As the resident (?) Yank here, my perspective is different, but I will say I'm only here because PBG's stock was so vast; this was the only reputable site in the world I could find a bass kit that wasn't a four-string J- or P- bass copy. I originally was looking for a five-string (non P- or J-) and found the IB-5 via Google. Looking further in your stock of basses, I found, and purchased, the IB-6S.

With the favorable US/AUD exchange rate, the IB-6S kit, with AU$60 shipping, was still a reasonable cost for me. If it was $50 more, I probably would have still bought it, however. I also know that my build thread on TalkBass has generated a lot of interest from non-Australians, so having a wider range of basses in stock could be good for PBG (and my next planned build is a RC-4, which I can only get from PBG).

I'd rather pay a few extra dollars to order something unique from halfway around the world, rather than not have that opportunity.
