Bass Guitar Kit J-Style : Fun prodject with a decent bass

Body:

-The body needed a lot of sanding and putty before I could paint it.

-The wood is also really soft and light. This means it dents easily and the bass has quite a lot of neck dive.

-The predrilled holles were drilled in the correct position but the holes for the strap buttons were too big for the screws so I had to use bigger screws.

Neck:

-The neck was finished well. The fretboard needed a bit of cleaning

-The frets were 100% perfectly level and perfectly crowned, the did however need polishing and the fret ends needed rounding (they were not sharp but I prefer rounded fret edges).

-The nut was cut correctly.

-The neck fitted very tight in the neck pocket.

Hardware:

-All the hardware works, the tuners aren't super smooth but they do the job.

-I can't comment much on the sound of the pickups because I'm new to bass guitar. I don't know how they should sound. But I think they sound just fine.

Conclusion

I give this bass a 7/10

It is a perfectly functional and good looking bass but it has neckdive and the body dents easily. I also needed some different screws than they provided to assemble the strap buttons.
