Description: This kit includes all of the parts you need to build your own short-scale (30-inch) 3-string electric bass, tuned to G-D-G (or, alternately, E-A-D). This tuning and setup makes it easy for NON-bassists and NON-guitarists to get started playing bass along with their favorite cigar box guitar songs... we even include a how-to-play section in the assembly guide walking you through playing along with your first couple of songs! We named this the "G-Bass" kit for three reasons: it's a play on the classic "P-Bass" released by Fender in the 1950's; it's tuned to Open G; and it's designed and made by Gitty! This kit includes a solid hard maple neck and box-through brace, along with a genuine mahogany fretboard. The box is crafted from 1/4" and 1/8" Arctic Birch plywood, known for its excellent tonal qualities. It comes with three shiny chrome bass tuners, a hardwood bridge, and a custom stainless steel tailpiece designed in-house at the C. B. Gitty workshop. The fully pre-wired pickup harness features a classic-style black-covered bass pickup, a volume pot, and a standard mono jack. Decorative nickel-plated box corners and chrome strap buttons are also included for optional installation. You can choose either the fretted or unfretted option for this kit - for the unfretted option, you'll get the fully slotted fretboard with just the jumbo zero-fret installed; for the fretted option, you'll get a fully fretted fingerboard. Both options use the shorter 30-inch scale made popular by Fender's "Mustang" model back in the 60's. The shorter scale makes it easier to play a 3-string bass, since you don't have to move around quite as much. Overall assembled length of the instrument is 40 inches. This kit includes a full assembly guide packed with photos and detailed how-to information. You will need basic tools (drill, drill bits, clamps, sandpaper, files/rasps, etc) to assemble this kit. The body of the instrument is a laser-cut plywood box specially designed by Ben "Gitty" Baker for strength and sturdiness; this box comes in its natural "blank slate" wood state, so that you can stain, decorate and apply finishes as desired.
