Neck all done and polished... Logo looks legit and tops. Body is almost done!


Body sanded with 600, then 1500, and finally 2500.
Finished with a rottenstone polish and beeswax.
Glossy but not too glossy since it is a 33 year old bass

FOR SALE
Bacchus BLS-59
Finally got an additional pickup in her, strung up with 13-56's and left to sit to see if there were any issues with the finish crack in the neck and as I suspected, nothing.
Has a few scrapes and bruises but plays perfectly, sounds very articulate and resonant and fun to play!
1 piece back, solid figured top, and tone for days



Headstock stripped and done with an aged lacquer.
Waterslide logo applied and waiting to dry for 24 hours before I can apply the final coats of sealer lacquer.

Sun is shining so time to kick it into full swing.
Project #1 for this year is my friend's 1980 Tokai Jazz Bass JB45 refinish.
Originally all black poly (neck, headstock, and body) I stripped all of it and aged the neck with amber lacquer and the body in an aged faded Daphne Blue lacquer.

Should be done this week hopefully.
