More bits...

I can't help it. The pickguard, and bridge cover arrived today, so I just had to lay them all out and see what it looked like so far... Pretty classy actually (or at least it would be without the skull sticker on there!). The perloid and the bridge cover look awesome. I even tried the bridge cover on my old P-bass and it looked AWESOME - I may have to get one for it. As far as anyone can remember they're just cosmetic, but they do look sweet.

The pickguard isn't a great match to the body - it's a little small in places, and barely covers the control cavity, but with a little wrangling it should all be ok. I didn't expect the scratchplate to be one of the parts that cause problems, but it's one of the simplest bits to bodge. All the important parts go together smoothly.

The pickups are from an old Warlock - I upgraded it do 1/4 pounders, but they should be ok in combination with the Mudbucker. I've still got a complete loaded body turning up at some point, so I could use the pickups from that, or maybe I'll leave that as it is - I thought I'd strip the second body for parts, but there are only a few bits I can use, so it's probably easier to leave it in one piece.
