[kkaarrll]

I am thinking of using this


http://www.minwax.com/wood-products/preparation/minwax-water-based-prestain-wood-conditioner


then this

http://www.minwax.com/wood-products/stains/minwax-water-based-wood-stain

in a bold color on a maple and a swamp ash body


then using this to cover it

http://www.minwax.com/wood-products/clear-protective-finishes/wipe-ons/minwax-wipeon-poly/


does anyone see any issues/ problems with this ? for those two wood choices?


one will be a fretless bass
one will be a fretted bass

I am doing a double whammy here

The products should play nice together.  Question is about the top coat.  What kind of look are you going for?

 

[kkaarrll]

satin
I just want a bit of color and some protection of the wood

 

[fdesalvo]

Cool. Just make sure the top coat doesn't Amber up and you should be in business.

PS. Whenever I read your name I hear Rick from Walking Dead yelling, "Carrrrllllll"! Lol

ok, another question.  I am getting a maple neck/maple fretboard that I am going to ca finish to make the fretless last. 

Do I poly the whole neck first? or tape off the fingerboard---poly the back of the neck, then ca glue the fingerboard?

I guess it boils down to---will ca go on top of poly?

Scrap wood is your friend. test and practice then you will be prepared prior to doing the neck.
