I did think of 'Imprecision Bass' but technically I'd argue a 'Precision Bass' as any one with frets... 🙂

Trouble is that's very rude in Welsh...

I feel a bit guilty about 'made by me' as aside from shaping the headtock it's just painting and screwing the bits together...

ScrewDup precision bass?

(No reflection on your build quality)

will you do any reshaping to the body and what about electrinics/hardware?

No I want a standard body shape, I'll use the supplied hardware and only upgrade if I need to - rumour is its pretty decent stuff considering the silly price... £77 - I couldn't even buy neck, fingerboard and body timber for that.

Looking forward to it. Seems the price has gone up since you bought it.

The instructions say "Remove the neck and all the frets cleanly before you start painting".

That sounds fun!

Maybe that's if you're doing a 'Larry Graham' painted fretboard-job (which would be cool).
