Oh and last thing - take your time - the finish, completion, etc will be so much better if you don't rush. The neck will also take a little time to settle in - 6 bass strings exert a little pressure on a guitar.... That said, if all goes well, it stands a good chance of being a go to guitar for you into the future. I've got an Ibanez bass that I haven't played in a while - I've just been playing the three PBG basses that I've build (JB-4, PB-4 and VP-4)...
