35" to Fretboard side of Nut to Mounting Screws - or slightly more say an extra 1/16" - 1/8" to ensure E intonation - checked a few and a couple are close to the bridge limit for the E. Especially with a Std bridge, no issue overhanging the body, as with a chunky high mass jobbie, plus extra distance from string retainer to saddle should reduce the chances of any string silk resting on the string to saddle witness, contact point. My P Bitsa Body came with bridge pilot holes Aria J Ibby GSR200 Ibby SR300

Rotosound Swing Set of 30-85 or 30-90 Funkmaster sounds! Ideal...

Bent Bit Of Tin... Let me measure and take some pics in the morning... my Blah Blah says String Retainer, but a Google Search says Screw Holes... Center line, and neck in pocket, with 'elastic' strings first...

🙂 My J Bitsa Special... From a Quick Search and Looking back... 35" from fretboard side of nut to mounting hole centers on a BBOT bridge... This should give the 34" on the G saddle with enough for the rest to be further back.

I will need to check but for a BBOT style bridge, i think the measure is 35" from fretboard side of nut to saddle side of bridge string retainer.... (EDIT: Bridge Mounting Hole Centers) Get some elastic to check string run and neck / bridge alignment... my Jazz bitsa needed the neck pocket adjusting.

O'd of gone for a Oil n wax finish, cheaper and easier to apply... Each to their own, enjoy ya project. Real quality parts there... don't add it up! Look forward to the painting pics

Rings Match the Bezel... But if you've gone Black Poker Chip... Let's have a look at the black rings? bit more understated, but the Gold Screws adding the class touch...

^ unfortunately no depth control... Single Rate or Speed control phasers always sound to deep n underwater for me...

Nice Style... Likes a Rear Route, great with a Tele-head When i was looking for Cream & White Covers...Had a bit of trouble finding matching colour / texture... These are where i got the cream P https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190980490847?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jFUUZxIhR6G&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=daj_hJ6fSo-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY They have 2x Sizes on the bay. For a J cover the HOSCO seem to have a strange pole spacing, and didnt fit the std Kent Armstrong

Had a Tuner Pedal from @HugsonicArrived Bubbled 'n Boxed to survive the rigours or Royal Mail Parcel Force... Good comms, dropped me a line when posted. NICE!

KISSBASS... might have a lot of Gene Fans come a looking or even the man himself for a copyright moan... How about BASSIC

The Zoom B1 has a lovely old style warm round chorus TC Corna Tri-a-like... as well as a 'Bass Chorus' that sounds more cold and edgy and modern - wonder if thats the same one.

I'd be on to Bax with the pics for a discount partial refund rather than a return... state it was a little worse than you were expecting for B Sock... Should get you a set of cheap Flats, Nut might be OK for them.. 0000 Wire Wool and lemon oil the fretboard, 0000 Wire Wool and Furniture Wax the neck.

Feet Extenders Details please ... I got one of these, but the Caline PSU is too big for underneath so had to go on top.

Yes mate... spring or serated washer under, smooth plain washer on top. But you have missed the opertunity of posting a pic of your Nordstrand Acinonyx... You will have to revisit this thread and post a 'fixed-it' pic...

I'd take the lids, backs off if ya can... give em a proper airing and look-see inside... maybe a blast with some of that air in a can, used for cleaning computer keyboards... poundland etc.

Blade type buckers? https://www.warmanguitars.co.uk/product/drivetrain-quad-coil-29-87-kohm-ultra-output-pickup-4-wire-our-highest-output-dual-humbucker/ Or https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Belcat-BH-31-EMG-Type-Humbucker-Pickup/B7F?origin=product-ads&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI79_Wy5XD_QIVpOjtCh34zAgAEAQYBSABEgIlu_D_BwE

Nice... i think they are clear plates, with an image or colour applied to the rear... so a lot more resilient...

Sitting in the corner... the black headstock kept getting at me... out with the sander, now much much better... And to think, Ibanez cover this up on almost every SR with a facing?

Nice striping on the top in grey black, finish looks deep and scratch free, enough to make it different yet familiar. Mono Rail Bridge, Rear Route, Bound Body, MM pickup, Maple 'n Pearl, Active... With a more Tele'd headstock, or softening the triangular points, would give a look of a boutique!.. The actual ding's n chips to the inside edges don't look that bad. Nail Varnish would give another couple of 'good from here meters' and wouldn't be noticeable under stage lights...

Pics please... I think the cheapest you will find is doing the prep yourself, or if you have a local Auto Repair Paint Shop, that could give it a go over next time they are doing black... Rattle Can finish if you are any good?.

@TheGreek any pics yet?

Zoom B1 Four or the B1X Four with the Pedal... Amazon £79... the X is available for the same price...
