Hey Guys, sorry for the lengthy absence but I'm back now with a few updates.
I actually finished the bass a few months ago and have used it a couple of times at church so I thought I had better put this thread to bed with an update.

All in all I am quite happy with the end result, but I need to revisit the electrics. The cheap pots are little more than on/off switches. All the control is within the first quarter turn of both pots. I have also noticed that compared to another bass used at church (a real Fender P) it lacks a wee bit of volume. I was a bit surprised as I updated the pups with ToneRiders which, in the past, have been excellent products and every bit as good as original Fender fare. I am hoping that better pots will address this problem.
I might also upgrade the hardware at some stage and get rid of the cheap and nasty bridge and replace it with a better quality string through. This might also help address the volume issue.
But even as she is, I'm very happy with her and she has earned a place in my bass arsenal.
Cheers guys
rob
