DIY Semi Hollow Bass Kit build (ES-335 Style)

I'm putting together a "Pit Bull Guitars ESB-4 Electric Bass Guitar Kit", or a "335 Bass" from "The Fretwire". They seem to be discontinued at the moment, but they might be offered again in the future.

This bass is especially nice for practicing at home, as you don't have to plug it in. It's always read to go. Tuning stability is good too.

Some Details about the build:
Clear Coat: Nitro Cellulose Lacquer Spray Cans (I've used the ones from Northwest Guitars, but any brand will probably do)
Tru-Oil finish on the neck
Wood Dye: Keda Wood Dye Kit for the orange / dartfords Blue Metal Complex Wood Dye Powder
