Yeah I just used it for wetsanding. Except at the end because I was worried it was just sanding paper coming off instead of paint.
Now that it's all dry and rested, it appears to be a lot better than I first expected. It still rubs off, but only a little. Now for the fine
sanding...

Aand I rubbed it in bee's wax and rubbed it off. Brings out the colour nicely. Beautiful rosewood.
Put bass together, it's looking a lot better.

And here it is! Stagg BC300FL.

2: screenshot from video: A piece of toilet paper rubbed up and down three times looks like this:
(other two are coming but I reached limit)
Why on earth did they bother to paint it in the first place?

There's some awesome guitar painting videos on YT...

This guy makes it looks so easy... particularly with those pens...
Was thinking of dark blue, like navy, and perhaps silver details.

So, sister came and went, was fun. We went to that lovely little guitar shop where she got a bag to bring her blue C&W with her, and I got strings
for the 4-string. The guy there did advice against putting roundwound strings on a fretless because it leaves marks. So maybe... I'm thinking putting
them on my Hamer. That one's had the same strings since 1998.

Okay, my bad. I have been thinking about you guys but I've been snowed under with study. Calvin sent me an email which has finally jolted me into
action to post a message. I'm actually quite well.
I'm in the middle of swot vac. I've completed two major exams, third year applied probability and second year quantum mechanics, which went fairly
well and there's one to go, modelling with ordinary differential equations. The physics exam is worth 50% of the final grade and I also went through a
fair bit of stress getting my prac report completed. Final exams in maths are worth 70% of the final grade so there's a lot of pressure with those
too.
I've been sick of zappa.com for a while. I've been there once since months ago to answer a PM that Moshkito sent me.
I hope everyone who comes here is okay. I'll try not to let so much time go by again.

Poly, hey! Glad it's the studies keeping you away, was worried it might have been health problems.
Main reason I check in on Zappa.com now is to keep a bit of an eye on Plook, poor guy lost his wife and his brother in the past two months.

Check out the Plook On Tour thread, he talks heart-breakingly about it on there.

Well, my current batch of exams are now over, after the last one yesterday. It didn't go too well. It was a good paper, there wasn't anything in there
that I didn't understand or couldn't solve given the time, but I just couldn't make a good fist of it in the time available. Out of my three courses
it was on the bottom of my list - only because one of them has to be - and I guess that was the one where I just hadn't had enough time to get fluid
with it, combined with the fact that I was mentally exhausted. My head's been in a vice since the start of March. Now I've got the agony of waiting
two weeks or so for the marks.
