    Cool My First Build - TB-4

    Hello BuildYouOwnGuitar Forum!

    New member here, how you all doing?

    Finally got my teeth into one of these kits! Honestly been thinking of building for so long but now is my time.

    Literally got my package 2 days ago, and thanks to work commitments, just have it sat in the corner of the room. But alas, the weekend is almost here so time to get into it!

    Gotta say the wood for the body and neck are wonderful, very smooth cuts.

    Peace out

    We have progress!!

    Hey BYOG Forum!

    Back with a little update. So finally the weekend got here and started to get to work on the bass. Sanded the body down getting it nice a smooth. Got the primer completed, started tonight with the first main coat (repping an arctic white colour me thinks!).

    Got a long road still to walk, but loving it so far. Nice to get the old hand dirty with a project!
