NBD - Poor Man’s Joe Dart

[Fat Bottom Kyle]

looks like it has a really nice low action!

Setup was really good out of the box

IF you are not eating 25cent Ramen cup noodles regularly, you are probably not poor - just financially sensible.

It's nice, but I honestly think it would look even nicer if the body finish was darker, so as to contrast with the fretboard.

I didn’t know either until this morning when I walked into the hardware store. 8 bucks for 4 colors. You just color it in and then wipe off the excess with a cloth.

Thanks for the tip!

Nice! Definitely one of the easiest fixes I've ever done to a bass.

My man. I didn't know Blend Stick was a thing. The prior owner of my Dart installed a pickguard, which I removed as soon as I got the bass. The holes aren't a deal breaker, but I'm ordering Blend Stick pronto.

A pickguard? That man is a goddamned savage!

Everyone should do what they want with their own bass, but it’s hard for me to imagine buying a new $3k limited run bass and start drilling holes in it right away lol.

Yeah, it wouldn't have been my play either, but I kind of get making questionable decisions in chase of "the thing" you're wanting.

I love mine too, but I went in a different direction.
