Found your bass prepped and ready for the next coat of finish:

in spray

The lights in the drying room are a bit yellow, and of course the entire surface is sanded, but you can see it shaping up nicely.

The hole for the LED switch is drilled by hand at the very end of the process.

I will get you more pictures of your bass, including your headstock when it's not in the dryig room. There just ins't space to move around in there.
