Ken,
Is the hole nearer to the top or the back? How was the back edge in that area?

The hole was towards the front.

The back edge looked fine I believe but the center strip was falling apart at the bottom. Arnold repaired the center down there.

I am kind of busy between work and playing the bass. When the web page is up, I will post the link but, it will be the same page as now, just modified with new pics.

I played it last night after a few personal tweaks (I had to force myself to put the bass down and go home as 2am was rolling around). I wish all basses had this kind of tone. The new neck is beautiful and the bass plays so easy. Now I have to start practicing to get used to the bass and be worthy of owning an instrument like this to play personally.
