I started with the Ibby neck. The headstock looks ugly as, so I decided to reshape. Nothing spectacular.

I also routed of part of the facing (some sort of plastic) where the logo was.

The plan was to add a maple cap to replace the bit I routed off and take the shine off the remaining plastic (as I will be doing the same with the pickguard) for a mat finish.

That said, I think it looks quirky as is, so may just round off the plastic and leave the wenge/bubinga exposed. Sometime a bass designs itself....

Thoughts?

I'm hoping the fret nearest the bridge doesn't cause the end of the fretboard to split.

It won’t, never an issue. When going close to the end on a build I cut the end slot to 0.6mm to ensure and file the tangs to ensure the fret does not apply much pressure. Glue holds it in place…. Hey presto!

Done this multiple times successfully so no concerns there.
