Sorry - the pointer knob is only for 1/8 shaft size. The pan/blend pot is only available in 1/4 without a lengthy custom order (currently they take 4-6 months to custom make a pot), so I don't think it is possible for your order.

Mica,
 
For the mods on my Spoiler, we discussed a non-click panpot, and you mentioned such a one could be done with the 1/8 shaft?

That is again a custom part, only this time made by my father. Since Shim's bass has to be completed by the end of this month, there is no chance that the part can be made in time. Plus there is an additional cost involved for something that in my opinion is not terribly useful, since you loose the center click reference.

ok, Mica I got it. So Can you show me the outlay of my electronics like in post #61?  
 
And I decide to get the 0/4/8 dB toggles.  
 
Please answer it~~

shim

Mica, I want to know when you can show me the electronics layout, and progress of building my bass. Please answer it. ^-^

mica

I'll work on the layout for you tonight. I'll do the artwork on your actual bass.

This is your bass in carving on Monday. At that time, there was still a couple hours of work left to do:  

 

 

  Now the carving is finished and the bass is ready to route for the electronics. Check the changes area late tonight for an updated control layout. Routing is scheduled for Friday, which will also be the day the first coat of sealer will be sprayed.

Can I see the front of my bass? I want to see the whole grain of my bass. Thanx Mica~~~!!!

Thanx Jim~!!! I maybe really love my bass. Thanx a lot.

I'll send you a front photo tomorrow with the control layout. I'm sorry, but I wasn't able to take the photo today before I left work.

Mica, Change the signature option.
 
Not include my initial. Just date and Ron's signature.  
 
If you see this, Please answer it. Thanx.

Here's the control layout from what I understand in your post #61:

  And with labels:

  Putting the pan where the pickup selector was looked too cramped I think.   Let me know if this is what you had in mind.

The position of Pan Knob is not correct. It should be in the position of pick-up selector in http://www3.alembicguitars.com/img/inst/13465_controlsL.jpg
 
So, It should be located in between bass and treble, and more upper level. Can you understand?  
 
I mean,like in http://www3.alembicguitars.com/img/inst/13465_controlsL.jpg , Pan knob of my bass should be located in same position of pick-up selector.
