Hello, I'm a 15 year old from Perth WA. Me and my dad ordered this 6 string bass kit and it arrived a few weeks ago and we're about to get started. Neither of us have actually built a guitar before, so wish us luck and no doubt we'll be having a few questions.
Welcome aboard!

Hi and welcome 6string.
good luck with the build. Great to see more from Perth.
Welcome. What a great project. You will have something awesome and unique when you are finished. I'm doing my first build too, it's a great experience. Like FrankenWashie said ask questions and post pictures here, you will get great advice which will make the project go smoothly and get the best result.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing how it goes
Welcome! More Perthians is always a good thing! Looking forward to seeing the build!
Thanks for all the replies, we've done a mock build and taken it all down. We've also started to apply the finish (Tung Oil) to the body and neck of the bass. When assembled it the action was a bit high at the nut & down towards the bridge but we will measure & post this once its back together.
Looks nice! Good colour too
