Nice. All the work you did on the body looks seamless - I can't see any indication that you'd routed there.
I hadn't appreciated quite the extent of what you were doing with the headstock. I know nothing about basses at all. This is going to be an eight string? That is to a normal bass what a 12 string is to a guitar - is that right? Are the extra tuners you've fitted banjo tuners?

Yep! It's got a set of lightweight Sadowsky tuners and a set of Schaller banjo tuners!
My predicament now is that if I do dowel the octave A and D and redrill them there will be no space at all for my decal which I've managed to shoehorn on so I might try and make up some Gibson Moderne style string retainers todirect the strings... bit of a cop out but it is a lot of kit on a small headstock!
Edit: I also need to sand the neck again and refinish it as I used too coarse a grit and missed a few small patches of lacquer. I'll give it a good fine sand and redo it next weekend!

Lots more to do still but it's starting to look like a thing!
Think I might need to redo the octave A and D as the tuner layout looks like it's going to be problematic and a string tree might be a stretch but it's getting there 😊
