So the question is……. What to do with the body.

 

Initially I thought about staining it black. Maybe doing a black burst and then finishing with lacquer. But the more I look at the alder - it is quite figured for Alder - I am thinking oil finish/ no extra colour. With the dark neck, a light body is quite nice. And for sure no pickguard methinks.

 

I have never done an oil only finish on alder before.


Pls note sanding is still only up to 80/120 grit at the moment.

 

Open to audience opinions and ideas 😂

Pretty happy, neck attached to correctly place bridge. And just fit the tunes etc for fun.

 

Going to be a sweet bass…..

 

Put the strings and remaining hardware on top to weigh it = 3.6kg. Oil finish weighs nothing, so pretty close to end weight I’d say.

Really love the trussrod cover and headstock cap. Is the trussrod cover magnetic ?

I thought about doing it, but my magnets are all used up and since I do have screws I am going to fix in place with 1 screw. For the pic it was just placed in position, smoke and mirrors :)
