Nice way to do the fret dressing under tension, way faster than using the Stewmac bench and all the gauges. Very very very few luthiers do that fret dressing under tension and the only one I know is Leduc who is also doing a differential dressing (the treble side is straighter than the bass side) aka B-Bow when done by the Dobbratz brothers (Le Fay basses). Again congratulations for your excellent work @honza992!

As @tauzero is mentioning the black battery negative wire goes to the ring of the output jack which is the shortest connector. The blue output wire goes to the tip which is the longest connector. I think you've reverted those two. The ground goes to the sleeve.

Forget Musikraft it's a lotery and look at Warmoth or Shuker. My Nash PB-63 has a Lollar pickup with a gold anodised pickguard and Gotoh aged hardware including Res-O-Lite tuners: simply put the best P-Bass I've ever owned (and I've owned as many as the years I've been looking for THE P-Bass, so at least 40).

He recorded a few albums that are as boring as you would imagine. On the other hand, he's making a lot of money (way more than when he was a luggages handler in a London airport) and it's a good thing for him. At least he's earning money thanks to music, which is very difficult. So congratulations for this!

You seem to have forgotten the Joe Dart models, and the Nate Mendel Sterling by Music Man model too @drTStingray... 😉

Yes to all questions.

A very special customising job for Happy Jack

It's close to a Brazilian rosewood sound wise. You can hear it here, Jack: https://tonybertrand.bandcamp.com/track/i-wish-i-was-swiss -

Stainless steel would be better @JPJ, like my Le Fay. -

Nordstrand Nordymute Maple 20. This is the 20 mm version for vintage style basses. I'm selling it because I prefer palm muting. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price in GBP is just an indication as I only accept Euros (25 here) and it DOES NOT include shipping, which will be at cost!!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. Non-smoking environment as usual. What you see is what you get! Link to the Nordymute website page: https://nordstrandaudio.com/products/nordymute?variant=12119135060037 Don't hesitate to ask for more.

D'Addario Chrome ECB81 (45 -65 -80 -100) cut for a Fender headstock (4 in line) with 3 turns around the tuners. The strings have been carefully removed from my Nash P-Bass 63 after more than a year of intensive use, so totally broken in, but with plenty of life. I replaced them with DR Strings Legend Flat Wounds that are more flexible and closer to that Motown tone I want now. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE!

Nice job, Harry.

The longer the cable, the less the treble. It's also another trick with passive instruments. 😉
-
Wow, I knew something like that existed!
-
Not the Joe Dart models, which are all passive. 😉 https://www.music-man.com/instruments/families/basses/joe-dart And the two artist series models from Sterling by Music Man including another variant of the Joe Dart. https://intl.sterlingbymusicman.com/collections/artist-series-basses

Just unscrew the geared wheel of each tuner and put some vaseline under on the friction part, it will work very well afterwards and your Eko will hold its value.

In the parallel mode the purple and red wires are connected together to the ground (earth), so your wiring is similar to a standard jazz bass. In the series mode, the purple wire becomes the connection between the two pickups, so the earth is the black wire of the bridge pickup, then the yellow wire of the bridge pickup is connected to the black wire of the neck pickup and the yellow wire of this pickup becomes the output of the humbucker. These two last wires can also be reversed if your newly created humbucker is out of phase. In this series mode, only the neck pickup volume will work.
