All done, my buddy has it as of last night and was ecstatic with the work and playability.

Whew!

Neck all done and polished... Logo looks legit and tops. Body is almost done!

Body sanded with 600, then 1500, and finally 2500.

Finished with a rottenstone polish and beeswax.

Glossy but not too glossy since it is a 33 year old bass

Sun is shining so time to kick it into full swing.

Project #1 for this year is my friend's 1980 Tokai Jazz Bass JB45 refinish.

Originally all black poly (neck, headstock, and body) I stripped all of it and aged the neck with amber lacquer and the body in an aged faded Daphne Blue lacquer.

Should be done this week hopefully.
