The perfect 70's 5 string jazz bass (?)

My buddy assembled the perfect 70's jazz bass 5 by combining an American Standard Jazz 5 neck to a Geddy Lee 4 body.

Fralin pickups, Badass and an Aguilar pre.

Killin'

That came out looking extremely good.

Your buddy did a great job putting that all together. The pickup routes look good as well.

Question Nice Bass

I have so many questions about how this was made...

Is there anyway to get a picture of the neck pocket and a picture with the pickguard off?

I just dont understand how the neck was fitted and lined up perfect with the pickups?

Very nice!

Back shots of the neck mounts would be cool
