    It was originally set up to reverse phase but after several hours of trying to get rid of the hum I gave up and sine I already had the hole drilled I turned it onto a bride/ bridge and neck/ neck 3 way switch....may have a go at the phase reversal when I get some upgraded pickups!

    you nailed it Gav, superb looking IB5, one coat of dark tease worked well, its slightly darker than my amber IB5, the bridge looks like an upgrade and keen to hear what the switch does ?
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in

    That is one of the best looking basses I've ever seen Gav.

    Gav - saving grace is that it means one less hanger for your tele at PBHQ. That said I did hear Ads talking about changing the hangers around so he could get a few more up...

    That Bass looks absolutely stunning! That's the look I was going for with my STA-1, it certainly didn't look like that after the first coat! I think I may have mentioned in my build diary that I was trying to emulate this Bass but I attributed the build to Dingobass, sorry Gav!

    @ Tim, Dingobass did build a dark tease IB-5 as well so you were correct, DB's was the first IB-5 kit built
