I concur, as it was myself that made this suggestion. :)

@stollie many thanks. That's a good choice for frets and nut. Of course, the tuner holes only have one option for the SSB neck. And roasted maple, you do not need to have a finish.

It looks okay to me what is visible, though you might want to order a neck plate, neck screws and neck plate pad and other basic hardware in the same order. One other thing to consider is if you were to go with EMG Active J pickups, which have solderless cable connections, you would then...

I had not a single knock on my door. I guess I will have to treat myself...

You should definitely go with which way round feels right for you. I am left-handed, but actually play guitar “right handed” which seemed more natural to me and was a personal choice.

Take a look also at the Welcome to the Forum thread linked in my signature, that in turn has lots of links to build threads, threads with useful information etc.

Welcome to the forum. It certainly sounds like an SSB may be well worth considering.

A lot of the earlier build threads had images hosted on Photobucket. Fortunately, I had local copies and updated my threads using Flickr to host the images. It is definitely worth having local storage as well as cloud based. Of course, local storage does not help host images for serving content.

I cannot cite any examples of anyone doing that, though the mathematics involved and the evidence you have found support that it will work.

FYI. Imgur are now blocking all content from showing up in my region of the world, namely the UK. Anyone in the UK who has an account with them is no longer even able to log in.

They are not going to fit without modification to the rout. Compare below. From EMG pickups the longer dimension is 109mm versus 102mm for the Warmoth rout. https://www.emgpickups.com/pub/media/Mageants/e/4/e4_e5_e6_bass_0230-0389ra.pdf https://warmoth.com/bass-pickup-routs

He will be meaning 1.75" for the length of the screw, not metric thread spacing.

Why are people discussing strap buttons, when there is barbed wire to discuss, or is that for the cage match?

To wire two pickups in series, the negative of one pickup needs to be connected to the positive of the next. That means if there is no separate shielding wire as the negative would need to be dedicated for the series connection in certain switch positions and not in others, you will have noise...
