I am currently waiting to receive my neck from warmoth. here are some pictures; let me know what you think!!!

now jerry only did not have any volume or tone knobs, i like to have those so i decided to hide them. i constructed a cover for my electronics but also encorperated a strat jack plate. the cover is on the back of the guitar so is the jack therefor keeping the front of the bass clean. the knobs are hidden in the bass, inside a pocket that is kept open.. also on the back.. youll see what i mean

now a little idea a friend gave me. he noticed that the knobs were being held by clear plexiglass so if i put some lights in the electronic cavity the pocket for the knobs would light up!! here i took a picture using a quick setup of leds and a battery pack. if anyone knows how to wire the lights so they come on when i plug the jack in, it would be nice to let me know how to do this.
here is a pic of the idea
