Actually, I'm surprised that there are holes in fairly good spots so it's more comfortable than I gave it credit for.Originally Posted by Simon Barden
Progress shot:
I used some left over copper tape to put under the bridge so it's a little more serviceable than either a soldered wire.. or just a bare wire squashed in place (an old Samick bass bridge I once had was like that).
She's pretty ugly. A couple of scratches happened.. maybe I'll cover them.. maybe I won't. Pickups were a colossal pain in the rear to get in there properly, but they're in. The slot for the pickup selector is gross. The cutter I used on my dremel clone is dodgy and its making 3mm wide gaps where it should be making them about half that.
You don't really get to see the cracking over the control panel in this light.. too much reflection highlighting the crappy bits (which is most of it). Still the sooner the other bits get here, the sooner I can put this thing together and see if it's actually playable.
