Gregor & Lars: It's awesome the combination of energy, enthusiasm, fun & info that is delivered in these 4 minute U-Tubes. Great job as you both complement each other very well. Thx.
I think they left the headstock in the crude shape - which looks for me like a cleaver (Hackbeil) - to allow a bit of customization other than painting the body.
Looks great! I did a Precision style sticker bass after seeing your original video. A lot of this is common sense but a few mistakes were made and learned from! 1. Separate your stickers into those you like and those you dislike. Use the ones you aren't bothered about to create a "base". Layer the stickers you want to be more visible over the top of this base. 2. Cut into the stickers that wrap around the curves of the body, this makes them easier to layer and the adhesive will hold much better if they're flat against the body. 3. With a sharp blade cut the stickers where they over-lap your neck slot or pick up recess. 4. Apply a coat of resin over the top of your stickers, this will harden the stickers and ensure they hold in place with no corners peeling over time. 5. Lastly, apply a few coats of lacquer over the top of the stickers to really help bring out their shimmer and shine. Great ideas and at the price it's so worth doing to make a bass that is 100% customised to your own style
Looks cool and for 100 bucks you can't expect too much from the sound. Would have liked to have seen the headstock being shaped. I've always been tempted to build one myself, so thank you for sharing.
Don't let the friendly happy coat fool you, keep this snarling beast away from children, once bitten they might turn into monster bassists! Haha Lovely job 😆
I built the p version. great cutting the headstock learned a few new techniques to get it right and it looks ace. needed a little fretwork but most basses seem to. cut the nut a tiny bit deeper finished in tru oil and with a bit of filing managed to get a mex p bass black scratchplate to fit. plays really nicely and sounds great. down points....a bit neck heavy and the tone control does not make a huge difference ... easy to sort with upgraded parts. may add a heavy high mass bridge to balance a bit. but it's a lot of fun, I'd gig it!
Looks like a blast working with your kids to make something cool. Also, Lars could probably put strings on Harry Potter’s broom and make it sound good. Just saying! Well done. : )
We got some cool new shirts. Check them out!! -- > bit.ly/3I5fe0O
Dude playing bass looks like he’s trying to kidnap chipmunks

Thanks for the tips.You must have read my mind.I think it looks so cool and I'm thinking of doing this.
@@kevmac1230 If you do post a video and show it off when it's done!

Lovely job 😆
I built the p version.
great cutting the headstock learned a few new techniques to get it right and it looks ace.
needed a little fretwork but most basses seem to.
cut the nut a tiny bit deeper
finished in tru oil and with a bit of filing managed to get a mex p bass black scratchplate to fit.
plays really nicely and sounds great.
down points....a bit neck heavy and the tone control does not make a huge difference ... easy to sort with upgraded parts.
may add a heavy high mass bridge to balance a bit.
but it's a lot of fun, I'd gig it!
Love this idea. Great job.
I built on of these and I like the pick ups a lot!!
Love my diy Harley Berton P-bass ❣️❤️❤️
Good to see you back in your feet bud.
Nah, shaping the headstock is kinda cool
Welcome back! 🙂
I LOVE THAT BASS!
I think the headstock may be a Fender trademark thing. Anyway, I have had my eye on those kits for a while, I may have to build one now... 😀
I'm excited to make a kit bass and put my own spin on the headstock. Nothing too crazy lol
Pleased to hear you are bit better, get well soon
VERY NICE
All the Stickers in the Bass make it look Fleas esque
What is that thunderbird shaped Bass behind you? Looks wild.
I want to be any BASS in the hands of Lars or René ;-)
And... all the best health wise for you Gregor!
Looks like a blast working with your kids to make something cool. Also, Lars could probably put strings on Harry Potter’s broom and make it sound good. Just saying! Well done. : )
where did you guys get those stickers? xD
Are all the body's the same? Or is that one a custom finish you did yourself?
Nevermind lol. I guess I should've checked the link before opening my mouth too ask questions haha
Man that Lars can play! :)
I bet they made headstock "shapeless" in order not to deal with Fender licensing.
That’s not the issue, you just have to change it up a bit, as they do it on other Harley Benton’s
Swap the pups out for Delano pups. I think I will look into one.
Liked the part when he said the headstock looks like a brick! Hilarious 😆 Harley Benton has got get that sorted!
Homer Simpson bass 🤗🤗🤗🤗😊😉😘👍🏻
Amaranth is purple, isn't it?
Purpleheart, yes. But it’s obviously not that at all. Purpleheart has a natural purple color
