Cheers gents. Decided to forge ahead and build anyway. It's a small mistake that I can fix at some time in the future and I've been itching to get to this point. Still waiting for one pickup to show up, but here's how it's ended up tonight.

Looking great Pablo - keen to hear how it turns out!

The final piece of the puzzle. I've been very keen to try tonerider pickups and since gfs had no p bass pickups in stock I splurged a little. Can't wait to get these in.

sure the toneriders will sound good Pablo, are you upgrading the soapbar humbucker or just the neck pickups ?

Pablo the axe looks awesome mate and I swear by Tonerider pups , I've used all the EMG's / Semours etc... but the tone I get out of Tone Riders suits me more, I love em
The humbucker has been replaced with one of these ... http://www.guitarfetish.com/GFS-MM-P...one_p_323.html. Considering how good this thing sounds unplugged with two strings on, I have high hopes.

Yeah Jarrod, I've read some really good reviews for them but GFS has had the 'bang for buck' for me recently. Who knows, these could be the tipping point.

Looking awesome Pablo - love the colour. Those pickups are gonna sound fantastic!

Most of the wiring done last night. Going with a volume/tone/volume/tone configuration (it makes more sense to my pea sized brain). Space restrictions have meant a few compromises had to be made, namely one tone pot is of a different breed, something else to fix in the future. Using 'gum drop' tone caps that are supposed to be on par with orange drops (and cheaper), but holy hell, they are enormous.
