So after screwing the control plate on and letting it sit its conformed to the body. Its done, ill post images when i get a chance. The intonation is good. My only comment is i feel i could have done the finish a little better but with my limited supplies i did the best i could. If i can get this thing back home ill probably sand it down and re finish it

Here are the finished photos. I did replace the tuning heads with 1/2 inch tuners. One of the ones that came with the kit was missing a tooth and I didn't catch it till it was finished. I also didn't notice that I bought inline 4 tuners instead of 2x2. I will say though that it stays intune better and has a lot less buzz against the frets. I'm probably going to change the pickups out though. I think I have them slightly off center so the volume isn't there and I would rather get new pickups if I'm gonna take the bass apart to fix it.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8d307a6d22.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8819fdd064.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8dcbde8494.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9934867c7d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...08e976d70c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cfed246210.jpg

That odd tuner arrangement actually looks right to me, when taking into account the head shape. I quite like it.Quote:

The tuner arrangement is because i screwed up and got an inline configuration and i wasn't going to wait a month for new ones to come in.Quote:

If they are good quality tuners it shouldn’t matter too much. On cheaper tuners you could have tuning stability issues if the tuners are in back to front.
I actually kind of like the tuners in that arrangement.
