It looks like I will have some down time coming up in October and have started some planning on my third fretless build.
The kit arrived a few months ago but I was very busy between work and other projects.
This is the kit out of the box without any hardware
and this is with the kit hardware
There are some things that I like about this bass, like the body shape, the grain on the fretboard.. and there are some minor but fixable things that I don't like at all, like the white plastic pick guard, the white plastic truss rod cover (not pictured, just too ugly!) and the black plastic electronic cover at the back of the bass (will make my own).
The bass body is very light and feels nice.
The bridge is made of a very light timber.. very charming but no way to ground it.. it will be interesting to tune this instrument when I'll get there. The bridge it's just floating and will stay in place under the tension of the strings.
