Yes, it is apparently awaiting sanding in those pics.

Wow, thats pretty incredible looking. Lilac you say ????

From the pics I would have guessed maybe "Black Cherry".

Then again, its probably my aging monitor.

Yes, the photos show the bass after a pile of clear coats have been applied. At that stage, the finisher is concerned with building depth. Afterward (maybe even tonight?) Paul W. will sand, clean, sand, then apply a couple more clear coats, then sand, clean, sand, and then buff. Trust me, it will be as smooth as glass when finished.

The photos show it a bit darker and redder than it will be. Black Cherry is a good description, although in person it will be more towards a brown violet. Kinda hard to describe, so you'll all have to come to the 75th event to see it in person.

Lilac, Black Cherry, in any case its stunning.

You'll have a real beauty when she's done Paul.

"although in person it will be more towards a brown violet."

That's how I saw it. Awesome, masculine, really great color.

Yes, terms often used to describe me: awesome, masculine, really great color.

Urp. Sorry, I just had a little throw-up in my mouth there.

Because regular violet isn't manly enough!

LOL!!!

Nothing wrong with violet, purple or any variation of that hue. I'll be seriously thinking about getting a purpleburst on my 72 sometime this year.

Hey, purple is the royal color - good enough for a king!

"'72PB progress"

I thought someone restored a '72 Precision Bass. K[/size] Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Great job, Paul.
