Just bought my first kit! Got a EX-4 Bass for myself, and a GR1-SF for a friend of mine. I'm pretty good at woodworking, so hopefully this should go pretty smoothlyI've got some custom wiring planned and a few upgrades up my sleeve!

Welcome Nyanfloyd! I'm always fascinated when I hear "custom wiring" so really looking forward to following your build (which is code for make sure you start a build diary!!)
Completed Builds: #1 TL-1 "Telemaster" (GOTM Oct 2016); #2 The "Maplecaster" scratch build; #3 JB-4 "Bass IV" (co-winner GOTM Jan 2017); #4 ST-1M "Surfcaster" (GOTM Apr 2017), #5 JZA-1 "EC Deluxe"
In Progress:
Build #6 N1R "Semi-scratch" build
Build #7 JZA-1 Baritone
The Cavan Project
The Magnificent Compaņeros
As far as the wiring is concerned, my game plan is to split the coils on both humbuckers using a 6-way toggle switch and replacing one of the volume pots with an extra tone. And yes I will definitely be starting a build diary once my kit gets here!

Welcome to the forum. I'm very curious about your custom wiring and hopefully you'll share some diagrams with us.
Nr 1: Red Widow LP-1MQ (Finished) ->Diary<-
@Kick I'd be more than happy to share my wiring diagrams once I get them figured out. It also depends on whether or not the stock humbuckers can be coil split. If not I'll just install a standard 3 way switch and swap it out with the 6 way when I can afford better pickups.
