Love the disciple 5 string bass guitar kit great easy build great playing guitar

I am a 35plus year bass player. I have owned most any kind of bass you can name. My current go to was a custom Warrior boutique bass that cost over $5000. I purchased this bass from Allen Eden to have a spar bass when I needed someone else to pull bass duty while I played lead or acoustic. WOW was I ever blown away at the tone and playability of this bass. I threw it together in about 15 minutes and did a minimal set up and its amazing. I will be visiting AE again very soon.

For the price and great reviews, I thought I'd give it a try. I got mine assembled and was surprised that it was not only assembled, but properly setup. String height was great. Intonation was done. Truss rod was adjusted and really close. I did have to retighten all the screws though. They were snug but needed one more ugga dugga in my opinion. But played right out of the box which I was not expecting.
My only complaint is the nut was not cut properly. Between the B and E it was 12.5mm. E to A 10.5mm, A to D 12.5mm, and D to G 10.5mm. So to me it was uncomfortable around the first couple of frets. So I installed a TUSQ XL PT-1425-00 nut with minimal effort and voila!!! Fantastic bass for a fantastic price. Gonna have to do some more shopping here.

Can't beat the builder kits for value!

Case was purchased for Disciple 5 bass and is perfect for it. Very heavy duty. Will more than likely fit any P or J style bass out there fine.

I was so impressed with The Disciple 5 that I bought a second bass. This is the most value for my money. I will always AE on my radar for new products.

This is amazing, well constructed everything fits together as expected. Every Eden body I've gotten last few years has been good. This one is #1

I bought 2 of the Disciple 5 string basses and the are great. They look great, sound great and play great. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Have just started exploring these Artec mods. Inexpensive and fun for adding new tones and boosting. Practice your soldering first. They are small but mighty.

it is just what i wanted good stuff thanks

Awesome craftsmanship. Neck pocket is perfect.

Very pleased with the relic body. Great quality

I accidentally bought the hardtail. It ain't done yet but should be an excellent guitar when I'm done the neck fits nicely. This mistake turned into an amazing project that made me rethink my plans but still a well crafted project. Eden guitar bodies are always first class

I bought a build kit bass and I can't believe how good it is. I'm definitively buying more from AE Guitars!

Product arrived safely and tracking was fast and accurate.
