You can see the finished bass in the gallery.

These are the last stages of the construction, before I start to apply the finish.

The adjustable bridge and the pickup covers are ready.

Time to fill all those unsightly voids, very common in burl wood.

But before I start to spray varnish, lets install all the electronics, test the sound and check if I need to make any adjustments. At this point, I like to make sure that the bass performs exactly how I want, so that I don’t need to correct anything after I apply the finish. This way, I avoid the risk of scratching it.

It may not look like a big deal, but this satin polyurethane finish took a lot of time. Now that it’s silky smooth -and already in Chile with his owner- you can see it here.
