So I had a “finger through the toilet paper while wiping “ day 
Thought I would polish the Flying V today and then maybe begin to assemble it.
All initially went well until I noticed a finger mark in the finish ! Closer inspection revealed several more not only on the body of the bass but also the headstock. The clear coat should have been dry , I should have noticed a sludge buildup on the wet/dry paper ( still can’t see it) but it wasn’t to be and I’m looking at stripping the paint and starting again 
To add a little more pain to the situation I managed to bounce the fly screen door off of the bass body and leave two nice dings in it.
And then I realised that among all the stuff I had laid out in front of me I was missing the basses pickups!
I’ve now spent the rest of the evening tearing the house apart but to no avail.
I’m now thinking I might have thrown them out with the box.
I’m consoling myself with a large tub of ice cream and considering my options
