Used Minwax urathane varnish 100% straight. Repeated the sanding/varnishing 3 times, getting easier on the pressure as progressing. On the 3rd cycle take only enough to get it smooth with minimum removal using the high 1500, 2000, and 2500 wet finish paper. The last is just a polish cloth. I didn't McQuires wax it. I may though.
Decided to make a GLarry GIB JJ 5 fretless. Got white polystyrene 0.5mm thick sheets from Hobby Lobby. I wet the neck and heated the frets with a soldering iron, used a fret removal tool and popped them out w no chips. Cut 1/4" strips 3" long and trimmed each down to the size of each fret groove. I traced the arch of the fretboard on each with a pen and trimmed it to almost flush.

I bought 0.5mm thick Poly Styrene sheets from Hobby Lobby to fill the fret grooves. It fits perfect! $4 bought enough to do 3 basses. I crazy glued a bead along each after it was trimmed and inserted in place. I sanded the polystyrene down using a 14" radius neck sanding block. It sanded right down easily. Beautiful white lines. Got the whole neck sanded smoothed w dry 220, 400, 800, then wet 1500, 2000, 2500.
Hi
I saw that you had put the spector in the tb and it appears as sold but is also available in the reverb.

Is the bass still in your possession i saw on facebook that someone apparently bought it and put new sides on it

thanks for a reply as i am back home u
greetings

I managed to move it on back home. Thanks for checking in Claudio.

I think the guy put flats on it after taking it off me
so long shot here - do you still have that musicman status neck and do you have any interest in selling it? I have an original MM Cutlass I and the frets are having problems that my luthier cant fix. Status doesn't make new necks anymore - or Modulus :(
Sorry - tried to send you a DM but for some reason TB wont allow me to do that. cant figure out why.
Yeah, another hippie revolutionary tree hugging peace freak has joined the fray! Greetings, guitar geeks! Thanks for having me!
I've got some gear im interested in bartering for an electric bass for adult son...and an UPRIGHT bass one day soon-ish!!
Salutations and warm wishes to all. Will post stuff soon! Thanks again.
