    EX-5 Bass Kit Build

    Finally finished my Explorer Bass Build. Took sometime getting in the parts for my modifications and getting the action right with the extra height on the bridge, but got there with the help of shims ! Really pleased with the result !

    looks great Metal Rulez, can we please have some closeup pics of the body and the logo ? The neck plate looks cool did you buy that as is or somehow stick the label on yourself ? Also a close up of the neck inlays would be cool. Are they stickers ?

    Thank you WokkaBoy. I purchase the neck plate and the inlays are stickers.
