    Smile Finished Today!

    I finally completed my EX-5 Bass this afternoon. I had a tough time with the pickup springs not compressing enough and finally ditched them and used foam rubber under the pickups instead.

    It took a long time to wire the thing up but it was a success. I played it for the first time through my amp today.

    I guess I’ll post some photos next. I still have to adjust action and intonation. The neck doesn’t seem to need anything. It’s got a slight bow as it should. Action is nice and low, no buzzing.

    It’s been over a year...I was beginning to think I couldn’t do it....or wouldn’t do it. I’m very pleased with the finished product.

    Now to play the heck out of it. Thanks for all the help, everybody. -MusicStudent1
