I have a swamp ash '72 P-bass body scheduled to be delivered on Friday (pic attached). I can't decide how to finish it! I'm a fan of natural and kind of gnarly looking finishes.
I was originally thinking about using some Odie's Oil and tinting it a bit to do a kind of dirty looking burst sort of like this...
But then I saw this.... [youtube]-huZ9gtzr5s[/youtube]
I'm just not sure about the accentuating the ash grain stripes that much. But it does look pretty cool.
Then I came across this.... [youtube]1lMwlYAKMfQ[/youtube]
If I did this I'd probably sand it back in the center of the body a bit to give it kind of an aged burst look.
All of these options would get a finish coat of Odie's Oil and wax.
What do you all think? Give me your votes!
I should mention it's getting a Maple/Maple Warmoth P-Bass neck with standard black dot inlays, Black/White/Black pickguard, and all black hardware.
