About the rest of the build.
It will be a standard 4 string 34" scale. 2x 2 headstock, hipshot ultralight tuners with Y keys
The neck shape is based on my 07' $ bass with the 1-5/8" nut width. Black faced headstock same narrower shape as 92'-12' era LP with a Pearl S logo inset on a circle of Granadillo aka Cocobolo. 3 piece Honduran Mahogany neck
20 frets on a Granadillo fretboard to keep better balance and proportion with 60's Thunderbird neck pickup spacing.
One piece Honduran Mahogany body.
One Chrome Lollar T-bird pickup 60's neck position with no ring if possible. If a ring is needed I might go with black around the chrome pickup.
Bridge choice is still up in the air. I was considering a Hipshot D type strung through body but that bridge doesn't sit flush on the body and modifying the bass to make the bridge full contact may result in inaccurate string height. I may simply go with the A type Hipshot (chrome)
Black bell tone and volume knobs with knob pointers. No pick guard.
Limed Mahogany finish on the body, neck and all the headstock except for the face. Here's another good link about achieving the finish.
