I hear you Waz, looks similar to the tele pup neck pup cavities you could fill it with water and go for a swim on a hot day.
If you had some basswood offcuts you could glue a block in the neck cavity and route the J style pup route I spose if you wanted the non pickguard look
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
That then creates other problems if going for a timber stain.
Why oh why does the factory have to do this to both the J Bass and Tele as it limits a lot of creativity. Surely they could do a better job of doing it right.
