hi guys,
Well, finally a little more progress on this build. Today I attached the bridge ground wire and glued up the neck. The E string did seem a little further towards the middle of the fretboard at the pickup end than i remember during mockup, but I hope it will be alright. I muscled it sideways as much as i could and clamped it. Fingers crossed...

Neck is set. You can see in the bottom right one of the two patches where the side veneer has lifted internally. Not happy about it, but I'm too damn scared to do anything about it :(. Apart from that I'm very happy with how she's proceeding.

Jeez that's gonna be one good lookin' bass Gav, it looks better than a bought one already and you haven't even put her together!

@Stan, @Barge - thanks guys!
This afternoon, the clamps came off the neck and the strings went on for an acoustic test. While the action is a little high, I'm really loving how the finish has come out. She looks so awesome - if I do say so myself ;).

Suffice to say, there was more than a little bit of acoustic dum-dum-dum-dumming here in the man-cave once she was all tuned up. I so wish I could play bass!! (or even guitar for that matter :P ) Now it's just the electronics to go. Did I say *just* ? I'm sticking with the original kit-supplied pots for this one (not the larger CTS pots or their ilk) so I'm hoping it won't be *as* much of a struggle getting the wiring harness into the cavity. First though, I need a wiring harness. Onwards!
cheers,
Gav.
