Hi All
Just in case anyone is interested but doesn't delve into the Making and Modding section very often, I've just completed the build of a Chris Squire Mouradian style 4 stringer.
There is a build summary thread here.
To my shame, I wasn't aware of the original until a Basschat member approached me to build him a tribute, in cream. It's VERY 1980's!
The chamber at the back is to house a Smoothhound wireless Tx - the owner wanted it invisible from the front but fully accessible from the back. Normal cable can be used also:
Spec is:
34" scale
Mahogany body, chambered
Maple / Rosewood / Maple neck
Rosewood fretboard
MoP swift inlays (my logo)
Magnetic catches on control chamber and truss rod cover
Schaller lightweight tuners
DiMarzio Model One neck; Warmouth MM overwound bridge
Passive with 3 way switch, 2 vols, 2 tones with series / parallel / split for each pickup
Thanks for looking!
Andy

I'm sure the late Mr. Squire would have been impressed.
...and yes - I've corrected my spelling!
The main thing, though, is that the owner has now had a proper play in full band context and is exceptionally pleased with it
