Pulled the trigger on an ash jazz 2nd quality. $67 w/ shipping. Thanks again. I guess I'll be on the Frankenstein-build thread. Peace

I found the perfect link for you...

Guitar Finshing with Tru-Oil

Step by step directions on a luthier site.

If you want to tint the body here's a great Invalid Link Removed on using tints with Tru-Oil.

iJazz - This seems to be the finishing secret weapon from all I've read.

Yeah, just remember 5 minutes after your first number you'll be looking to score another. :p

I hear ya 96tbird!

Technically, I am the founder of the New York Bass Works club. (NYBW) That's my boutique bass of choice. I am slowly, but surely, rounding up fellow users to give numbers to. I am yet to assign any, including to myself!

Squier my yin, NYBW my yang :)
 
My new "stock" VM Jazz bass! Upcoming upgrades will be Changing the black inlays to "real" MOP block inlays. Custom built black bridge by Larry Smoak, Black tuning machines, SGD Jazz ND3 Jbass pickups, bone nut, Blackpearl pickguard. All work will be done by Larry at Wooden Wizards :hyper:

It`s a work in progress, nearing completion. It started out as a beater Affinity CL find for $40. After filling some major gouges, tons of sanding, paint, new PG, and installed a set of MIM pups. For the neck: sanded, refinished a slightly tinted thin coat satin poly, polished frets, and a headstock veneer - voila !
