Well between work, and deer hunting(Oct 16-Dec 21) and still having to finish cutting and splitting fire wood, I have a 4x12 cab to re-cover (tweed)
Then I want to start a Strat build. Lookig to do a CAR vintage body, maple/maple 21 fret neck with EMG SA's (alla David Gilmour) Then if time permits, maybe a couple hours sleep. But you know how it goes, most likely I won't sleep.

I've never heard of the Sog Gel stuff, but would probably check it out, thanx. I actually thought I'd just sand the gloss off and start from there rather than the restrip route.

For the clear coat, I was thinking of hitting up a local auto body shop. That is what I did with my 78 Musicmaster, it is actuall the same blue as a car we owned at the time. But the clear coat they put on was really nice. I've moved since the days of doing that bass so I'd have to find a new shop.

It would be nice to find a MM body on Ebay that wasn't too expensive to refinish, just in case the whole thing goes south somehow.
