It's easy to do, especially on catch-up. Even a week away from here and you can have three pages of new threads. Plus the body does look very much like an ES-1 if you don't notice the triangular bridge support hole arrangement.

and maybe i should have titled it something with BASS..
anywho.. watchin paint (or in this case laquer) dry is really boring.. but results should be here soon..
can't wait to continue the actual building
the building continues.. even though i'm not perfectly happy with the glossyness i just can't be arsed anymore at the moment.
and guess what.. the next problem rears it's head.. something wrong with the electricks.. gonna take them to a multimeter tomorrow to see what's up..
in the meantime i can actually play the thing accoustically and for an accoustic it actually sounds better than expected..
What is wrong with the wiring Peter? Hopefulle you'll figure it out.
Nr 1: Red Widow LP-1MQ (Finished) ->Diary<-
just found out it's actually the jackplug connector which has a short in it
damm that was hard to find.. the rest seems to be ok
Always hard to find and frustrating. Glad you found it. At one point I pulled out the bridge ground trying to install the jack....

tore a jack connector from my ol crap guitar and fitted it all...
2.30 am now and i'm playin it for the 1st time electrickally :P
Looks good Peter, the quote "can't be arsed anymore at the moment"...you sound like an aussie in the NL?

not just aussies sayin that.. brits do too.. (that's prob where you aussies got it from)
other than that.. there are some things that need changin on the bass.. the pickups are really low output, may change them at some point and the pots are no good.. they kinda work as switches... 10 is on.. anything lower than 9 is off.. any advice on what pots to get would be welcome.
btw here's what she looks like finnished...

If you used the 'A' type log pots for the volume, you shouldn't be getting that on/off volume. It sounds a bit like like you've swapped the volume and tone pots.
I presume the pots work in the normal way, so that maximum volume is fully clockwise? If it's not and maximum volume is when the volume pot is fully anti-clockwise, then you've swapped the two outer pot connections over and the pot is working backwards so a log pot would now have an anti-log characteristic.
Did you take any pictures of your wiring harness before you fitted it?
