Amazing! Is that really an oil finish? Looks incredible! If I may ask, what was all involved in getting such a good result?

Spector does as well... One idea for my next build was a Thunderbird body with dual (neck and bridge) reverse p-bass pickups.

Well I ended up sanding through near the bridge.  I guess my motto still stands... nothing good ever comes out of a can. Whether it's food, beer and especially paint.

I'm doing an aerosol re-finish on a MIM j-bass body, and am currently waiting for last coats of  clear to harden/shrink. When I started, I figured it would be just as easy as many of the autobody components I've refinished and wet-sanded/buffed to a decent luster. Basically, I just sanded it...

I spent over $60 on "sonic blue" aerosols for a repaint of my mim J-bass body, and the place where I work spent $3 per can on some Krylon in a similar hue for a walk-path line near the loading docks. Was close enough for me, and if I could've made it work under all the clear gloss I sprayed, I'd...

Drilling screw holes. First time I drilled for a pick guard (on my old tele), I didn't even think to worry about keeping the drill level. So I started installing the pickguard, and nearly all the screw heads sat at a noticeable angle. Second time (on a j-bass), I used a drill with a level on...

Thanks, will do!

The stuff I used on my j-bass refinish (B-I-N shellac-based primer) claims that it works great as a sealer. 

I've love that bass since seeing it in the gallery. Great job! I'm currently refinishing a j-bass in ReRanch sonic blue, hope it turns out half as good as yours!

I'm in the middle of refinishing a fender J-bass body in ReRanch sonic blue, and so far, it's been about 2 cans per stage (primer, color coat), and looking at my trusty stew-mac catalog, they suggest 4 cans of clear lacquer per guitar. I'm somewhat assuming that they're talking about an acoustic...

Beautiful! Nice job on the logo, too! Congrats!

Finally finished! Posted in the completed gallery. Thanks again for your compliments!

Just got her up and running today... Quick lowdown (standard Warmoth build fare)... -Walnut body in tung oil -Wenge neck/ebony fingerboard -Gotoh 201 bridge -Schaller tuners -Dunlop strap locks -Trem-nut graphite nut -Warmoth-sourced neck plate, string tree, screws and other hardware...

That looks absolutely incredible! Great work!

lol! I'd like to find the person who created them and fill their house with the damn things. Anyway, my neck took the full quoted time (4-5 weeks, no finish), but was worth the wait of course. My j-bass body only took 2 weeks, which kind of caught me off guard, financially. lol!
