Bass Guitar Kit P-Style : Fantastic for the money

I had not even set up a guitar before this purchase and part of the reason for the purchase was to learn how to do this and hopefully have a credible spare bass at gigs.

Obviously the quality of the parts is not going to be on par with a £1000 plus bass but I was impressed with the body and neck. The electrics are ok but obviously an area where an upgrade could help. Neck was straight and the only real challenge in putting this together is to get the headstock into the desired shape. It is not hard but just takes a bit of care and patience. I researched about painting the body but in the end just sanded it to remove the layer of primer and used wood dye with a wax coating . After shaping the head stock and getting the body ready it was quick and easy to assemble. I would recommend lining the pick up bays with copper shield ...not supplied but easily obtainable.

The result was that I have a useful spare for gigs and a bass which I can play around with in terms of adding picks ups etc etc
