Yep, just a half-rounded bastard file. I was looking at all sorts of tools and contraptions, but the tool I already had seems to be fit-for-purpose (though it may take a bit of time).
Not sure yet about a forearm contour. 50/50 at the moment, due to aesthetic considerations.

My arms are getting sore just thinking about using a file, but we do what we gotta do. I go pretty extreme by using an angle grinder with a flap-disk. It makes pretty short work of the bulk of it, then hit with a detail sander.
re: forearm cut, after doing to my two tele builds, I'll never go back to a traditional flat front again. Just my personal preference.

1+ I have a G&L ASAT bass. It has a belly cut, but no forearm cut, and I really want one. I am just waiting for the finish to get bad enough on it to add one and refinish...
