But more expensive than a whole one.

[BigJim]

Is that for the over 50's?

everything pre-drilled and solderless? it's hardly "expressing yourself by building your own bass" is it, a bit like the Wright brothers playing with Airfix kits. It looks like all you're doing is building someone else's bass....

[Hobbayne]

I wonder if they supply the hacksaw to cut out the headstock shape?

Besta luck with it. I'm sure you'll find some parts of the kit that need "upgrading"... hope the wallet's up to the bashing!

No it's not, but it's a bl**dy good place to start. Getting used to the techniques and technical requirements before introducing self-expression is key to learning successfully (a bit like playing).

So, how long before we see a load of badly sprayed P-bass copies with wonky shaped headstocks on eBay as "custom build"?
