maybe i can get a job in wood shop and help finish my bass........ just call me shim

The part of the wood you were discussing with Susan earlier today won't fit the peghead in any sort of a graceful way:

  Bob had selected a nice all-over Quilty piece for the front peghead veneer:

 As usual, it's way nicer looking than the snapshot!

mica- peghead is fine
but please see my email
before i enter the twilight zone again
;-)

how we doin mica?

can i get an update mica?
thanks

Sure thing! Since last Thursday when we exchanged emails last, my dad completed the programming for the CNC machine to cut the neck pocket for the body. That means that early next week Bob will run a test body on the new program and we can test fit the neck. If everything's A-OK, then he'll be able to get Scarlet's body routed and do the gluing of the neck to body.

Also, the neck shaping fixture was completed:

 and the neck taper was shaped. Now we have your favorite medium scale neck dimensions available for any set neck bass. Cool, huh?  The peghead veneers glued up:

om the way my friend

Here's that layout of the cuts we discussed a couple of days ago. Bob made the template for the cuts on the NC machine from the program that will be cutting the pockets. As you know I thought he'd already cut the covers out, but he was of course more wise and waited to make sure we'd have the best registration of parts.  
 

 
One other thing we discussed that you should take note of is the space between the truss rod cover and the neck pickup is smaller than on the DW because the set neck truss rod cover is larger. The distance from the end of the fingerboard to the neck pickup is the same though.  
 
At this point, we're going to wait to hear your approval that these postions are indeed what you want before any more slicing happens. There's only one shot with stuff like pickup covers.

its a frkn shame to put the neck on- that spot is so cool..
the truss rod placement is the same as scooter-
no problems there
neck pu is fine
bridge pick up? still weak in the knees- only god knows how much it will affect the sound
but it looks like i will be right over the pu when playing with a pick
so lets go with this as presented
 
whattyua mean one shot? run out of glue? lmao

She means that you only get one chance while the wood is going under the knife.
