. ...wood. God makes every tree special. Never really know what it's gonna do til you do it.


I think I might though. It only takes like 5 minutes to get it back to wood, then another 10 to go through the grits. No biggie. Well see though. I'm gonna get a few colors, and some grain filler. Go from there.

Thanks Murph. She's gonna be bad when she's done. If it's anything like my last 10 projects, there'll be well more than a few changes before it's final. I'm one of them there experimental types. Trial and error is the best way to do anything.

Well, I ran out of stain. Gotta re up.View attachment 4446270 View attachment 4446271 View attachment 4446272 View attachment 4446273 View attachment 4446274 View attachment 4446275 View attachment 4446276 View attachment 4446277 View attachment 4446278 View attachment 4446279

But, it's actually a good thing. I think im gonna take it back down, and go red instead of green. Keep the grain dark.

Looks great, just curious how do you apply the stain so excess doesn’t end up running down inside the cavities, do you apply it with a sponge very little at a time or do you perhaps somehow mask off the inside walls of the cavities? I ask because I’ve tried this once too and it did not look nearly as nice as what you did...

Do they not mark the weight in the pocket anymore?

That "3199" sticker seems new too. I have done few warmoth projects, and am in the process of two more, one of which is also a jaguar. Waiting on the body now, Swamp Ash, pretty sure I'm going to dye it similar to yours, but Purple. (will be my second purple bass, I'm still trying for one as awesome as the one in your profile pic). I like the Angelus Leather Dyes.

Can't wait to see how yours turns out!
