But the bad news is that Bud wants to keep it for ten days to two weeks so he can tweak it

Trust in Bud

Beautiful bass btw, the combination of Black Limba, Flamed Maple, Birdseye Maple, Wenge stringers, all makes for one magical package! Congratulations

The stringers and the accent are actually both American black walnut.

My mistake!

Thanks, needmoney. It's like Christmas come early -- except I don't get the present yet.

Cheers

^ you got a license to carry that thing?

 

[misrule]

That would be neat. I thought this was a particularly interesting piece.

I meant to ask, but I was distracted ...

Was this an inlay or some kind of transfer? Judging by your usual attention to detail, it's an inlay -- was it a tough job?

Cheers

Neither. Tough? Not really.

Neither.

Decal? Stencil?

Nice as the first. Is that a full gloss, or some kind of satin/matte?

Paint brush and dye?

A fossil in the wood?

Stencil and paint (sprayed). Buried under about four coats of clear. It's my sister's bass so I'm not too worried about her wearing through. If she does, so what.

Next Question: "Where'd you get the stencil?"

We swapped the DS's for a set with smoked chrome surrounds. Fred's idea. I think this is the first set to go out.
