#DiyKitChallenge #harleybenton
It's just so satisfying to build a DIY kit instrument. The most time consuming (and fun) part is creating a headstock. Let me show you how I've built a DIY bass for the awesome Julia Hofer, my co-host on the Thomann's Guitars and Basses channel.

-Thomann blog that explains the DIY Kit Challenge challenge:

-Thomann's #DiyKitChallenge release video (Warning: it's a pretty funny video):

** Why the Anzeige (=Ad) message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't.
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? No it isn't. (I update this line for every video).

Nice to see someone who still knows how to use a coping saw. Brings back memories of middle school shop class. SO many years ago now. 🎸👍🤘😁

Kris your building videos are quite catching! I now have the urge to get a Jazz Bass kit. This might be a nice project to do with my Dad as he has a professional workshop wit a paint booth and woodworking tools. I don`t think I`ll finish it until the end of the Thomann contest, but the goal should be to spend some quality time with my Dad.

Great idea to put the decal with Julia's name on the headstock.
Looks awsome! Bass and headstock shape too!
That's a FUN episode. Definitely 5 of 5 pineapples for you, Kris!

I supervised when my grandsons built me a Harley Benton Jazz bass kit.
I carved the headstock for them using a box cutter. 😂

Really nicely done. Always amazed at how fast these come together even if you don't much time. Headstock looks nice. I might've gone T style to make even smaller. Poo Ninja is right, a little paint and a pineapple 🍍 would have been the finishing touch. 👍🤘🤙👏👏

You nailed it!
Julia will be proud! And happy!

I would like to partecipate the diy challenge, but my wife would kill me if I take another guitar at home!
And consider that I already bought my presents for my birthday in mid june (a prs se 24-08 and a prs se 277) so technically I have 6 weeks left to live...
Ops! 🤣

My solution to headstock shaping.. Macmull it! Works every time and looks great

Use old round wound strings to file nut slots.It works perfectly.

What what what!! The DIY decal was the highlight of this video. Just a computer printout and spray laquer? No special material? That’s new to me and so very cool

Generic bass kit brought to life by German craftsman. Fantastic job!

That Julia Hoffer's headstock becomes already a classic after its first model ...
