@Manton Customs?

Interesting. Have you routed the shape of a scratchplate into a solid top or does it detach?

Welcome Rew.

I can't suggest anything else, sorry. Try Repairs and Technical.

The jack socket looks okay from what I can see. I can't comment on the preamp. I was unable to get enough slack in the loom to pull it out that far. Have you tried with a battery yet? You have to have a jack plugged in and the switch to the correct position for the preamp to work.

You want bass face? Okay. When cousin Itt began to lose his hair, we began to get an idea of what he would eventually look like...

"face"? Sure. Why not?

Er miss? I think you dropped this -

Oo! Shiny!

...bring your own nuggets.

You're welcome. Glad to be of help.

Mine... I hope this helps. It looks like the shielding on your white core wire needs to be exposed a bit more. That'll be your third wire. @Andyjr1515 replaced the jack socket for me some time back. I didn't want to put a strain on the preamp harness and end up like you seem to have but the order of the wire colours is just visible.

I may quote you on that later...

Welcome Alan.

That's Jimothey's patented tone moss.

The bass in the vid is the Hohner B2A. I have one. It's active. I also have a five string Steinberger Spirit. It's passive. The Hohner is a much better quality instrument. Mine is strung with piano wound (exposed core at the saddles) rounds. It zings. A proper slap monster.

Welcome Phil.

Welcome BL.

Welcome BC.

It's a popular search engine. You need to get out more.

They look okay. The only improvement I'd make to that might be to use flush fitting bolts complete with ferrules similar to neck bolts but with machine threads. You'd need ferrules with a 90 degree countersink to match the bolts. It looks like it could be made to work from the light skim reading I did with the help of a pair of gogo ducks.
