Update: I applied the Famowood wood filler in the extra holes drilled for the BML lights. It ended up drying a bit lighter than the color label on the can :sad1: I think it will be ok once I have the tuners installed.
I went to test fit all the tuners last night to mark the headstock for the pilot holes needed and I found out that one of my tuners was mis-threaded and wouldn't screw on all the way :icon_scratch: Talked to the CS rep where I purchased it this morning and and they are sending me a new one. :glasses9:
Stay tuned....

Update: FINISHED! :cool01:
Today I received my replacement Hipshot tuner and decided to finish it up after work.
Put the tuners on strung her up and added the string retainer. Then spent the next hour setting it up. The neck is relieved all the way and is pretty straight. Not getting any fret buzz though. Plays and feels great. this might be my #1 bass from now on. :icon_biggrin:
This was a fun first build and I couldn't be more happier with how it turned out.ccasion14:

Went out and bought Tung Oil because of the way this bass turned out!

Cool! I plan on using Tung oil on my next project also..Thinking of doing a 30" scale G4 single cut shorty..Haven't decided on wood choices yet though. :icon_biggrin:

Thank you! Did you finish your Blue Jazz bass yet? I haven't been on in a while due to work and the Holiday's.

Thanks, You going to go with Black Korina? I really like this wood, not to heavy and great tone. I'm trying to get my Semi-pro photographer friend to take some good pics of it so I can add it to the photo gallery threads here :glasses9:
