Yeah went with the aftermarket ones. Stock ones with kit were a little sloppy for my liking./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from wokkaboy on July 14, 2014, 11:31

Mind you I think I may have got a little carried away. Also changed the pickups, pickguard, bridge, strap buttons, and 3 way switch lol
Hey, if you have the money it's probably worth it. You are the one who wants to enjoy playing this bass after you've finished it, so it's better to make whatever changes are going to make that more likely.Quote from lunaticthighs on July 14, 2014, 15:32[/b]

Agreed^. I have upgraded almost everything for every build I've done. Totally worth it.

That was my thinking too. Always wanted a ric but could never justify the money they cost. Just don't tell the wife, used the "hey look how cheap this will be" excuse lol.
haha, a whole separate topic - how I hid the true cost from my significant other...

Been a bit busy of late so not much progress too show but managed to attach the neck over the weekend.
Wow she is looking amazing Alan. Both neck and body work so, so well together!
Can't wait to see all the hardware on there. Will you be filming us a sound demo? After seeing your build I want one of these very badly.
cheers,
Gav.

looks sweet Alan, can't wait to see it finished and a sound demo as think you must be the first to almost finish one of these kits. Nice looking upgrades, although its a bit unclear the pickups and bridge in the photo
