    The body was given about 25 coats of tru-oil. It has been rested for a week. So today I had a go at a Cut and Polish.
    I used Maguire’s Ultimate cutting compound, then Maguire’s Scratch X - rubbed on with Random Orbital Polisher. Wipe off with microfibre cloth. I will let it sit for a few days before I put the neck on.

    Assembly is complete! At the moment the 3-way switch is not being used. I will think about how I want it wired later!
    I have used the kit strings and have rough tuned. I will leave it for a few days and then do the string setup.

    Looks great TD! I actually forgot this one was a bass!

    I'm sure you already have wiring ideas, but here's a link from a post a few years ago with a couple of 1 pickup/3-way switch options.
