Get them started on Prime Numbers, just the thing when you can't sleep at night
Received new tailpiece today from Realparts. Overnight!
Tasks in progress
Cleaning up the binding, then final TO polish coat. I'll then sort out frets/fretboard then prelim assembly less the electronics
Headstock glossed up nicely for decal sticker (still a WIP)
Oh and another bass neck that's getting glossed up with TO. I just love the feel of TO necks

Nice top Ponch. Is that a veneer or Basswood? Looks pretty flash if it is Basswood.

It's supposed to be 100% basswood ply (Adam has asked the question of the factory and that was their reply), though I have my doubts. It looks more like a birch layer to me (if it's not maple). It also feels tougher than basswood. It's probably a thicker layer than the standard PBG veneers, but maybe only 1mm thick, so it's still possible to sand through. But being a ply I think the glue used is different to and stronger than the veneer glue, so less danger of it coming loose if you use a water-based stain on it.
@waz - what Simon said. It doesn't look like basswood to me...... and certainly not soft like basswood in any way

Frets levelled & dressed, fretboard lemon oiled.
I had to remove quite a bit of material on some frets but nice and level now .
The truss rod worked a treat just a small 1/8th anticlockwise turn to straighten it out
I also rolled the edges of the fretboard with the shaft of a small screwdriver makes it feel nice in my hand
The body colour also looks a lot lighter and less yellow in real light
