Is it possible to do a finish like this?

[Mapleg4]

Maple G4 body, Flame Maple top, cream binding, transparent brown finish on top, solid black finish on the sides and back?

should be. warmoth offers the "black back and sides" for most guitar bodies, especially with binding. i can't see why they wouldn't for a bass with binding. i don't know though, i've never tried. you could try building it with the body builder and see if the black back and sides option pops up

unless you're talking about finishing it yourself, in which case disregard everything i've said :icon_biggrin:

I've tried! They don't even have binding, and I want broader cream binding. You can't get black back and sides when you have a transparent top either.

strange... if you go into the G4's information page (http://www.warmoth.com:80/Bass/GBass/G4Bass.aspx) it has binding as an option. i bet it's a body-builder glitch. i know they had a couple for carved top telecaster where obvious features were unavailable. might be worth a phone call to them if you can. i'm still very sure they could get the exact body you want

They can't get the neck finish options or anything right...
