When covid hit and I decided to pick up the bass again, I bought a kit and it was the best decision I made in years. I absolutely feel more connected to this instrument than the ones I had when I was younger, though that’s likely maturity as well.
I was a professional woodworker for years and a couple of my coworkers were into scratch builds and now I see why. Once I get a shop set up again, a scratch build may be my first project.
Has anyone else here done a kit or more? What kit? How did the build go? How did you jibe with the wiring?
I’ve done one Pitbull kit and two Haze kits.( and just ordered another Pitbull kit)
All easy enough with a lot of sanding on the bodies .
The only difference between the two makes is that the Haze involves no soldering .
I highly recommend the Ubass kit. It’s a fun little instrument that you can build at your kitchen table, just supply your own box for the body, and the only power tool you need is a hand drill.
I am about to embark on construction of a body for a medium scale. I have my block of wood, my design shape, my jigsaw and router, my measurements, and am just trying to work up the courage to start cutting.
