This will be my second build, but my first PBG build.
Will now be playing in a more familiar territory with only 1 neck and 4 strings.
The kit is fantastic , all the parts are there the body and neck look great and everything fits well.
Did a basic mock up with the parts I will be keeping .
Will be replacing some of the hardware with after market parts, which shall be posted as the build moves along.
Will start with sanding, sanding and sanding, and start defretting the neck.
You have been hanging around DB too long!

LOL yes Gavin, but it is a positive influence and Fretless basses are so damn sexy.
Things are progressing a good afternoon of sanding,sanding, sanding, then some more sanding just for good measure.
The body is coming up a treat. Just got to wait for the mail man now for my goodies. Then I can drill some holes, then wudtone. During this waiting time I can start on the next and its defretting and reMOPing.. Fun times
neck was defoliated today with the plastic nut , frets and fret markers removed.Behold tbe fretless beauty
Neck was then sanded and leveled.
New Mop inlays are now been placed and organized for gluing
Now waiting for more goodies
Beautiful work Tim... Where'd you get the MOP inlays for the frets?

Yep mop supplies would be a good guess
Nice start, very neat idea.
The most fun job I had so far this week.... removing speed humps off a Bass neck
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
