Thanks John and Phrozin - unfortunately everything guitar related is on hold in the lead up to Christmas. My wife rented our house out as a holiday rental which means I have to do all the home...

Freeway switch looks interesting! Better figure out if I can actually solder an input and and earth before I get too excited though.
Yep, got the copper tape thanks to a generous Adam (I forgot to add it to the order and he threw it in for me to avoid costing me extra on shipping)
Such a big hole to cover - almost wondering if...

Thanks Brendan - I usually play a mates Made in Japan Jazz Bass. Seems to do the job but it’s so damn heavy. Figure a P Bass would do most of the same tricks with a bit less weight.

Thanks Wokka, will do. Already looks like such a good spot to get expert advice. Looking at a J or P Bass kit when I take the plunge - mainly because I don’t have a bass so it will be easier to...
Hey team,
Just a post to say hello. Been lurking for awhile, looking at grabbing a project for my 6 week university holiday. Getting a bit of a sense that a full kit build is something that...
