Thanks. Yeah, the middle of the veneer was curled up a little but next time I'll know to use clamps on that part.
-
Oh, I didn't think of that, thanks!

I edited the last post and included the finished bass pictures. I don't know if you can see above, but the pickup cavities didn't come out too well. I was wondering what you guys use to cut out the cavities in the veneer with? I used an xacto knife and I couldn't get the corners to come out very well.

Well I finally got around to refinishing the bass, and I like how it came out especially since this is my first time to either finish or refinish a guitar, even though there are a lot of mistakes on it. I tried staining it at first, but it came out all spotty, and some parts didn't take the stain, so I ended up spray painting it after I tested a piece of the veneer and I liked how it looked. The pickups are Seymour Duncans.

I know this is a stupid question but I just want to double check. Blue stain won't stain over black like the fretboard, right?
-
Ok, thanks, can you get sanding blocks at places like Ace or Home Depot?
-
Ok, thanks.

I have another question, does anyone know about adding layers of clear coat on top of the fretboard? Because I played a fretless rickenbacker and it had lots of clear coat over the fretboard. So I was wondering can you mess up the fretboard if you don't do it correctly, and what difference in sound does it make?
-
Yeah I decided against re-shaping the horns cause it doesn't look that good, it's just that was the only picture I had of the finish idea so I used it.

This is what I bought This is where I am after sanding with the neck sitting on top. This is a rough idea of what I want to do except for the different shape, that was my original idea, but I don't think I'd be able to do it very well.

Hey everyone, I just got an Ibanez bass, and the J pickup cavity didn't have shielding paint but the P cavities did, is that normal or do I need to fix it? Also, what exactly does it do, and what are the consequences if it isn't replaced?
