New control cover veneer

hawaiianbass · #1 02-13-2008, 11:21 PM

Ok, so I'm replacing the electronics in my 6 string fretless Wishbass with a EMG 40DC pickup and a BQC control module. Since I'm going to have to make the control cavity bigger to accomidate all the new stuff I want to have a nice looking cover. Heres the bass below.

I've looked around a bit and have decided I like these two veneers. I'm just not sure which one to use.

So what do you think? Or do you have a different suggestion?

Thanks

The veneers shown in the links are ~.025" thick. By itself, a veneer that thin does not have the structural integrity to support the devices. They will have to be laminated to a thicker substrate.
