    Hi from South Coast NSW Aust

    My guitar mentor from Florida ("the gator wrestler" AKA eS.G.) recently introduced me to PB.
    Looks like PB has a good line of products and given my GAS problem may save me many $$$.

    Welcome along. I think for me the best thing is actually understanding what's under the bonnet of my bass... If you settle on a build / or have any questions about the different kits - feel free to post the question - I'm sure you'll get an answer pretty quickly.

    Brendan, I suspect you're correct about getting under the bonnet.
    Member eS.G. named me "cork sniffer" long ago for spending and not building, well "the times they are a-changin".
    Without doubt I'll be asking questions in the future but I'm unfazed at the prospect, I have a trade background and you blokes as backup.

    Definitely a good way to save when GAS is a problem, welcome.

    Cheers Bungee, I'm an old bloke new to guitars but my wife has been able to knock a tune out since her highschool days. Adding to my problems is she also has GAS.

    Small misunderstanding, I'm not a bass player, all of my guitars have six strings.
    When this holiday period slows down and I have time to properly consider the PB range I'll make the call.
    For the next couple of weeks I'll comb through older forum posts and talk with eS.G. about his build.
    At this moment I'm leaning towards a hollow body, the wind may blow from another direction tomorrow.

    Welcome to the madness CS ( at least you didn't grab the cork soaker name after the Jannet Jackson YouTube clip )

    I'm up the road at the top end of the RNP and have built the ST & PBH kits from PB. And a TL kit from another source, I'm feeling a Starcaster kit may be just around the corner but SWMBO is starting to question the size of the herd and does not understand that each of my guitars has a totally different voice and feel

    Thanks for the welcome Dave, the only place better than "The Shire" is "Northern Illawarra", LOL just messing with ya.
    You better educate that lady of yours. Mine thinks we'd better stop accumulating because we've run out of wall space.
