My girlfriend's brother is a classically trained violinist/music teacher and mentioned that he wanted a 5 string fretless with no markers. I proposed that if I assembled one, he could pay by buying me the kit I had been eyeing for months. He agreed and I ordered the kits from the internet. My intent for my payment bass was a 50's style P bass (with a humbucker) with maple fingerboard. I ordered the "PBG-BN4MF FRETLESS MAPLE NECK W/MAPLE FRETBOARD FOR JB AND PB STYLE KITS" from Pitbull. I also ordered some black Gotoh Lollipop tuners and a black Gotoh bridge, they should arrive soon. I might put an additional humbucker at the neck position, as that was my original plan, but I haven't yet decided. I have dyed the body with a black/blue burst and coated with poly. I now have to wait 30 days for the poly to cure to finish sand and polish the body. This is my plan:
