See if the workshop can turn and part-off a couple of brass spacers, take the washers in as measure... Packet of Chocolate Hobnobs type job that...

Any wood work types in the workshop? Have you considered a slight counter route for the front of the bridge to get in flush to the body at the rear? I'm thinking that the saddles may be high even at their lowest, or is their quite a lay back neck angle? Cheap progress?... something to move the project on.

Mine arrived today... The MV P covers are a knat's bigger, not enough to effect fitting to the guitar, and pole spacing is the same, but I had to give the Bobbin ends a light sanding to get the coils in my Cream Covers... No real issue BIG Shout-Out (or should that be loud...) for David Adams @ MVP who also makes a 4 Wire Stacked Low Rider in a jazz bass pickup format.

Like the 'Fablon' Photo Flame finish?... I would hope not...

That is very nice... From the Serial # Built Dec'07 SRX 750... Ibby website has pdf of old brochures for spec etc. It's not in the 07, so a New for '08 Model... http://www.hoshinogakki.co.jp/pdf/ibanez/catalog/2007EU.pdf http://www.hoshinogakki.co.jp/pdf/ibanez/catalog/2008EU.pdf Price... Do a Google, might be one on Reverb etc. Guestimate... £450ish?

Local joiner cabinet maker type... with a router... 4 x 1/2" or whatever 'Stripes' to the rear?

For hobbying, no real need... Have a window open, and don't have ya face over the work... I just use LMP... low melting point Used high silver content solder years back when i used to make hifi interconnect and speaker cables ala Deltec.

🙂 RESULT! 👍

Black & White TV... i'm colour blind, glasdes as short sited and now deaf in one ear... lost a couple of teeth, oh and shave my head bald... at 54 my head is basically fcuked!

Yep... get a proper hearing test done, usually a doctors referal From the Hard of Hearing thread... I've got an apt with Audiology on the 7th Feb... 50% or More loss in my left ear 60db down!.. certified cloth ears... Real gypsy's kisser ad most of my music listening is mpe3 'n headphones... I'm going old school P Bass, Flats, Black n White TV and back to mono!

Hobbying Guitar electrics and wires etc... https://www.toolstation.com/draper-soldering-iron-stand/p86557?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=_dm&pcrid=&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1v72-v7t_AIVTfl3Ch3-xwE8EAQYBSABEgL9jfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Not a huge fan of fancy... Flame done to death on LP's, Birds Eye and Buck just look messy... but, loves a bit of 3D Quilted...

O'Keeffs Working Hands... stings a bit but great stuff...

Body is with @Andyjr1515to do his magic... Mark at Spartan Music did me a great deal on an Artec QTP Passive 5 Position Tone Switch instead of a standard tone pot... Adam Davis of Maida Vale Pickups, on Reverb, has kindly wound me a Low Rider with some blemished Alnico IV poles he had knocking about to support my build, so i'll look forward to try that by way of something different... Been on to Ben at Vanson Guitars on ebay for a pair of their FULL dome knobs that i like and have on my other Bitsas... And Amy and Colin at Advantage Music for some Adagio Flats...

Looks quite the menace... Looking at the pickup cavaties... J and T Bird type bucker?.. could it go just pickup with a small plate for the controls?

This might be of interest...

Thanks all.. The only real contenders Unlined, 2 Octave and reasonable £ were a Harley Benton BF450 @ £165 or a Gear4Music Jobby @ £130... So I think i did alright!

Depending on budget, have you thought to try GHS Ground or the Rotosound Solo Bass Pressure Wound 40-100 or 45-105. Shame, these were on Special offer with PMT music a month back... https://www.rotosound.com/product-category/bass-guitar-strings/solo-bass/ I have the Roto Solo Bass 45-105 back on my Ibanez SR600... Bass strings are a bit pricy just to try though... Back on special at £22 https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/rotosound-solo-bass55-45-105?gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGJwCQZ2n-tivyhvbPn2DNL1WElVkeY_klAK_b9a9s_4uCodbN7oWhAaAvXsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds EDIT: Sorry, just re-read and you don't want Half Rounds...
