great looking kit Ads and some nice options with the four different options.
Hard to see the photo of the bridge whether the holes are reflections but looks like there are no string holes on the back plate. Assuming its not a string through bridge and the 6 holes are for mounting.
Also I would double check the neck measurements
Neck specs: 42mm@nut, 55mm@5th fret, 65mm@12th fret and 72mm@20th fret
55mm at 5th fret seems too bigger jump ->13mm wider than the nut.
Although it may be correct

There are string holes in the rear part of the bridge. They're a little hard to see, but they're there.

ah I think I can see the string holes cheers Pabs. Hard to see with the shiny reflections of the 6 mounting holes

Great kits. I especially like the fretless rosewood fretboard. My fretless conversion has taken so long I should have waited for these lol, but, I do have fret markers useful for a bass hack like myself!

Could it be that we are now thinking of, nay, are compelled to procure and turn this
into a five wire version of this classic of Jaco's?
Better tell the mini buzzard that her piggy bank maybe about to enrol at weight watchers!
Damn you Pitbull!!!!!
Just completed turning a ST1-JR into a short scale bass with Miss 8 as co-pilot

Just a shame how big the neck PUP rout is as that prevents you from getting the same naked look as that reliced J Bass shown above.
I hear you Waz, looks similar to the tele pup neck pup cavities you could fill it with water and go for a swim on a hot day.
If you had some basswood offcuts you could glue a block in the neck cavity and route the J style pup route I spose if you wanted the non pickguard look

That then creates other problems if going for a timber stain.
Why oh why does the factory have to do this to both the J Bass and Tele as it limits a lot of creativity. Surely they could do a better job of doing it right.
