thanks Brett, you have done a fantastic job, I've built an IB-5 and was amazed at the results these ash bodies give. Your finishing technique has worked a treat, can't wait to see this bass buttoned up !

hey guys
i played my bass today!!!it sounds amazing. really happy with the progress so far. few minor little things to fix but its playable atm.
i have come into a few lil hick ups. the back cavity plate isnt big enough for the cavity. i ordered a set of EMG-X pickups but recieved one emg-x and one normal still went with it anyway sounds great.the guitar jack that came with the kit was crackly as one of the tabs was half broken. the guitar knobs that come with the kit dont fit the Emg pots(smooth shaft).
Nice job . I have just started an IB-5 great kit.
The control cover plate doesn't fit on mine either.
But still a great kit
still few little things to do but its pretty much there
Looks sweet. I am thinking I may build one of these at some stage.
great looking finish, these look simple and cool, nice work

Top job, Brett! Super sweet finish you've achieved on it ... another serious contender for a GOTM title!
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
Wow, superb job. The colour is just right and the grain is really popping. Nice work!
Cheers,
Gavin.

Did the EMG pickups fit the cavities without any routing? I'm about to do a IB-5 myself, and want to upgrade pups, just don't know what will fit yet.
thanks
Wow. The stain and grain are gorgeous. The issues you're having are not insurmountable so it's going to be a beast very soon. Great job, man!
