It always amazes me how the wood comes to life when finishing is done. Congratulations, Keith! |

All lined up for flight: And starting to get dropped in place: Actually, they are all in now, but I wasn't fast enough with the camera - the fingerboard is all covered with tape and the bass is back in spray for the last few coats of finish. |

No problem on missing the completed inlays. It will just be that much more of surprise seeing it all together. I guess this means we are in the final stretch with the inlays being complete and the finish being finished. Keith |

Among my favorite FTC threads, having a soft spot for shorties. This is / will be a stunning bass! Wilfred |

Mica, Thank you for the update and the picture. When we last talked you said it might need to go back for another round of finish so no surprise there. Keith |
