Buffed it up.
Not perfect, but then again, none of my finishes are. I think for the next one, I'll go back to 30 coats of clear, with standard wet sanding. Either that, or Formby's Tung Oil.

Thinking that you could use some of the drool that this bass is provoking for polishing purposes...

Actually....perhaps not....
I absolutely love how this is looking, everything from the body/neck lines to the colors of the different woods flow together so nicely. I'd be drooling too, except I haven't figured out how to make the drool face 
Edit: well, I guess I just figured it out!

Wiring.
I think I'll wait until tomorrow to finish putting this together. I'm starting to get tired, and I still have to do wiring, and finish cutting the bridge saddle. Both of those require me to be pretty alert and focused. Perhaps a drink is called for

If anyone deserves a drink, you do....Wiring.

I'm running out of superlatives for this build.....Ultimate eye, and hopefully, ear candy....
Cheers!...
Looks amazing, I'll take one fretted with 2 pickups please
Im easier... a fretless 4 string
D'oh! Now you have to update the "Family" avatar again! Seriously, I'll call that your best build yet, by an order of magnitude. We need some closeup detail shots, that's just too beautiful.

Thanks again everyone. You all are way too kind
I have discovered one important issue. Playing fretless bass is Hard!

I forget what's on the side of the fretboard? did you put just dots or cheater lines? I play mostly fretless these days, but I'd be lost without cheater lines on the side of the fretboard.
It's a beautiful instrument, I'm going to burn my entry in the contest tonight :-D
