Hello Fellow Travellers - 1st time bass builder JB-5RF

Hi Everyone,
yet another 1st time builder here ...
I've been playing bass for a long time, and have always loved the sound of fretless instruments, but I've never owned one.
Finally thought I'd do something about it and have recently received my JB-5RF kit.
I'm excited about the project ... hoping to end up with an instrument that I'm proud of and that sounds great too.
Fingers crossed!

It's also great to see so much collected wisdom in the threads on this site ... I'm bound to have some questions!!

Rob :-)

welcome to the forum Rob, great kit to build, actually no one has done a build diary yet on a 5 string JB.
Start a build diary and please post some pics of the kit you scored.
Fretless bass is the way to go I'm a convert, the speed bumps don't sound anywhere near as good !

Ask any questions you have in the build diary and good luck !

Hey Rob,

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome Rob.

welcome Rob, enjoy the madness

Hi Rob, and welcome to the forums. Another recent covert to the fretless bass here. Once you've tried it there's no going back.

Welcome Rob, look forward to seeing your build diary.

Hmmm, these bass players are beginning to swarm...............

Welcome ThreeBbass!

They have been drawn by the fretlessness...if you build it they will come.......

There can't be enough bottom end. Welcome along Rob.
