1st Biuld - HB-4S violin bass

[Rabbit]

I'm expecting the machine heads to come in on Friday, and the other stuff I have been waiting on today. I went through all 87 "pages" of thread titles to track down other builds of the HB-4 and 4S and found 9. BassGuy must have done a second, undocumented build, since the one he used in the sound demo was not the "Golum" build :P.

Nearly every wiring diagram for the other kits has the bridge earthed. Obviously you can't earth a timber bridge, tommycng did earth his to the tail. Whilst there is no other earth in the wiring diagram, before I button everything up, do you reckon earthing to the tail is a good idea anyway?

Absolutely! Odd that it's in none of the diagrams.
