Lozza my distance from centre of 24th fret to front edge of Bridge block is 214mm plus or minus 1mm. This should give you about 431mm (Nut to 12th fret distance) from 12th fret to forward B string saddle. I'd recommend clear neck. The grain is too nice to darken

Thanks for the update Wokka. It has been stored under 'useful information'. And I reckon I will keep the neck untainted.
Also had a couple of cool things happen today.
Firstly, my bone nut has turned up (thanks heaps DB). I'll start doing some setup with that tomorrow.
Secondly, I sent a design to the guy who made my previous TRCs, scratch-plates and neck plate. He made me a truss rod cover with an intertwined bass and treble clef mounted on a rosewood base. The bass clef is gold MOP and the treble clef is white MOP. The whole thing has been rubbed up with beeswax for a nice satin sheen and it looks fantastic.
Woohoo!
That TRC is just beautiful! Great design, and great execution!
This is becoming droolworthy!!

Oh, and the whole bass is beautiful too!

That TRC is gorgeous, soooo well done. And, is that the Vox Pathfinder you gutted holding up DB's nicely crafted nut?
Scott.
@Eliot. Yeah. I reckon it'll look great on the bass. I like the idea of the intertwined clefs because the 6 string covers both the bass and treble registers.
@Scott. Yep. That's the valvified Vox Pathfinder alright. Well spotted.
Looking great Lawry!

Lozza can you please Facebook message me the details of the bloke who made the TRC, that is amazing and will be the icing on the cake. Also I can recommend DB's bone nuts as mine has one

Hey Woks,
No need to PM you.
I got my stuff from John Duff at Labels Extreme here...
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Label...ref=ts&fref=ts
I've been 'extremely' happy with the work he has done for me and he is not expensive.
Tell him 'Lawry' sent you.
