Several questions. All Mark Hoppus bass related.

[NancyJohnson]

I have an option on a (cheap) Jazz bass body and if I go for it, would consider trying to recreate a reverse-P, Mark Hoppus style thing, so questions. 

 

#1.  Filling the bridge and (possibly) part of the control cavity rout.  Has anyone used an epoxy based filler to good effect rather than routing out a bigger hole and trying to glue in a block of wood?

 

#2.  Does anyone know whether a Mark Hoppus scratchplate will fit over the old Jazz routs with little or no fettling?

Auto filler aka 'bog' will do the job if you're going to paint it.
