Unfortunately the decal is sitting a tad too low

I polished the knobs because they wont take the nickelplatting, it is a special process and I don,t know how to do that yet.

Re: Bass Time!
That's looks really great, Eugen.
Now are you going to build one for yourself? Also, what is the finished weight? My '72 weighs in at a hefty 10.4 lbs and the one I built using Alder for the body weighed 8.2 lbs.
