It's not the first time that I've butted heads with the limitations of passive electronics, I own a stacked-knob Jazz bass. Not an original, but a Squire Paranormal. I think I'll just let the neck pickup share the tone control in the middle position. It'll be less stressful than chasing for a...

Is that unique to toggle switches, or do lever switches (like the diagram I posted in #5) have that problem too?

Thank you for the information!

Is a Diamondback thicker than an SG?

Connect the tone control to the bridge hot at the switch.

I found some P90 trim rings if anyone is interested. Here: https://mbitguitars.com/collections/pickup-mounting-ring Expensive, but the only ones I've ever come across.

It would seem there are enough guitar-sized neck blanks to justify continuing to include them in the builder, but not enough bass and baritone-sized blanks to do so. I guess I was wondering if this was a situation that would change over time. It may be that it would be possible to get one "off...

Will we see the return of Mahogany as an offering for bass and baritone necks?

I defer to your years of experience and knowledge. I am a bit of a noob at this, but I'm learning. I'll edit my post down to the fret spacing measurements lest it mislead those who read this later. Thank you for setting me straight.

Yeah, I'm no fan of reliced guitars. They're pretending that they are something they aren't. They haven't "earned" the status they display. Kinda like "Stolen Valor."

Differences in fret spacing on the first 3 frets for 24" and 24.75" scale lengths: 24" (1st) 1.347, (2nd) 2.618, (3rd) 3.818 from the nut 24.75" (1st) 1.389, (2nd) 2.700, (3rd) 3.938 from the nut

It means you can't order it online at all.

Y'all know you're not done yet, right? I'd be interested to know what problem it is that you have with putting a burst finish on a mahogany lamtop in the builder. Try it before you call me crazy.

Those tuner bushings that are dropping all the way in are straight bushings verses tapered bushings. In the comparison picture you can see the taper of the bushing on the left. Lovin' the black cherry metallic!

So would I. You can make a sub-short scale bass with almost any Warmoth guitar body. The baritone conversion neck has a 28.625" scale length, just like a Squire Mini-P bass. Labella winds flats for that bass. Order the body with no bridge rout. Warmoth can rout the pickup cavities for...
