Bass build update 9

Did more work this weekend. I will post updated pics this evening.
I had a really fancy bridge plate carved out of ebony ready to go and a nice little routed out section for it to fit in nicely. After putting the neck on and the standing the bridge on top, I realised that it would be too high. Much too high... oh gawd. So I started routing a deeper hole... and... I got lazy and messed it up! So I took an even bigger chunk out and tried to even things out. What I got was a huuuuuge gap taken out, much like the one I took out for the faulty neck pocket. ah well.
So I installed another nice piece of padouk in there and didn't like it. So looking around the shop, I realised I had a nice little hunk of cocobolo ready to go! Voila! Now to fill in the gaps... in comes the padouk again! Put some padouk inlays on each side of the cocobolo and then I put a purplish slab of rosewood right at the tail. So the grains cross. I have no idea what, if anything, that will do to the tone, but I am learning, so I forgive myself.
In the meantime, I have been working on a more accurate method for building basses and guitars: a big jig! I will attempt to precision-build the jig this weekend. Hooray! Pics of that to come too.
Over and out.
