Body and neck? 
Pretty cool if you'd ask me :P |

Only thing left is wiring everything.
What would you guys do:
Vol/Vol/Tone + on/on/on switch
or
Vol/Vol/Tone/Tone + on/on/on switch
Not sure if the second tone pot would make a big difference. |

I wired everything yesterday (Vol/Vol/Tone/ On/On/On switch). I'm glad everything works, because wiring that switch....
I couldn't find the pickups screws so I ordered some, will be here tomorrow so I might finish is tomorrow or wednesday.

At the moment I took the bass apart for a refinish. Didn't really like the oil finish. I'm going for high gloss now. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
