sounds good Ponch, the east coast has had terrible painting weather by the sounds

Went looking for a set of these Tuners for myself..... Only come in 4 string sets, it seems, and don't appear to be available individually to make up a 5....... :(

Hoby send Realparts an email or give them a call. Sure they can supply a 5 string set if you ask them to add 25% to the 4 tuner set price

Will do, Thanks Wokka.

( gotta stop spending on this Bass, trying to save for a Strat Kit).....

It's looking really nice. Well done, Woks.

cheers Simon. I've disassembled it and hanging for a few days for final curing before I polish and assemble it this weekend

looking great wokks makes me want to play it! bet you're chomping at the bit...

cheers Andy, yes pretty keen to hear how the toneriders and active system sound. I've got enough other bass's to play in the meantime haha

I'm thinking of getting some toneriders for my JBA....if its not too much trouble can you post a vid when you get it finished?

no worries Andy will do. A cheaper option is to get the $20 active system and use the stock pups. I think it will sound fine.

You will need to do some routing mods for the battery and PCB box and drill a jack hole on the side as you need all 4 holes in the control plate for pots
