    Kunsel - IB-6S ELECTRIC 6-STRING BASS diary

    Hi everyone!

    I received my IB-6S last month and I just start to make my dry built. I still have to bolt the neck and make the holes for the bridge.

    As you can see, I have glue, or I don't know what, on the top as you can see. I will try to manage it. I will try to post a picture of what I would like this build looks like during the weekend.

    By looking at the pickups, I saw that both was not correctly glued and one was not installable due to the epoxy fall into the pickup hole. Pitbull has sent me 2 pickups to replace them and I recieved it very quickly!

    I still have to bolt the neck, find the right place for the bridge and test the electronics and we will be good to start to stain the bass.
    Thank you very much Pitbull!

    Thanks John!

    That bass look completely amazing with her two thrust rods. I hope to be able to give her what she deserves...

    Little update

    Hi guys,

    A little update on my IB-6S built.

    I didn't touch nothing since I received the kit. Per chance I found the pickup issue by making a mockup right away when I received the bass.

    I'm looking to start in the middle of March 2020, since I will go to a luthier to be sure that the neck and the bridge are perfectly installed.

    I allready choose the color and I'm very ecxited to start to work on this beauty.

    Sorry for my bad English..

    Don't worry about the language. You're doing fine. All the best for when you start in March.

    Finaly I worked on my bass.
    I just finished to put the True oil on it.

    It keeps going!
