Thanks Dozy, Simon and Fender3x.
I'm really happy with the final appearance. More of an inspired by tribute rather than a true copy of the real axes.
Learnt lots about routing pickup cavities, spray painting and clear coating. Also, I probably would not use paulownia again - but , live and learn. Overall it has been fun and now I have my Axe.

The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
I have not found the magic formula for making it hard enough to resist dents, but I can tell you that my back is a real fan of paulownia. My go-to bass is made of the stuff, largely because I don't get that old familiar spike in the back after a 30 min of playing.Originally Posted by Trevor Davies
Anyway, a battle axe ought to have some nicks and dents don't you think?
In any case it's a killer bass ;-)
