from memory Tim think I just ran the ground wire from bridge to back of one of the pots. With the shielding all other pots make contact with the shielding and don't need an earth wire

It's been a little while since I posted last...
Here's a couple of update pics. I've put on 4 clear base coats and 2 tinted top coats so far. I'm going to applying a few more top coats this week, see where this ends up.
I would say that what you've got there is an instrument with CHARACTER.
The finish really showcases that super grain.
Thanks, maxaxe. I do appreciate the beauty of the natural grain, and I think that it's great that we can achieve these sort of results without having to spend thousands on a custom jobbie.
I know it sounds trite, but I mean it when I say that PBG is seriously making a dream come true here in every sense of the phrase.
Looking really amazing Tim. Love the subtle colour tones you've achieved with the tinted lacquer. That's one beautiful bass you've got yourself there.
cheers,
Gav.

It's coming along nicely now.
The bridge is measured up and screwed in.
All the hardware and electronics are installed.
The only thing is... it's not making a noise yet. I'll have to go back through with the multimeter and check everything. :?
Is there anything I should know about the Tone Monster kits? Did anyone else have issues with them, or is it just me? It could be me... Maybe there's a contact or wire touching the shielding.
A few more pics, with all the bits in the right spots.
It doesn't make any noise yet, but it's looking the business!
