okay, your fired. undo everything and send it back.
it couldn't fit in that case much finer and its okay about the repositioning. not a problem, it looks sexy right!
how thick is that body?
now i will not have to have you contour the back of that neck joint and it will leave enough Ash for the dowels to take a good purchase in that part of the neck and still have great upper register access.
those chambers, the cross bracing, the Mahogany skunk stripe, the soft top and those dowels should make this a tone monster!
i should post pics of the new body i bought recently for my sculpted gold top bass build. creme binding, one 60's bucker and a Dimarzio G (creme color) in a
chrome creme trim ring, with the chrome Warwick bridge and chrome Schaller tuners.
