mattharris75 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 That finish sounds like too much trouble. Next time just buy some tru oil and use that. You can apply it every two hours, and you can make it about as shiny as you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Uh... it's no trouble at all. Isn't tru oil several dollars for a few ounces? This is way, way cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inisheer Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 This project turned out very nicely, the black and the red go great together. So after playing it for a while, can you say how good that poplar is? I am concerned about using a softer wood, especially for a hollowbody....is it hard enough?

Geo Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) This project turned out very nicely, the black and the red go great together. So after playing it for a while, can you say how good that poplar is? I am concerned about using a softer wood, especially for a hollowbody....is it hard enough? Thanks dude! It's very hard for me to quantify the tone of the bass. Compared to my friend's Squier P-bass (which has 3-yr-old strings), it is brighter, more "guitar-like", slightly hi-mid-scooped, and doesn't have the endless sustain. I attribute this to the shorter scale and the semi-hollow body, but possibly the poplar contributes to that. But I would take this bass over my friend's any day. It's very "alive". I posted a link to a soundfile earlier in the thread if you want to check that out. Edited September 4, 2007 by Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
