The components listed above constitute those that are supplied with the basic 300BSEi kit, please note there will also be available various grades of upgrade kits to further improve the sound of the kit. We strongly recommend that people construct the kit using the standard components from the outset. Once built, familiarise yourself with the sound as this will act as your base. From here you will easily notice the changes when the upgrade components are added. As we use tag boards throughout, swapping components is easily done. This will further enhance your enjoyment of building a Glasshouse kit.
