Up from the basement

I brought the bass up from the basement this morning. After looking at it in the light (reflecting off the freshly fallen snow - in NOVEMBER!) I am going to declare the finish finished. First is the scavenger hunt for the parts I need to complete it - just some screws and springs - then the final build will commence. I could get the first notes out of it by tomorrow night.

So here it is, the body and neck have 6 coats of tung oil, the fretboard has been wiped down with lemon oil - as lemon oil doesn't "dry" like tung oil does, its hard to call that a "coat".
