My first build

[BoomingBass]

I'm officially starting my first build i have wood for the neck, headstock, and body. I'll give pictures soon.

I do need help on wiring. I don't really know much about so I would appreciate tips and/or a good wiring guide.

I plan to put a precision pickup in it. I haven't decided if I should put one or two, passive or active so advice on that would be good too.

Thanks in advance.

I have this in my bookmarks, and have used it and resources from it quite a few times:

Can someone recommend a good precision pickup? I want something with punch that can handle effects well with loads of bass. I plan to use thick flats with some thump. Prob Labellas

I have photos!

This is what the slab of basswood for the body looked like before:

Hey, guys, seriously, give him some chances. Don't we all wanna see a coffee table bass? Yes is the answer.

Tom, the toilet seat joke is being redundant for the bongo, be more creative...

Since I haven't the foggiest idea what is going on here, let's leave it at "the OP can PM me if they were serious about this and want me to reopen it".
