Here's the neck in it's embryonic state:  And a closeup of the laminates:  Maple and Purpleheart with an Ebony center lam. Ignore the silver line on the end of this board:  We love the dark color of this piece for your project - should look great with the body inlay. | ||

After the clamps were off:  Chip made the veneers from the same board as the body laminates. | ||

Yes, it's the centerline, everything is measured from that mark. You've never seen one on a finished bass, so don't worry, we'll remember to sand it off in carving. | ||

I heard you were concerned about the existence of your back laminate. This picture should put your mind at ease:  As for the inlay, your positioning closed all discussion about placement - there's only once choice!  Here's another with the functions labelled:  We used the standard back routing program for the basic layout. Sounds funny, but the holes are part of hte back layout program. This saves a bunch of time, and allows you to use standard wiring lengths in most of the circuit. | ||

mica i am more at ease than after eating 6 quaaludes ty soo much... i should have known better lets go with this layout- lets also use the tailpiece #2 that you presented to gary on his walnut k. i think it's less busy than the bird right near the omega- certainly open to your thoughts- would like to see the wolf with his ears at app 11 and 1 on a clock(better centering) and closer to the white ring inside the inlay will send val a set of strings. think i might go with the thomastik flatwounds- val suggested i do a rip van winkle- go to sleep!! -call me when its time to pay.... :-) | ||
