The neck on this thing is horrible !!!!Sad Then I bought polyurethaan glue from Bison: www.bison.nl/static/resized/products/assets/asset_9235_4.gif.270x330_q95_autocrop.png I rubbed the body with a polishing cloth firmly with this glue to achieve a matte finish. However its turned out darker than I wished I'm very pleased with the result: home.solcon.nl/aart.saly/images/Energy/Finish3.jpg Today I'm going to treat it again. This glue is a real brilliant idea I heart from a dutch bass builder and its very easy to process (first tried it on a loose piece of wood): home.solcon.nl/aart.saly/images/Energy/Finish4.jpg
