Finally some progess. Life has well and truly gotten in the way of this build, but managed to get a bit done this afternoon.
Got some shaping done on the back side.
And had to enlarge and extend the hole for the electrosocket jack.
Fits well and there's enough room for the jack now. Still want to chamfer the edges a little to get it flush.

Nice idea for the bass there Pabs!
Wokka, it was 'fiddly bits' el cheapo enamel. Considering not clear coating it and letting it wear through. This is my brother's old crappy bass that he 'did up' 8 or 10 years ago. It was a wreck. All the hardware was stuffed and had been glued to the body with wet paint.
