Hi everyone,
First timer on a forum (anywhere) and first time Pit Bull build. I have chosen a HB-4 bass kit, have built a few other guitar kits (not Pit Bull) but never one with a set neck so any advice would be appreciated. Opened the kit and did a mock build as suggested, found everything except the glue, is this normal and if so what do I use ?
Looking forward to a great experience.
Regards,
David6620

Hi David,
welcome to the forum. I have driven through Apollo Bay a number of times, very beautiful town.
Nice kit the HB-4. You need some Titebond glue available from most good Hardware stores.
Start a build diary and ask any questions you have there

Welcome to the forums David. Apollo Bay - that's next door to the Otway National Park, the only place I've seen koalas in the wild!

Welcome David. I really dig those violin basses, they sound great too. A very warm and rich bass sound. As for the glue, what waks, Stan and Keloooe said. LOLz. Keep us posted on your progress. Cheers!
