Bass Guitar Kit P-Style : Fantastic DIY Kit

NECK AND BODY:

The first thing I noticed was how well the neck was fretted. Incredible job, zero complaints. Perfect fret ends and perfectly level across the board.

Next, the body - you'll always need to do a bit of sanding whenever you get a DIY kit and this is no exception. It's not the prettiest wood, but I wasn't expecting a beautifully grained swamp ash body - and if you are expecting that, do yourself a favor and be realistic.

All the pieces fit perfectly - there's no need to adjust even any of the holes on the pickguard.

HARDWARE:

Very solid hardware. Everything works, the tuners tune, the bridge saddles move forwards and back, up and down... Nothing to complain about whatsoever.

ELECTRONICS:

The kit comes with a prewired split-coil P-bass pickup that sounds incredibly decent and plugs right into the wiring.

I'm not thrilled about the pots used, but that's my personal preference - the stock pots work perfectly fine.

PROS:

Price, build and very decent quality components.

CONS:

Not a fan of the potentiometers that come stock. The shielding on the pickguard could cover a larger area - but really isn't necessary.

GENERAL:

All in all - a fantastic DIY kit I highly recommend and will be buying more of for myself. The pros outweigh the negligible cons, and the value is incredible. 5 stars.
