I haven't done anything this year to speak of. All my oomph disappeared back in May when my daughter - for whom the bass was intended - dropped a financial bomb on us and the quacks hobbled me with meds they needed me to take to cover their arses. I did start some panelling for the hall but that's on hold until the tools in the workshop are warmer than the stuff in our fridge.
Good luck with all that. Hopefully you'll be able to crack on soon.
Just a word on building through necks - I may be teaching you to suck eggs, but get the bridge you want to use before you start so you can get your neck break angle sorted early doors. It will save a whole world of pain later.
Here's the Thunderbird I'm building - fretboard thicknessed, bridge acquired, neck break angle machined in:
Even if you buy a bridge designed for something with no break angle (eg Fender style bolt on) I'd still put in a tiny angle. Every bolt on guitar/bass I've ever owned has needed a shim in the neck pocket to get the action down to something playable....
