Yeah that looks great!Worth the wait
What is your plan for finish product(s), some kind of oil I'd guess if you plan to complete it that quickly?
Thanks! Yeah I’m planning to use an oil finish, a mix of the Crimson Guitars High Build & Penetrating finishing oils
Wrapped up the fretwork this afternoon!
I wish I could say this were 100% finished, but here are some pics anyways
just a few items to take care of:
-missing thrust washer for G string
-gold nut/washer for output jack
-gold leaf will be applied to exposed wood area under tuner knobs
-drill and mount headstock ornament
-A good coating of Howard’s Feed & Wax
Pickups and the Audere preamp are all hooked up. I got to play it for the first time late last night and of course I’m biased but this thing really sings! Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Took the bass back to its birthplace - Yukon Lumber of Norfolk, VA for some glamour shots. Happy to report that it plays beautifully and has become my main gigging axe. It took a while for me to overcome my fear of taking it out of the house.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their advice, guidance, inspiration and words of encouragement! I don’t think I could have done this without yall.
Now to start dreaming up the next build!
