The bargain bin ES-5

The trick is to start as many projects as possible and fiddle with little bits of each in 20 minute intervals on a rotating basis.
If you do that long enough then the 20 minute brackets add up to a completed guitar/project occasionally.
Its important to keep adding projects else you'll finish everything and then be left hollow, empty and forlorn.
And don't fall asleep; the clown will eat you.

Ah so thats where i fail. I only work on one project at a time, and yes there is a lot of depression inbetween waiting for parts to dry, orders to arrive.
So how many are the perfect number to work on?

Same as the optimum number of guitars/cars/bikes etc. N+1 to the upper limit of your significant other's patience.

Oh thats no problem, she encourages me to buy cos she likes me happy.
So maybe another 2 or 3 coming my way. Thanks for the good advice. Any advice on an easy bass to build? Never done one so its all uphill.

I did an IB-5, which you have seen, I found that quite a simple build and an aesthetically pleasing kit. To be fair though, despite the simplicity I did FrankenHack the heck out of it anyway, just 'cause why else would the 'Lab bother?

I think the JB kits are pretty low fuss builds from I've seen (Unless of course you want to make a fuss with them) but i've really not looked at the bass kits too hard. The only one i've really lusted after doing is no longer offered (ESB-4SC, full width body, single cut)
