I put her together today. The headless part is a pain....had to replace the E string with another A string to get the string through the top of the headstock. The E string lip where that fat section tapers down would not pass through the mount and there was not enough adjustment at the bum end.
Have to say that the Overlord of music bridge is an interesting effort in futility to get in the right location, mount, get strings on, and adjust.
I did not notice that this neck has a zero fret and no nut until I started to add strings. This may prove interesting to get a low action with.
Intonation is the next issue.....the zero fret to 12th fret measurement was 432mm. I allowed an extra 5mm for the run to the bridge saddles....and even then it was not enough to get the big adjusters out in the space at the bottom of the guitar. I had to go back about 12mm all up. I hope that once I get the string height etc down....the intonation is close.
Pic 1 is a headless bass kit neck photo with a nut. (Google search of one from an E-Bay listing.)
Pic 2 is the kit neck with a zero fret.
Pic 3 is the TIGER in her glory.
