I think this is where I start for the diary. Thanks "Rabbit" for pointing me in the right direction.

So without further ado, I will attempt my first build of the Jazz Bass 4.

Initially my first impression of the kit arrival was exciting, and viewing all the components and the neck and body included, I am somewhat less excited but eager to make a start. After going over the body looking for any possible signs of glue marks, dents bad joinery etc, I resided to the final outcome of acceptable, and moved on to the neck checking for straightness and any problems that may be associated with it. There is a slight bow that starts at the 7th fret and a couple of raised frets that will be catered for at the later stages.
Very disappointed to find the neck plate holes are out of alignment to a degree where one will need to be filled and glued and re drilled, also that the plate sits off at an angle ??? I know the kit manufacturer would be using a template and likely a drill press but this looks like the template has slipped off angle and the holes were drill regardless, wheres the QC ?? First impressions, less exciting. Damn what do I do send it back ??? or reach into my work working skills and sort it out myself ????
