Yeah that's annoying. The neck pick up route is pretty big too, finding a nice surround that will work might be tricky.
At least its bass wood, its easy to work with. This is part of the fun really, there is a lot of work that goes into getting a nice guitar out of a kit that isn't instantly obvious.
Because you are painting you will get away with a lot of changing things around. Just take your time prepping up the fills and repairs and it'll look great.
