Birthday Jazz

I got given some money for my birthday (I'm 44 bit weird) so decided to spend it real quick on a J bass body from Guitar Build

2 piece Alder 2kg

I'm going to join it with a neck I have laying around from an aborted project

Painting with nitro and doing a matching headstock. Now to decide on colour. I've got a few Jazz bits laying around that I'll asses for suitability (all off a Squier VM Jazz). It might be a case of getting it up and running with the electrics I have and upgrading at a later date. If I remember correctly the control plate is awful so I'll order one of those and a scratchplate (once paint colour decided).

The original project that the neck came from was all about a non scratch plate jazz, I think I might be over that now, we shall see.

I'm going to do a solid colour, probably Shoreline gold or Sonic/Daphne blue

This needs a little work first.

I have seen lots worse.

I appreciate your eye for detail however.  It looks like you got a good result.  I bet I'm not the only one thinking it's a shame to cover up that grain with solid colour.  (Bites tongue).

Looking forward to seeing it finished.  It'll look good solid colour or otherwise.

Hopefully look a bit like this

On to some more practical matters. There is a broken screw in the back of the headstock tgat needs sorting, no idea how I'm going to do that yet.

Also the string tree isn't in the right place and only just holds one of the strings in. Is there a way of marking it correctly? Directly between the 2 tuner holes?
