Hi from Ole Melbourne town

Hi everyone,
I've been meaning too join the forum for a few weeks as I've had my ESB-4 kit for about the same time.
This is my first build and I chose this kit because I was about to pull the trigger on a Hofner ignition Bass (for song writing mainly but also to help me celebrate my 40th-) but came across PBG in my searches and thought better of it..
The amount of awesome builds and fantastic support in this community really helped with the decision.
Heading to the build diary to upload photos of my progress.
Cheers,
Damo

welcome to the forum Damo,
look forward to seeing the build diary how the progress is going.
Of course ask as many questions as you like in your build diary. There's heaps of knowledge and experience on the forum

Hey Damo, welcome to the forum!
Start a build diary so we can all follow the build with you and give plenty of advice. Any questions, feel free to ask, there is no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer and with all of the experience here in multiple areas, those stupid answers are hard to come by.
There's a few of us here in Melbourne (me included) who are popping up on the forum!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
Is it normal to get hooked on building guitars after not even completing one build yet? Haha..
Contemplating next build already!! My wife may never see me again..

haha yes Damo everyone on the forum gets that feeling of which kit next. It's called GAS/BAS = Guitar/Bass Aquisition Syndrome

[wokkaboy]
