Ok...so I've discussed this loosely with
@Bridgehouse a couple of times, but never actually got round to committing to it.
Now I'm doing it. I want to build a stingray.
I've never done anything like this before, so I'll hopefully be starting with a body and neck then taking the simplest option at each turn from there.
This likely means an oil finish, pre cut nut etc and the simplest good sounding electronics and hardware I can find.
Suggestions please for anything and everything. I've already pm'd @GSPBASSES to see if he's got anything suitable, but I'll consider most options as I'm almost guaranteed to screw up my first build, especially as I'm one handed for the time being!

I’d get @TheGuitarWeasel to roll you a MM humbucker..
Rosewood or Maple board?

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youYou’ll then face the famous Stingray scratchplate dilemma - tort, black or white...
Get a 3 way so you have the series/parallel l/neck coil option, it's great.
Defo use ultralite tuners, if it's an ash body it's usually heavy enough already.
I'd opt for a lacquer finish on the body, a ray would look odd without it.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youYour life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.
