JBA-4 - First build - Grenoble

[Corentin38]

Hi everyone !

Fed up with my job, I bought a bass guitar kit in november 2018 in order to become the new Fender. Unfortunately, my job started to become interesting again and I left aside my bass kit for a few month, still cherishing the hope it represented, sitting in my living room.

As a starter, here are a few photos of what got out of the shipment.

• My first thought : "What the hell is that enormous scratch right on the middle of the body ?? How could they miss such defect ?"
• My first action : Fill the bridge mass tunnel with wood filler.

After a while, I read a few build diaries and found out that every single kit had the same "defect" a realized this hole had a purpose.

• My second thought : "I'm going to create a build diary"
• My second action : drill the bridge mass tunnel again

I think the kit is now fixed and back in the game.



The rest of the kit was really as expected. The pieces look good and as a beginner, I cannot notice anything bad or cheap. So I'm quite happy !

Next step : sanding sanding sanding sanding

PS: I'm working in my living without any suitable workshop or tools.

[I’ll give it a go]

Welcome and good luck with your build.

Welcome aboard Corentin38, good luck with the build.

Don't let the lack of a workshop or tools be a obstacle. I started with no workshop, no tools AND no talent! It hasn't stopped me from enjoying every moment of every build.

cheers
