final assembly. bolt neck on body, placed copper tape for noise reduction. Pickup guard replaced by White pearloid from Pit bull guitar. Pot wiring was not as i expected somehow, so rewired as tone and vol configuration with installed Seymour duncan Antiquity.
There was gap between neck side and body, but due to clear coat, its gone! and looks like just "fit".

Long struggle was finally paid out. PB project completion with satisfaction, not because of perfect production, but of many learning with joy after painful work and long patience.
Just want to send appreciation to Adam for provision of this wonderful bass kit and to Mentors for precious advices and instruction, especially Simon, Waz, Frank and Wok.
I plan to play this bass on duty at my church nex month. till then i will adjust small configuration on strings, neck and frets.Finally my 1st project closed!

That's a wonderful result Toshi, I love that shine and that rich colour. Really great job you've done, you have to let us know how it sounds in your church concert!
