The careful use of a file and or sanding block is fine (assuming I could take evenly from either side and not deepen the channel by mistak) I have the necessary tools and patience.

Many many folk recommended Superlux HD681. They are utterly inexpensive and the last time I used such great headphones was in a studio. Perfect for bass

I understand about the jig, I have built such things when using a circular saw in a previous life. And I'm not afraid to use a router. I would make several dummy runs on scrap wood first. But I can't afford to buy one and can't imagine it getting much use hear after. Although this job has got me thinking about a build one day.

Ignore me, sorry. The doctor warned me that one of the symptoms of my condition is confusion and foggy thinking. I think we both just witnessed this.
-
Not all. I'm here too remember 🤯

Ha! Beard envy. No @3below I think you have those columns mixed up. The neck is 14.5mm dropping to 12.5mm, the depth of the channel fairly consistent at 9. 5 the 5mm is the width of the channel. Otherwise the channel would be deeper than the wood in which it sits!
-
1cm from paint = 14.5mm 2cm = 14 and so on in cm increments 13.5mm 13mm 12.5mm 12.5mm 12.5mm in fact 12.5mm all the way to fret 7

Trying to work through the questions posted above, but am here with the bass so keep 'em coming
-
doing this now: Channel = 9.5mm deepens to nearly 10mm at 7th fret
-
16.5mm at the paint line slot here 9.5mm deep
-
1cm at thickest 8 mm at sides

Hi guys, thank you all so much for your thoughts on this. I'm heading to the shed now and shall attempt to answer some questions when I get there. Andy's question about material removed from the nut end I can answer now. I scraped back a couple of mm from top and sides of the rod (before we embarked on this craziness!) as a first attempt to expose more thread and thereby have space for a washer. The (now snapped off) end of the rod had no useable thread at the tip so a washer essentially made it impossible to start the nut. Which is why I thought I might win by exposing a little more of the rod. I removed nothing from the underside.

No idea! Never as much as held one in my hand. Let's hope it's just lacquer cracking. @Andyjr1515I thought the channel wasn't deep enough in the centre for single action?
-
Well all this may be academic. As I was putting the bass in its case I felt a sharp edge catch my skin. Turned it over and the neck has started to split. All good narratives need our hero facing certain defeat, but is there a redemptive ending to this story?
-
I'm staying in the shed. Right, taking volute to mean the bit that starts to curve towards the headstock, I measured as close to the nut as I could where the neck was still straight. It's 13.5mm there but drops to 12.5mm thereafter. Until the 7th fret(ish) where it deepens to 14mm, rising to 15mm as we approach the heel. Oh and its 5mm wide Not quite the perfect angle but you can see within a mm how shallow it is.

only exercise I get

Yes

Do you consider reading music important?

They come up occasionally. You want to come on over collect the amp? Would save us both postage - your call. I'll pm about the cab.
-
-If you decide to add another cab I have a Trace 2X10 as well.
-
Absolute match made in heaven!
-
Hi SOTW, did this and it actually gets shallower just towards the heel!
-
Good point
