bolt in mate.  youve kind of done it completely backwards from how i normally do it, but it'll work.  hopefully you havent fitted that bridge yet.  I usually rout my neck slot before i even cut the body out, it is where i get my centre line from

Hi jabes. We can help. For a single switch on that pup I would use a dpdt toggle to flip the two coils in that rail pup between series and parallel. Two very useful sounds. As for your neck join well I can help with that too but first you need a neck so you know how big a hole to cut

hi, i just joined the group. i've had he bits for a solid a while now but been building other stuff. i mean to cut down the bridge to a 3 or 4 string but no idea how to fit the neck - straight through or like on yer tele etc .. here's a mockup -no neck yet.

 need a switch for the pup as well . anyway any suggestions . body modeled on a stratotone H44.

Hey Troy, you're an Aussie are you not? All that timber you see is recycled, and a lot of it native.

Definitely. Weird ones are worth more points as far as I'm concerned, worlds got more than enuff fine six stringers and pbass knock offs. Let's talk about hiding pole pieces...

Loving the timbers you're using. Starting a 2 string slide paddle bass. Does that count?

I'm glad someone had the brass monkeys to start this. As you can see I love both kinds of six strings CBG's and solid G's will post as soon as I get on my lap top. Thanks bro for the hook up.

Thanks for the invite Jef.  I really like the solid body build.  Made friends with a local carver who uses a ton of bass wood for his stuff (carousel animals) and it's in varying widths and 1-1/2" to 2" in thickness -- he gives me the scrap stock which is perfect of a guitar.  I get a lot of inspiration from what you create -- some of the best on the web.
