    Hi all, this is my first post to this community. Looking at the posts I can see this is an active and congenial community. I look forward to the interaction with other fellow luthiers!

    I bought the HB-4S 2 weeks ago and have been building it since day 1. The excitement was too much, so much so that I neglected starting a build thread. I will do a retrospective build diary soon.

    The HB-4S was built in conjunction my younger son who shown an interest in the bass. My older son now wants to build a Stratocaster with me and so I have ordered a ST-1. Look forward to starting that project once I have the HB-4S sorted.

    Welcome Tommy,
    I also built a kit with my 10 year old son and we had a blast. Great to have you aboard, and looking forward to reading the build threads.

    cheers,
    Gav.

    Welcome along Tommy and Cruë. HB-4's look spectacular, so you should get a cracker of a bass out if it... The ST's are also a great starter kit, so best of luck with the two builds!
