welcome to the forum Tom. Kit looks great. What are the plans for the build, stain or paint ? what colour you got in mind ? Any hardware upgrades ?

Always loved the Rickenbacker basses! Welcome and enjoy the build :)

Hi Tom and welcome. I've got family just a bit south of you in Cramlington. Good luck with your build.

Hi Tom, welcome.

From you profile pic it looks like you may have a little helper to give you a hand putting this together?

Cheers, Waz

Thanks all for the welcome. To reply to all, yes Crammy is just down the road Simon, going to build and upgrade bridge and I've always wanted an ashtray bridge cover and see how things sound before upgrading wok about and unfortunately that was a bit since and josh is 15 now wazkelly!

put ashtray bridge cover on, stained, sanded, oiled, sanded, stained, oiled, sanded, sanded and got a lovely finish. Also stained and waxed the finger board - now for buffing!

Looks good in a natural finish.
