The only spec not determined yet is the PUP Spacing. I am leaning towards doing 70's spacing for both...

Wow! Can't wait to see that RW top.

... breathtaking AJ6 Presentation ... could you describe the electronic ... and possibly make some detailed photos

It has the 4 band pope flex core preamp. Two dualcoils. It has a piezo bridge that is not in use at the moment, with two 3 band haz lab preamps that now has been taken out. I can try to post more pix of it soon.
 
A fodera a day, keeps the doctor away. Serious. In my case, I just got it bad. I still use all my basses, and they all have the wear to prove it. I bet there is guys out there with $14k fender 63' jazz basses they don't take out due to the collectors value of such an item.

Be sure to let us know when you have the build sequence photos up on SmugMug. :hyper:
 
Frank Gravis once told me when he was playing bass on Sex and the City, he used a vintage 60's P-bass, but sold it because he was worried about it getting stolen. I concurred.

When my Emperor Standard 5 comes in, however, I want it to acquire some mojo and will likely play it at every gig I can. :hyper:
