    Newbie. YB4 electric bass

    Hi all I have just joined the guitar building world as a bit of a learning project/get to learn bass. Well the learning curve is steep as I sit here with parts, packets and no instructions. Anybody built a YB-4 bass? Any help will be welcome as I try the mock build.

    Hi and welcome Andrew.
    there is a bunch of topics here to read through http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...splay.php?f=57
    I think Adam is still trying to put together a comprehensive instruction pdf as there are so many kits each with their own peculiarities.

    Hi, Andrew, and welcome to the forum.

    Best to start a build diary and ask any questions as you go along. There are wiring diagrams for it here: http://www.pitbullguitars.com/wp-con...f/PBG-YB-4.pdf

    Wow, just read Weirdbits YB4 build as I had somehow missed it.

    Absolutely epic build and very detailed instructions for any skill level.
