Anyone have a guide on drilling holes in a bass

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a bartolini 5.4 preamp with the mid toggle switch. My bass has the 5 positions for the knob but not an available hole for the mid switch. I want to know is there a best way to drill this hole as in what tools to use and stuff?

If you have to ask, you should, seriously, let a pro do this for you.

If no access to a drill press and experience, I'd recommend a small bit first, they the appropriate sized bit, but go slow.
