Still waiting for parts. Got some small parts from StewMac, wood will come next week (yeah!) and for the pickups, I’ll have to wait at least another week or two I guess.

Meanwhile, I finished the design of the back of the bass with a control cavity design and the shape of the neck to headstock transition:

And I’ve made a paper grain selection template and this is how the top will come out:

After the control cavity template I will make a new scarf joint jig and I’ll hopefully receive the pickups so I can finish the pickup and neck pocket template… Then.. I’ll start building
