Ozzbike can you please post a photo of the neck heel/truss rod ? Mine still protudes over 10mm out, so sounds like thats not the correct position. I figured it protuded and the adjustment is put a screwdriver in the holes drilled in it

As requested a couple of shots after applying DB's fine correctional advice. The Truss Rod is loosened off so it would go in even a tad more.

Guys,

I have to find some 125mm velco discs for my random orbital sander. I can easily get to 240 grit....but nothing finer than that.

Today I have done both the body and the neck to 400 grit. A couple of times each grade, and a damping down with water on a sponge between each sand....let dry and then sand.

I get some injections in my right shoulder tomorrow....old injury....so it will be numb and then painful for a few days. Sad I am not happy with sanding to the point that I could put some stain on....but as the boys say in the videos....PATIENCE.

I will go 600, and then 800 on the neck....it is so smooth. I wonder what a whole guitar of maple would feel like....with Dingo Tone over it....so smooth and I imagine so full of tone.

Whilst I was sitting on a chair sanding a long. The Aussie Post parcel bloke arrived....scared the poo oot me boot....he had the Seymour Duncan pick-ups for me. They look cool in the box and even cooler just sitting in the guitar body....yes I know the P Bass ones would be up in the pickguard.....cool hey.
