Measure Twice - Glue Once.....

Look at that thing...It's beautiful, isn't it?
Yeah, except for the fact that it's TOTALLY FREAKING WRONG!!!!

'Member back in that first post when I said something about I make lots of mistakes? 'Member?...you...me...Dick Hale? 'Member?
For some reason I thought I had properly measured the scale length of this bass, which is 34" (yes, totally different than a Rickenbacker bass' 33.5"), and for some reason I THOUGHT that the Ricky's redonkulously massive bridge would be just squeaking into the overall length of the neck blank......

long story short, I done F'd up.

Glued the body wings on a good inch and half rearward of where they need to be. Should of re-measured. Should have payed attention.

oh boy......
