Or.... put a side jack on it, then you don't even need to fill the hole! Though looking at your angles I think you will have trouble making the holes line up.
-
Alternatively....... as you're painting it you could go through the right side of the body, through the control cavity and into the pickup cavity in the same plane and then just plug the hole in the side.

Carefully... A normal twist drill bit will do it, but, and it's a very big but, it needs to be long enough so the end of the drill comes out into the other cavity before the drill chuck hits the body. You also need to be aware of the angle you're drilling at, it's all to easy to get the angle wrong and come out too low, too high or out the back of the body. Looking at your picture I personally would come from the pickup to the control cavity because the control cavity looks too narrow to get a decent approach to reach the pickup if you get what I mean. In the spirit of full disclosure, the only time I've tried it I made such a mess I cut a channel and put a scratchplate on it.

Is that all the bracing it gets? From my recollection of looking in sound holes acoustic guitars are like a boat inside, ribs and frames everywhere.

Is it particularly damp or cold in Italy at the moment? I don't know how epoxy works or if it's affected by the weather.

Here you go, they're all 34" scale unfortunately. Peavey Millennium BXP neck. 45mm at nut 61.16 at 12 68.94 at 21 Aria Pro2 Magna Series. 46.80 at nut 61.52 at 12 68.14 at 22 14.5 string spacing at the bridge. You'll have to wait until next week for the P-Bass.

They were, but I'm not paying either the price for the current model or definitely not what the actual vintage ESLs are fetching now
-
Wot, one of these?
-
Sorry @rwillett for a quick hijack. Sam, what measurements do you need? I've got 3 5er necks I can measure for you, two are strung and one is waiting for me to stop procrastinating and finish the bloody project!

I've seen 3D printed concrete structures. Basically a CNC concrete pump nozzle, but the principle is sort of the same. Maybe.

Jeans pocket rivets FTW 😁 -
Natural 20, booyah!

Do you need suds with aluminium? I wouldn't have bothered, but then, I haven't built submarines for BAE Systems.
-
Laser alignment? You show off. Here's mine, I think they'd invented lasers by then, but they would have been as big as a house.
-
I've heard worse ideas 🤣 How does the template work? Presumably there's some sort of scale reduction because that looks a very big dish, more like one of those medieval spoon shaped instruments than a carved top.
-
Presumably because you are no longer prepared to scream and scream until you are sick?
-
Are you going to accommodate him and get in touch to explain what you were thinking/taking when you wrote it?

Hang fire on giving Jeff Bozo more money and see what's in the locality on ebay. You may be able to pick up an old pillar drill which if you get it right will be more substantial and better quality than a new bbot ones online.

That, I think, were I. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/187809-19-pedal-board-build/

It's working again

Not for me, soz Ped.

My app, on Android, has gone full screen, which is a thundering nuisance as the back, home and app buttons disappear when I'm using the app.

Where did you get the CF sheet from?

OSB flooring returns 😉, have you tried to make a bass out of it yet? Make it a weird shape, like an explorer, or a faceted version of something curvy? What's a butterknife style machine head?
