Lot of holes, I was making the pickup cavities (Bartolini P4 shape), electronics (Audere 3ZB) and batteries:

Well, so after all this job, we are arriving to the end of the process. My plan is finish sanding, frets and oil this week, then next week do the electronics and set up.... More pictures soon!
Ok, so after lot of sanding the bass (finishing in 800 grade), I was sanding the fingerboard (finishing in 1500 grade), install frets, level frets and dress frets.
Then, 3 coats of tung oil, and sanding again to 800 grade. and 2 coats of wax.
Finally, I install hardware to know that all works good... YES!
Today I was making electronics, beautiful Audere 3ZB preamp. This baby sounds incredible!
Tomorrow, I'll make the electronic cover, battery cover, truss rod cover and setup. This bass is going to a concert this week!!!

Top row is active/passive switch, volume, blend, and mode. Bottom row us treble, mid, mid frequency, and bass... Possibly not exactly in that order. Less than 24 hours till I get to play this beast!

Thank you to every body! This bass is done, Jared is happy, and me too. He is going to play this week 3 concerts, and then next week he will come to my workshop to make some final adjustments, if any. We will make some good pictures to close this thread, a review soon and I think a video, too.
