Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2025?

[stoo]

Best was a P bass kit off ebay... been wanting to try a scratch build for ages, but wasn't confident enough to have a first go at finishing and fretwork on something that'd take a lot of effort to replace if I messed it up.

Turned out way better than I thought it would.... 

 

 

Worst was running out of excuses not to do the next one from scratch

Is it good for metal?

I would say so, if fretless metal is your thing.

Best purchase:

(Not technically a purchase yet, but it's a foot in the door)

 

Worst purchase:

70's Seamoon Funk Machine circuitboard clone. Enjoyed building it but I never managed to dial in a sound I liked.

Ended up reusing the housing for my DIY Fuzzrocious Ram the Manparts stripboard build.
