The Streamer pic is mine (the colour is a bit off), the Corvette is the same as mine.

nice looking axes Asarge. So the Streamer is the top 2 pics or top pic ? Looks like a flame maple cap.
Presume the corvette is the bottom pic. Both look very nice

Thanks, yes and yes. The steamer is the top two pictures. Flame maple top with a swamp ash body. I find it very comfortable. The flame maple top is about 1 inch thick. The corvette has a bubinger body. Heavy! But such a nice sound.
sounds good Asarge, I can see why you don't want to take both those bass's to a FIFO job.
1 inch flame maple top they could have made 20-25 veneers out of that !

So, I have checked the parts and all of the major bits are there. I haven’t checked all the small bits as I don't want to any to go missing after I take them out of the bags.
Is the next thing to measure and drill the holes for the neck and bridge before sanding?
I have found a bit of a stain on the body. Is this glue?
I can't get the photos to upload... I'll have another go tomorrow.
Hi Asarge
I had to resize the photos to upload them. If the photo is larger than 1500 x 1500 pixels and over 900 something kb it needs to be reduced. When I reduced them to about 300kb they seemed to go under 1500 x 1500 and upload fine.
Is this a glue spot?
I think I might try and mount the cavity cover flush.... This could end up a big mess lol. I'll see how it goes
What is the best way to determine the hole size to drill for the screws?
Hold the drill bit in front of the screw, you want to be able to see the thread on either side of the bit. Always test first though. Drill into a scrap bit of wood and make sure it fits.
