Echoing fender3x, that is extremely cool that you have a Club 50! I also agree that, while a picture would be very interesting and helpful, please don't feel like you need to go out of your way unless it's already out.Originally Posted by blinddrew
Thank you all for the extremely helpful information! After getting a chance to get home and get a closer look at the control plate, I agree that it would be very difficult to modify. Switching the volume pot for a 500k pot for the bridge humbucker seems easy enough, but anything beyond that would be tricky. King Casey, I like your idea, I may play around with that idea on the Mustang switch, but that may be better saved for a future build. I see myself building another violin bass in the future, possibly for my sister who is also a viola player. There's still a lot to do on this kit, so I have lots of time to figure it out!
I'll be starting on the neck while I let the body sit for awhile. I bought some dowels to fill in the existing tuner holes, but I wasn't able to find the exact right size (the tuner hole is .55in where the dowels came in .5in or .625in). I'm thinking it will be better to go with the slightly larger size dowel and adjust the sizing as needed to fit the holes. I'll update as the build moves forward. Thanks again to everyone for all the help along the way!
