Nice!

I voted Surf Green, but I don't think there's a bad option in the bunch.

It's good that you're making progress, but let's not forget about that BillyBo. You started that thread in 2009!

Nice, Bill!  For me it's easier to locate the bridge and check all the geometry before painting.  Especially with a set neck, eliminates nasty surprises about the neck angle relationship to bridge height.

I agree, although I am kind of tired of black basses.

The BillyBo is in the shop for finishing.  Should be finished this week, I hope!!!  What's your rush???

I'll be measuring and pre-drilling all holes, including the bridge, before finishing. I did a quick layout with the bridge and pickup using a straight edge and the heights and line ups are just as I wanted them.  We should be fine.  The one adjustment I have to make is the rout in the pick guard is a tad smaller than the pickup.  So a little adjustment on the width is needed.  No big deal.

Cool!  Better too small than too big on the pup route.  I just finished cutting four JAEbird pick guards and five control cavity covers.  Due to impending senility one of the P/Gs has the bevel on the wrong side...so it's now a lefty.

A brilliant solution!

Boy do I feel your pain!  A mind is a terrible thing.  Wait, is that how it goes?

Fair enough. When you called it your summer project, you didn't specify which summer.

My life is one big summer!  Just happy to be here.

Hardware holes pre-drilled and bass is ready for finishing.

XLNT!

What's the bridge on that one?

Looks like a Schaller roller bridge to me.
