I am up in the air on finish, probably just clear poly, but I may stain it blue or maybe even light purple

You know, you have a ton of figuring on that maple top - Danish Oil would REALLY bring it out nicely. You could always do a colored stain over that.
I have thought of that, I will lurk in the luthiers section and read all the finish threads before I start on it for sure, I want it to come out well on the first try! I will experiment on some scrap wood to get some idea.
I wanted to post a Before & After shot of my Warmoth, but the After still isn't complete...
Here's Before:
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Right now the bass is sitting in Michael Dolan's shop, where he's fabricating an 8-string (octave courses) neck for this Warmoth body. Changing the bridge to a Schaller, leaving the EMG J pickups as is. I'll post another pic after I get it back from Mike.
Anyone wanna buy a Warmoth fretless 5-string neck & a Wilkinson bridge?

I like the finish on that it reminds of a sweet Human bass I played
My father and I built this about a year ago for a christmas colaboration. He's great with electronics and wood working: I would'nt have been able to get this together without him! So, here she is...at the time it was based on the "Warwick look."
A little part of me thinks it would be cool to slap a logo on the headstock...any ideas of how to do that??
Also, half of me wants to put a pickguard on, but the other half loves the natural walnut finish...any suggestions (it's a dinky P body...are there any pickguard available for that body and jazz pickups?)??
Thanks!

Warmoth will make that pickguard for you, and theirs are cheaper than most.

Regarding decals...
You can use a graphic design/layout program combined with whatever fonts/styles you like. Buy a couple sheets of blank laser decal paper from the local hobby shop - they go in the manual feed tray of your printer. Then just print off your design, spray it with a decal sealer, let it dry and they are good to go. Only a few steps more than when I used to make model airplanes as a kid.
I've got all the decal application goodies complete with pictures on my bass build thread - run a search and you should find it.

Here's my black burst Warmoth Jazz 5er. I absolutely love this bass. You can't see the birdseye in the board too well but it's awesome.

Wow
...you built my dream bass
Here are mine. Not as beautiful as the ones previously posted but still nice.
Walnut body:
Koa body:
Korina body, my favourite (the one in the middle):
Now that's a nice family picture.
Wow
What's the bridge spacing on your 5-string? Very nice by the way.
