Thanks waz. I had seen a couple of posts in my searches, and I saw a couple that said clamp first, and then there was the video in the "how to build" thread for Fitting the Bridge to a TL-1 and in it the neck was bolted before the bridge was placed. Then just now I was trying to find that post and I saw the "Sticky: Bridge placement on a bass" thread. How did I miss that?!?! Too many beers I guess. Or not enough. Whichever way, not the optimal amount of beer.
