Thanks @sandy_r.
I couldn't remember if it was a separate bolt-on neck or was a single piece of wood for body and neck. Like a through-neck but without anything to go through.
Looking at the headstock end it is now obvious there are the little maple "wings" just beyond the nut. 🙂
This is super impressive.
It's almost a shame that you're going to fill the seams and paint it, having all the structure and guts on show would be great.

Sunday morning, and a new song.
Not one of mine, and not me on bass, but quite fun and I thought you might enjoy it.

Don't overdo it while recovering. I was informed by a surgeon a long time ago:
"Boredom and watching DVDs are both essential parts of the healing process "
Wow!
As for playing bass - I think you will have to develop a new technique.Possibly with the bass horizontal like a pedal steel guitar and you pressing the frets with your left hand fingers from above.
Or play with a slide, which would be very cool indeed.
One of our sound engineers fell off a ladder and fractured three back ribs at the weekend. Just come home, still with industrial pain killers, and won't be doing any bending, stretching of lifting this side of Christmas. ☹️
