2 reviews for Solo TBBK-1 DIY Electric Bass Guitar Kit

  1. Brenden Walker (verified buyer)

    The wood parts were nicely done, neck fit well and the frets were level. The tuning machines were poor quality, threads not cut properly so I had to chase them to secure them.

    Pickups were rubbish, E and A strings were about 3 times as loud with pickup angled as much as i could. About 1mm clearance on the G string, and 4mm on the E.

    Pots pretty raspy as well..

    Other than that, finished up nicely. I’ll be installing SD pickups and pots shortly.

  2. Denco (verified buyer)

    Overal, this is a good kit. Body and neck fit well. I can’t speak to the electronics as I’m upgrading with an EMG active pickup system. Body and neck in great shape as expected.

    The only thing I don’t like about this bass is that the tuning keys are at the bottom of the headstock instead of the top which puts the low E string key in the farthest position away and tuning is awkward. Solo should really change this. It makes the bass look awkward. I thought I was doing something wrong in assembly so I contacted Solo and was told this is how the kit is designed. Might be good to have a pic on the sales page. I wouldn’t have purchased the kit if I’d realized it. Again, it’s a good kit and easy to work with. The tuner situation is just odd.
