Nice to see the progress you're making on this. From another thread you posted, I think that I may have sent you pictures of my Jedson (which was for sale on Gumtree & Preloved)!! As was:

Following some discussion with possible buyers (who decided not to purchase it), I decided that I may as well make mine usable - the knobs and controls were non-original on mine, one of the switches was non-functional, and the intonation was miles out. Fortunately I had replacement pots left over from my re-jig of a Jedson 6-string, and I managed to find a pair of appropriate knobs on ebay; so yesterday I stripped the bass back, rewired it and re-strung it. Sounds alright now - and looks more 'authentic' too. (I had to fabricate new 'pointers' for the controls out of plastic, but they'll do for the moment)

Pity about the dings and the great big hole in the edge of the body, but never mind!

Just for interest, here's a picture of the 6-string. The paint-job was a disaster before (repainted badly), so I left it raw in all it's plywood glory - just a few applications of 'Danish Finishing Oil'

Yours looks like a much more involved project; I'll be interested to see how it turns out! Especially the bridge...
I'm also interested in what strings you'll put on it - even 'short scale' strings are too long!
