Hi Tim, sure I'd like to help you get rid of one of these . I would like a bolt neck, no. 1 would be fine. Thanks. Rick.

I was finally able to put some finish on the neck. This time I used Crystalac BriteTone instrument finish. I have been using gloss finish on...

This is a pretty common issue, either with body/neck or pickguard/neck fitting. Easiest to round the corners, since it looks like your neck and...

I have used their clear coat. I was hoping it would work like the paint, but it doesn't. It's not an acrylic like the paint. Not as easy to level out...

Hi Trevor, Thanks for the response, that is what I was thinking I might have to do. I'm just a bit concerned about sanding the corners uneven and...

Hi and welcome Sarah. +1 for the MTN94 paint - I think some shops also sell the cans of clearcoat coat to go with it (I have not tried this!). ...

Welcome Sarah! If you go for the dark blue, I have had my best results with MTN 94 spray paint. It's available in art stores here in the US, and I...

Me too. Heavier than the kit wire, but not so heavy that I have to heat it long enough to cook the pots or caps ;-) Not a problem for everyone, but I...

+1 for changing the colour of the wires to match the circuit diagram. I also use a heavier gauge wire than the kit wire (so there is less chance...

First, if it were me, I'd get TD's instructions. He's actually done guitar building classes, and the guitar type should be the same. I am...

Hi Johhny, I have a set of step-by-step instructions for wiring this type of circuit (actually for the Single Cut type of kits). I used it for...

Hi and welcome KL1104. I would sand the end of the neck so that it will fit the pocket. I use 180 or 240 g sandpaper wrapped around a small block...

Thank you for the helpful reply! Much appreciated :)

Not really a noob question at all. I had worked on a number of guitars before I actually encountered one of these. What you have there is the...

I have mostly built basses. This is the current range that PB offers: https://www.pitbullguitars.com/bass-guitar-kits/ If there is something...

Thank you! And also yes kit building is tonnes of fun and seriously addictive. Are there any plans to sell any different types of bass guitar kits?

Kit building is lots of fun - and very addictive! I'm glad you have enjoyed the process.

This is the one on the PB website: https://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/PBG-2Hum4Pot%20v5.pdf I would ignore where it says the...

Great that you found a case that could fit with just a little modding! FWIW I found a fabric store that sells "fur" similar to what is in a guitar...

I butchered the foam in the case of a Charvel Star Bass with a knife to fit both basses now :D ok, I'll still have to unscrew the spikes at...

Thank you for telling me that issue! I was able to just switch the two and turn them around:

Yes, I was able to use a drill press with a colleague :-) I just needed the proper drill to pre-drill for the screws in the neck. ...

Perth was about 25 degrees today - so I got in another couple of coats for the body and neck. This will be the last coats. I will leave it a week...
