    My first build - JB4

    Hi All, Started my first build, a JB4 Bass kit. Did a mock build to see if everything was there and if the parts fit as they were supposed to.

    Everything looks good and I was impressed with how tight the neck fitted.

    Good to see you wearing a mask! By now just about everyone in most states should be used to it!

    Have Asthma so I use a mask when working anyway but only one I had in the house was a medical mask. Guess a trip to Bunnings is in order to get something more suitable.

    I don't know if they have upped the price due to mandatory mask wearing, but they *had* dropped their price on N95 masks from $25 for 5 to $5 for 5. For sanding, you don't realy need to go to a cartridge respirator
