cheers for the link Hoby I'll keep that in mind if I ever build a jazzy with 5 pot pre-amp active system. Looks like there's an extra hole for a mini toggle switch too !

Or four pot plus jack.....
If they came in Black I'd have one on the way "just in case" I get a Preamp for mine...... Still on the cards....
I do like the idea of a bypass switch too.
and, now that you mention it, a 5 Pot setup, Volume, Balance Bass Mid Treble , sounds pretty Good.

so got what I got planned to get done. Here's some pics before it got dark. Learnt alot from this build. Bass builds are so different to guitars. I made a blue and the bridge needs to be shifted sideways a little. Didn't have the pups in when I marked out bridge position. Something the forum should know is the Tonerider pup poles are about 3-4mm wider so they don't align as well as they could. The bridge I upgraded to is the same E to G saddle witdth

the beauty of having the battery under the pickguard is the back is just neck plate. As long as I remember to unplug the jack the battery should last years (hopefully).
Still got to fit the string retainer and strap pins and a good setup after I shift the bridge. Off to the workshop now !

Before you go moving the Bridge, are you sure it's out??? Strings look pretty straight on the Neck, maybe the Pickups are out..... Just sayin' .....
It's a pity you can't put a rechargeable battery under the Pickguard and a small "mini Jack" on the control plate to charge it..... ( I often overthink things ) .....
Looks great Wokks. inspiring me to get started.
