So I've finally decided to take the plunge and actually do a Warmoth build. I'm pretty sure about the main parts, but there are a couple of minor questions I have, plus I'd like confirmation from the awesome people on this forum that all the parts will actually go together with each other and I won't just be stuck with a lot of weird shaped pieces of wood and metal.
The body: http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/sc_guitar_bodies.cfm?itemnumber=BP396
Drilled for Gotoh 201; VVTI controls; 1/2" side jack.
The neck: http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/sc_guitar_necks.cfm?type=bass&itemNumber=BN1756&menuItem=5&subMenuItem=0&subMenuItem2=0
6105 frets; White corian nut installed; Satin finish.
The rest of the hardware is gonna be a Gotoh 201, GB7's and Schaller straplocks, all in black.
Electronics wise, I was gonna go with a bartolini preamp + pickups, but here is where problems arise. Will Warmoth rout for a battery box on a finished body? If not, would it be possible to cut out a hole for the battery box in the rear rout cover plate, or is there some easier way of doing it?
Do the normal guitar neck plate and screws fit the warmoth bass neck socket? (http://www.warmoth.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=25199 and http://www.warmoth.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=30711)
Is the top input hole on a jazz the same size the same size as a normal control hole? It looks like it, but I can't seem to find any measurements anywhere.
Would all the electronics fit in the cavity with the deep panel jack and the battery box?
Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance for any help.
