Project Basses

Did some more work on my Franken Fretless Bass of Doom
Here is how it looked this morning:

Unfortunately the bridge cover isn’t photographing as well as I would hope
I got it yesterday and it looked like this:

I am trying to match these parts

So I spent this morning experimenting with linseed oil, G96 and fire and good a good approximation. It has some copper shine still which goes well with the burst

I did the pickup cover as a test but won’t add it as I don’t like the look with it on and there is limited pickin’ space.

Here is a link showing what the body looks like- this is the one I picked up to refinish but rather liked the damage:

Relicing other hardware

This is what it looks like-it has already had a hard life. [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] If I do get around to re-finishing it one day, it will most likely be green and the copper will still suit nicely.
