A little refinish project…

[Silky999]

This was a little new black left handed short scale £85 Harley Benton which is going to be my 6yr old nephew’s birthday present. The only problem is his mum wants it in green and you cannot get a left handed short scale in green for less than £500 new and none second hand. Good old uncle Silky is in the process of a nitro refinish in Emerald Green.
 

I have also levelled the frets, rolled the fretboard edges, dressed and polished (it is an £85 bass after all so what can you expect from new). It is turning out rather well!.

 

Handy hint for a cheap painting jig……I have used an old disco lighting T bar stand with wood batten bolted to it to screw the body onto. It’s fully height adjustable and you can spin the body on its long axis by loosening the Allen bolts on the bracket. Puts the body at just the right height however tall you are.
