I'm probably going to change the pickups out though. I think I have them slightly off center so the volume isn't there and I would rather get new pickups if I'm gonna take the bass apart to fix it.

    That odd tuner arrangement actually looks right to me, when taking into account the head shape. I quite like it.
    Nice job man, especially if you’ve done it with limited tools etc on a deployment site.

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    The tuner arrangement is because i screwed up and got an inline configuration and i wasn't going to wait a month for new ones to come in.
