Spent a very pleasant (and rather warm) day in and out of the workshop with some sunbathing today. Yes it's the UK!!!
Measured and drilled and glued in the fretboard markers. Then banged in the frets, trimmed the edges, filed them, drizzled some superglue down the frets and filled the fretholes.
Fretboard levelling tomorrow which everyone is familiar with, along with some shaping of the nut end, cutting the nut slot and installing it, opening the truss rod access hole etc. Then other than tuner holes (to be delivered), I'm pretty much there for this neck.
Turning my attention back to the body. I've bought a Tone Rider P bass pickup. I've no idea what they are like, this was purely on someone else's recommendation. However it wasn't expensive, so it's not an issue to swap it out for a Seymour Duncan 1/4 pounder if it's crap. But I need to make a template to rout out the slot, so that's the next task.
