Thread: Hey from Canada, Alberta

  1. #1

    Hey from Canada, Alberta



    I just ordered my first bass guitar kit and I'm super excited for it to arrive. I've been playing bass for a while now and thought it was time to upgrade to a 6-string. Instead of buying one, I thought I would build one. It's a much more personal instrument if I build it myself + I get all the experience in soldering/painting! Cheers!

    Hey - another bass player! Great to see - I'm guessing the IB-6? Looks like a great kit (one day).

    Hey everyone, thanks for saying hi. I went with the IB-6S, it seems perfect. Do any of you guys now if it comes with active or passive pickups?

    All the kits come with passive pickups I believe.

    Let us know when your kit arrives. I'm curious to find out how long it will take to get to Canada once I order one.
