Bass Guitar Kit J-Style : Good starter kit

Bought the kit out of interest for bass playing after a good experience with the T-style guitar kit.

Initial assembly was easy and took about an hour, after which the bass was ready to play. Out of the box it is a fairly playable instrument. After preliminary assembly and playing I took the kit apart for painting and some hardware upgrades, after which it became a really nice instrument. The neck needed quite a lot of fret leveling, but it was a good learning experience to get fretwork practice.

All in all you can get a working instrument for less than 100¤, but to get the most out of the kit, hardware modifications are recommended. In the end I changed out all of the electronics and hardware except for the body and neck. I would recommend this kit to somebody who needs an affordable instrument with possibilities for future upgrades.
