Finally finished... 14 coats of TruOil on the body, wiring sorted (thanks guys!), new black Rotosound strings and new Getoh machine heads (don't ask...). Checked out by my brother who plays bass and approved. String heights etc checked against his recently professionally serviced commercial bass and all good. All ready for delivery to my daughter on Saturday.
BTW - if you're in the UK I recommend Gear4music for guitar bits. Machine heads ordered 2,30pm Sunday, delivered 1pm the next day!...
