Help! - Body Mod (Fill 'n Route)

[PaulThePlug]

Attention: Woodworking Type Peoples...

Would any of you be able, and like to take on a 'Fill 'n Re-Route' job?

In my quest for my perfect bass i have an Ibby SR Body in need of a makeover...

Simply(!)...

# Wooden Block 'Humbucker' Fill the existing pickup cavities,

# Wooden Block 'Batt Box' Fill the rear cavity (Needs to be filled for new pickup mounting...)

# Wooden Dowel fill 'Shaft' the 3x EQ holes a 1x Switch Hole,

Then...

# Route for a Single Split P in the Sweet Spot, or 10mm - 1/2 forward, (will it make a huge difference in sound?) For an easier-on-the-eye middle to the original front cavity.

Some pics 'n blah blah in the post below.

Any Takers?

Ta Muchly...

I've thrown my hat in the ring for this - but it is on fairly long leadtimes.  If anyone's itching to sort it sooner, then I'm sure @PaulThePlug would be happy with that.  I would be happy to finish the top with a veneer whether or not I do the fill and rout too

I was just going to recommend you... @PaulThePlug if you have any concerns about how Andy would do this, check the thread for my Silk Bass.
