How many strings do you want to use? I would use a fret board of some sort to make it stronger I used a
mag pickup but a piezo might be more CBB ish I also use only two strings but thats all a bass really needs...lol

Love the pictures mate, it looks quality. Whats it like to play?
I was wanting to use 4 strings and it to be fretless. I was wanting it to be like a standard issue bass, only in Cigar box form, if you know what I mean.
My advice for a super strong neck is to use TWO pieces of that oak glued together, making a 2x2 which will probably be 1.5x1.5". This is what I began doin with poplar almost from the beginning. This way you can use the edge of the boards as the fretboard instead of the face of the board, making the whole rig incredibly strong. You can then carve or cut away what is not needed and you can also carve out the headstock and heel without any sort of scarf joint or glueing on more wood. You can also add a fretboard to this and have a neck that is pretty much indestructable! God bless!
