Number 36 is happening.

[Simon Barden]

It looks very nice indeed.

Are the stings new ones or are they the kit strings?

Drill out a bigger hole for the low E, or is it the physical orientation that's wrong?

Simon....the string end mount has two bends of 90 degrees the string must traverse. The fat section of the E string will not make even the first bend.

I see Drews idea of the small file....but right now I think I will let the neck settle in under tension and then look at my options.

"The Action" is a chasm away from the fretboard, and I will have to consider options on this.

I like the feel and the look of the Bass....just the correct mechanics for it to be instrument will need some caressing.
