I know it;s been a while since the last post so here's an update:
- I've finished the staining and finishing (body 2 stain, 2 intensifying, 2 final all bushfire sunrise. Neck 2 stain, 2 final)
- I've done all the wiring and shielding
- Installed pickups and output jack
- Installed back cover
- Installed tuners
I am getting the back plate (the one that's used for screwing in the neck) engraved and will put that the bridge on soon.

Looking really nice. Can I take it that the black 1/4 circle line on the far left isn't a mark on the body?
Good pick Simon - looks like an earthing wire for the bridge when it's installed.
Oh, of course, yes! I should have put 2+2 together. It simply didn't register that there was no bridge on it at all as it looked so complete. D'oh!
Engraving place closed till Wednesday :(
That's a pitty :(
Done.
Attached the neck fitted the bridge and re-did on of the solders and now it's basically done. Just gonna sort out the intonation and action on Monday w my guitar teacher. Here's the final specs
- Stock pickups and electrionics
- Stcok machine heads
- aftermarket bridge
- sandblasted neck plate
- dingo ton bushfire sunrise body (2 coats of each coat)
- Mission beach neck (1 coat mission then on mission beach bs mix then two final coats)
- Da'adario semi-flat strings

Very nice, the neck plate looks great too.
Nicely done - worth entering the GOTM comp! No prizes only glory! http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...391#post137391
Great looking bass, that neck plate came up well
