Finally finished the string through body work and could proceed with soldering and finishing the guitar. For the wood finish I just used the Walrusoil (Have chosen the save way, without two colours finish).
Everything seems to work, but I think the output jack makes problems. Soldering (followed a very good tutorial) was fine, everything is well isolated. Just made some test, both pots reacted and then tried to tune...somehow it worked...first the sound came but then it disappeared. If I put the plug into the jack, it sounds like I was touching the plug with my fingers (plain noise). So it seems to be a problem with the signal not properly coming. If I move the plug a bit around the sound sometimes comes... Have not much experience. So I think it is the jack. So I will try to install another one, the only thing that comes to mind atm...
The pickups are quiet far away from the strings, about 1 cm and I already raised them higher...(too deep routing in the kit in my opinion) so will have to work a bit more on that. Very annoying...
The bass looks very fine to me and I am satisfied and hope I can fix the little problems soon
