    Fixed and in daylight.

    I should know not to do things in the dark at night at the end of a day. The neck pickup chrome cover was spot on....the bridge ashtray one....5mm difference on the sides. All fixed and new hole neatly hidden by the cover and they are both straight now.

    Height at the NUT set this morning....E came down about 2 mm the others less.

    String Action is spot on 5/64 at the 17th fret....plays nice at that....4/64 gets a little twang occassionally.

    This one has not taken my normal threee months to complete....the finish was natural oils and waxes and they worked great.

    This is the most fun, and I believe the best end result I have produced yet in my short Bass building life/hobby/career. She makes 21 guitars in my possession.....oh my G.A.S. is inflamed in this one.

    Ultra classic look you have achieved Ozzie.

    Shorter finish time with the products used is a bonus and came up looking as shiny as any others you have done.

    Well done.

    Thanks WAZ. I was not going for a full gloss finish...semi gloss maybe. I just wanted to try something more natural...think next stop is Danish or Scandinavian Oil bare...sort of a Satin finish.

    The series parrallel switch is amazing...so much more grunt and the mids just leap out at you. Such a cheap upgrade amazing results.

    Might have to consider that for my J Bass.

    Doing a bit of re-wiring this weekend to solve a few gremlins and upgrades on guitars. Thankfully all Basses have been behaving themselves and not requiring any work.

    Pity i didn't think about this upgrade as my Real Parts order arrived yesterday. Might end up with a spare 500k push/pull if one of the gremlins proves to be something else? If so, may use that.
