    Hi Ruben, welcome to the forum and nice looking kit you scored.
    as others have said choose the bridge carefully so I wouldn't go over 17mm string spacings or the B and G strings will be too close to the edge of the fingerboard.
    See the Ibanez pictured has the 3 tuning pegs on the treble side of the headstock (PBG has 3 on the bass side)
    For staining rag try get some lint free cloth, otherwise if the t-shirt is pretty fine grade it will be fine for staining.

    Thanks mate.
    yep definitely will measure up first and check the string spacings.
    wonder y that is different??...just that particular bass or what? guess its not gonna make a whole load of difference given the A string will be basically in the middle of the stock anyway, or the middle of the fretboard.
    I've got some 100% cotton old t-shirts that ive been using to brush off the dust from sanding. Might give these a wash and give them a go.
    I'll kyp...im fired up to do this thang!
