During may last phone order with Warmoth, I asked how thick the component mounting wall of the rear routed controll cavity is so i could plan, source, and buy a jack, pots, and switches with the appropriate bushing length. The saleman didn't know, so he put me on hold to ask the shop. "One-eighth inch" was his aswer. Knowing that 1/8th of an inch is a terribly thin piece of wood to drill and mount components on, I asked "ya sure it's not a quarter inch?" "The shop says 1/8-inch" was his reply.
So I built the bass with the body in question...Nope, the wall thickness ain't 1/8th. In fact, I was MORE than right. It's .280-inch thick.
Plan for this on your next rear routed build, folks. Standard bushing components won't work, eg: for the 1/4-inch jack, a good old switchcraft C11 won't raech through the wood, you'll need the longer L11.
