There is really nothing to show in terms of pictures yet. But since you're insistent ... here's the body. Neck is still in transit, but it is a Jass Bazz style as mentioned earlier. I'm building it for my 18 year old daughter, who currently has a Classic Vibe JB of mine on 'permanent loan'. My current thinking is: Tonerider 'classic' PJ pickups The two 'stacked knob' wiring as described above Gotoh GB2 tuners Not sure about bridge Round wounds But i have never done this before ... so i really don't know where I can make cost compromises / savings and where I need to spend more All advice very much appreciated Colour still to be decided, but it will definitely be painted. I love the 'Periwinkle' on this Reverend Bass - https://reverendguitars.com/basses/decision-p/. With a white pearl pickguard. But all the guitar paint aerosol cans seem to only be Fender colours - so I may end up going with Ocean Turquoise or Burgundy Mist

Thanks everyone ... that is so helpful I had never heard of a 'stacked knob' ... but clearly that is the simple answer. And I will definitely be talking to John @KiOgon. From what I've read on this forum i would get into trouble if I didn't! Plenty of sanding and filling and painting and sanding to do in the meantime. Jon

My first project – I bought a PJ bass body and Jazz neck, which I am now slightly regretting I hadn't really thought through the more complicated wiring issues, or even just the difficulty of getting a pickguard with 4 holes! The body doesn't have a side jack cut out, and i really don't fancy drilling that at home. Can someone suggest the path of least resistance? Is there a detailed build thread on this site that i can follow? thanks so much

I have the same body waiting to be built up. Has your neck arrived and does it fit? And can you say where it came (is coming) from?
