thanks for the comments, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I like to solo the neck pickup quite a bit, so I had to modify the wiring to accomodate that. plus I couldn't see the value of having a choke in the circuit (anybody need one?); these pups are not mudbuckers by any stretch.
it's a bright sounding bass, so I may play around with some different cap values.
the bridge cover is the final hurdle. the unchromed ones from ebay turned out to be 1/8" taller than a few others that I have and they don't look quite right on the bass. 1/8" doesn't sound like much but it's huge when you're used to the shorter specimen.
I can't wait to hear it at practice.
