The JB 5 String DIY Bass Guitar Kit is exactly what it sounds like: a J-bass, with five strings, in alder. Two J-pickups, classic blend wiring, and that snappy, growly tone that's been holding down genres since before most of us were born.

Bolt-on neck with frets and dual-action truss rod, predrilled and routed body, two J-bass pickups, two volumes and one tone — slap, finger-style, plectrum, doesn't matter, the J handles all of them. The fifth string opens up territory most four-strings just can't reach without cheating.

Designed and shipped from the USA. Every kit is backed — defective parts replaced free, no return needed. Build your own bass guitar with the most-versatile pickup configuration in bass history, and one extra string to make sure no song's outside your reach.

  • Predrilled and routed body
  • Neck with frets and dual-action truss rod installed
  • Bridge and turning hardware
  • Pickups, Pots, and Wiring Components
  • All wood parts are pre-sanded, ready for your final sanding and a finish to be applied.
