That's not irony.
I don't believe in CSI.
I don't believe that horse won anything.
Every time that somebody doesn't believe in CSI, a G string breaks.....I don't believe in CSI.

Which kit did you buy, from where?I have been spending way too much time on the Warmoth site looking at parts for basses.
So, today I said screw it and ordered a P bass kit. Except what I ordered was much cheaper and not from Warmoth. Anyway, I can finally stop GASSING.

That fell flat with me.That's irony.View attachment 1189501
Sweet. I gotta check that out. I need like 4 more Jazz basses for various string and pickup combinations, so this would be one affordable way to make that happen.......Well, I was going to start a thread when it was delivered, but ...
It's the P-bass kit from BYO Guitar.
Mahogany body, maple neck, and rosewood fretboard - pretty basic.

From what I've seen and heard about some of these budget brands, the quality can actually be very decent. For me, at the end of the day, as long as the neck is reasonably stable and of decent quality and the fret work doesn't suck, the rest of the bass is negotiable. Light weight is preferable.An SX bass is probably cheaper, but I really wanted to assemble and finish one to my liking.
