    I'm actually moderately heartbroken. I literally sold two guitars to buy a kit. :( Ah well. Maybe the factory could have better luck making conversion necks for guitars and basses? A 30" conversion...

    LaBella makes nickel, stainless steel, and flatwound strings for Bass VI guitars. I've tried them and love them. They also apparently make tapewounds for Bass VI, but I haven't tried them, and I...

    +1 for Little Horn. Maybe a side output jack, instead of trying to cram it all on the top. The more I look at it, the more it's growing on me, though... But will 100+ people order the kit...?

    $400 is only a set of pickups short of a Mexican Fender. $800 is more than some PRS SE models. I just don't see it working out, unless you can reduce the cost by just not including hardware besides...

    I haven't ever seen a battery box cavity made using a drill before, that's an interesting way to do it. I kind of want to try that now. I really like the headstock, as well- very MM-ish.

    Update: no kit yet, and no word of shipment.

    Rations are running low.

    The future seems bleak.

    Waiting for a custom kit is awful.

    Why did I do this. Why didn't I just order an RCA-4. Why...

    Yeah my bass is all mahogany. It isn't gonna sound or look like a traditional Ric by any means. I just want it to be easier to get parts to help it have some Ric vibe to it. Custom cut parts eat up...

    Yeah, that pickguard is gonna conceal that insane grain pattern. I'd just trim it down to omit the center bit between the pickups and call it a day.
