Blueprints/measurements of 20/20

I hadn't noticed this tread for a while. It sounds like you are really going to town on the 20/20 Reisue/Reissue! How close was the headstock thickness? That has got to be the oddest neck ever bolted to a bass. I guess that's what makes it unique.

I've started working again on the 20/20 clone. After a long stop due to pain in my right arm, that I preserved to play, today I completed routing. I had no luck with pickguard, for some reason I cut always strange. Hope in the next days to assemble all the stuff and take some notes from it. Pictures to come soon

Yesterday I wired and had a nasty and strange surprise: everything was working fine but neck pickup was picking only G and D

. Bridge one was ok. Both were measuring 55 K Ohm, but I know that there is a preamp and not wire only.
EMG HB is actually a split coil under a humbucker cover, but it looks that the coils are wired in parallel and one is dead

Lift a conductor and check each coil?

It looks sealed with some kind of epoxy resin. I will try hoping to see something

I had one that was damaged (used purely for filling the hole in my RD where another damaged pup lived) sent from NZ and if I can remember it was potted with something solid...

It should be easy to tell the difference between wax and epoxy potting. If it's epoxy, forget trying to look at the innards.
