Shaky Ground... Thought it was Gonna be Green Door!

Sanding...and more sanding... thick sealer.

Cream covers would soften the blow, have a look without a plate, or black plate if running ya fancy bell plate like a cravat, not Fancy like the Socks'n Braces combo... Like a Grey Pearl... but as the Cravat

Whats it like 'No Plate' or Clear Plate? And Cream Covers Busy with the white covers, and not a fan of the bell plate. Might be better with black covers - not my Jazz Bag! I'm more plain and boring.

Isoprope, frome the chemist rubbing alcohol, pref 99% but often 70% as had some mineral oil,.. or Lighter Fluid, Naptha. Screen Wipes, First AidcWipr - tge have a cleansing ebapourating alcohol

@sikpete whereabouts are you bassed? I've a Zoom B1 On ya welcome for a borrow I'm BR6 M25J4

Vindaloo - Fat Less

Thru neck model... shame. If it was a bolt-on, instant Fender-Bird!

On-Special at Tesco... Drinking some of this... and... And having a sand... With some sounds on... Happy Monday

Some 'Who do you want for your love?' funk... and LIVE Can't beat a bit of (Bully) Budgie...

Didn't like the original finish, match sticked the scratch plate holes. Might go for a 'Age Appropriate' sticker... Fury Freak Brothers?

String Length Issue? Rested the neck in the body, and offered up the Adagio Flats sacross the headstock, see what it looks like. The E is pulled thru the slot, till the thick winding, but has all this spare. The A, D & G are pulled up taught and fine, thick wind is short from the peg. Peg Center is 37" from the Bridge E Thick Wind is 38" - same as the A. String Thru Std or Odd Long String? Should i just wind the thick part round the peg? What flat wounds are you using on your HB PB50? Any cheap-ish make / model of Flats that are slightly shorter?

If you dont want to profile the poles to match the fingerboard radius... maybe a 3D printer enthusiast may sort you out?

40 Grit Orbital Went thru the thin veneer chasing off the photo grain. Ta-dah! My very own Knotty... still some 40 sanding to go... Plan is for a bit of tactile wood feel, not Super-Smooth. Tru-Oil with 120 using a slow and lightly applied orbital for Slurry, then Dry and Buff. Then again with 240. Thoughts?

Quite pleased with how this came out...

^ PVA'd some matchsticks in the scratchplate holes...

Quick go with an orbital 40 grit Love the smell of sanding lacquer in the afternoon! Wood under the Photo-Grain layer looks OK so far...

Thanks all... I'm gonna go for it, that knot looks knarley cool - hope i get one of them! Gonna be a Tru-Oil Slurry Finish.

Going to remove the finish back to whatever wood is under there... Any tips by anyone who has removed the photo finish. Sanding and More Sanding, or Heat Gun?

Odd quote for a bass 9.5” Fingerboard Radius - This versatile modern fingerboard radius offers maximum comfort up and down the fingerboard and works well for both rhythm and lead playing.

These arrived today from our very own @taddy https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126402119405 custom sheet Some more sanding required before i can apply it... but couldnt wait to see how it looked
