not much to report, just sanding my lil' fingertips off. got a couple coats of sanding sealer on it, smooth and ready for the color. looks good though, could definitely build as is and start rocking, Macca 70's style. The body wings have some nice figuring that is starting to pop with the application of some clear coat. pretty non uniform, just some subtle flamey stuff going on, I made sure to pick maple that was not too figured, as I did not want this to look like a boutique 90's bass. that being said, I'm a sucker for some flamey maple.
Had to order some grain filler for the walnut strips on the headstock, as the grain on walnut is so open, there is no way to get a glassy smooth finish unless you fill the pores. that should take about a week, so I'll be mellowing out on this until then. stay tuned....
