Bass Guitar Kit J-Style : good enough Jazz Bass kit

This kit is a good buy for it's price / quality ratio.

The body I has been finished pretty well, made up of 3 pieces, having a nice grain to the texture.

The neck also came in a good gondition and finish, but having a very long scratch along the fretboard, under the frets which means the scratch has been made in the fabrication process, looked over this issue and the frets were just pushed in, overlooking this issue.

The Roseacer substitute for Rosewood (or heat treated maple) isn't one of the best looking woods. It has a roasted ash like texture to it, and it gives the feel of being painted.

Besides these imperfections, the sounds from the pickups are very good for their price range (probably very low, mass-produced) so the pickups save the overall quality of the bass.

The neck fits loosely in the neck pocket but with the pickguard mounted before, I could get a snug fit.

Setup wasn't an issue, trussrod worked well.

However for a very low action playability, the frets needed leveling.

Overall it is a nice and playable instrument, although some things aren't very pleasing about it.
