Hi all. Before I criticize, let me just say that my RD 4 bass kit was well built, expertly shipped, and the PB team were great with answering emails. However; After two weeks of finishing my body and neck, putting the elephant ear tuners on the neck crapped the neck out! The included mounting screws broke off and had to be dug out of the headstock. This left gouges so bad, I scrapped the whole neck for a jazz bass replacement neck found on EBay. The machine head screws are probably Chinese made and very poor quality. I pre-drilled tiny starter holes and hand screwed. After almost in, SNAP ! Very dissapointed. I could have filled holes, huge after drilling out screw bodies, then sanded and re-stained, but the alignment of the heads was now also off. Again, love the PB bodies, but beware of the included hardware.
Cheers
