Irish plywood back after a while

[mrbacco]

Hello again fellow bass players, I was out for a while, doing all sort of things except working of course. 

I have not done many recently, cause I focused on trying and sell some, but lately I got some parts left to produce a low cost as following:

 

Maple neck. 21 Frets Maple Fretboard with black rectangle inlay. Gloss effect on the front and sanded in the back to provide a wood effect. 34" scale.

BODY: Light Paulownia Wood, 42mm Thick
Maple Wood Tele Style Dome Knobs
Brand new pots and hardware all around.

Brand new Precision Alnico 5 4-String Precision Bass Pickup High Output (resistance 11.5K)

Brand new Adagio professional strings 

 

I just wanterd to share it with you and say hi again!

What colour would you suggest for the body? I wanted to finish it with pure wood oil only, but not sure now.

I’d stick with oil 

 

that body looks pretty good for pawlonia

I have always had good results with Liberon Finishing Oil as it drys more like a varnish than a traditional oil. It does add a bit of an amber hue so might be worth trying on some scrap wood first to make sure you like it if you decide to go that route.

 

This is an Ash body that I’m working on using Liberon.

Tru-Oil or Danish Oil applied with a green scotch-brite pad..

very nice finish ... I got more or less a similar effect, using the raw linseed oil from liberon I found on sale in the hardware shop close by
