    Hey up!

    Ello everyone
    Thought I would say hello and give abit of an intro. First Bass kit build as stumbled across Pitbull site by accident and have wanted to give this a try for a while. I’ve only been playing bass for a few years and was a late (really late!)starter but love the things and have built up abit of a collection (or as others call them ,a load of old bass guitars). I usually just pick up unloved basses from pawn shops, gumtree and ebay and clean, repair and set them up properly so this is a first for me. Really looking forward to getting stuck in, stuffing things up and learning some new skills. Any help or tips for building aTB4 would be awesome.
    Cheers

    If you're used to repairing and rescuing instruments already then you'll have most of the skills and experience you need already, have fun!

    Welcome! It's great playing instruments you have put together yourself, isn't it? At least when they stay in tune and work.......
