My TB-4 Bass Build

[lunaticds]

Upgrades certainly add up and give you incentive to put in some extra effort.Especially when the upgrades cost more than the kit each!

Certainly does.
It's weighed on my mind what I'd be looking at in a new bass if I brought off the shelf - what my expectations would be, and what I'd need to have in a bass that might make me want to pick it up over the Aerodyne. I can only achieve so much with this kit, but I'd like to hope at least with effort and quality components, I can come out with an instrument that would make me want to pick it up and play it. I've already got more guitars and basses than I know what to do with, so there needs to be that little "something special" about them.
