- Customizing a Harley Benton P-Bass Style Kit.
A compilation showing all steps of the build shortly. A video with sound examples will follow. Most is done with hand tools. The only electric tools I used are a drill and a Dremel. In my excitement, I have rushed some things, mostly sanding. It plays excellent. To answer a question previously asked "Does it play as good as something like a Squier?" : Most definitely yes. I have some other guitars in the range of 250$ (including a Squier) and they all play the same. With reasonable hardware, the kit plays good enough. The better you are at setting up a guitar, the better it will play.

Good work. Thank you for the sum up at the end explaining the various areas of the guitar. ❤
That is a beauty.
Even though I love metal, all-black instruments usally aren't my cup of tea but you manged to create a really cool looking bass here.
I also love seeing affordable kits being modded and taken to a whole nother level.
Thank you. The sparkles in the black and the bit of silver does make it less black (and better looking in my opinion).
Great build 👍👍👍
Great job ! The finish product is amazing ! You can be proud !
Thank you, I am. :)
You did such a beautiful job with this. I particularly like how you did the headstock. Been looking to do something with a Harley Benton P-Bass kit for a while and you've given me some inspiration. Hartstikke bedankt!
Glad to be of service. Succes met de bouw.
Sweet axe my dude. I LOVE the custom truss rod cover. ..and the double p pickup config is cool. I'd have put a single coil old school p bass pickup for the lows though.
Absolutely beautiful work.
Thank you.
GREAT JOB MAN, i love the result!
Thank you. I'm pretty pleased with it myself also. :)
very good
Cool looking bass nice paint job.
Thank you. :)
NICE JOB! Beautiful work!
Thank you. :)
I've ordered mine. Due to Covid it's on backorder for more than four weeks now but according to the Thomann site it's a matter of days now. I'm very curious to see how it compares to my Am. Pro P Bass. But at the moment the assembly and certainly the finishing is what I'm looking forward to. If it proves playable I will definitely upgrade with better pups and bridge.
Thomann is a good store, it will arrive eventually. Have fun with the build. And if you choose to upgrade, I think the tuners & the nut would be the best to start with.
Mooi project! Ziet er top uit!
Dank U. Ik ben dan ook zeer tevreden met het resultaat. :)
Nice
DAMN !! great job, u really "ROCK" !!
Thanks :) Rock On !!!
For the movie and guitar performance! I have one question, what is this spray with which you painted the guitar?
I used metallic nitrocellulose lacquer spraycans. The clear coat is acryllic, as advised on the used spraycans. All regular quality, not the cheapest, not the most expensive.
@@twhomebassguitar9466 Thank you for the information.
do they make a 3/4 scale kit?
Harley Benton doesn't have a short scale kit. I look at different kits regularly and I can't remember I have ever seen one online. If there is one from any brand, it will require some searching.
Nice work! Greetings from Spain :-)
Thanks and Greetings from The Netherlands. :)
Beautifull....but it is not a precision ....it is not a jazz
Ziet er bad uit! Hoe heb je de nek behandeld? Met rambo bijts, hoe dan?
Dank U. :) De pantserbeits van rambo als verf op de nek smeren, gewoon op het geschuurde hout. Lang laten drogen (meerdere weken) en opschuren met 1000 grid schuurpapier. Eventueel extra lagen aanbrengen. Voelt fantastisch en is goed beschermd. Wel uitkijken met lak. De beits echt als allerlaatste op de nek doen. Dun en voorzichtig. Je wilt geen druiper over de lak of het fretboard.
@@twhomebassguitar9466 thnx!
лайк за покраску, ато как не гляну... куда попало красят
Thank you. And yes, even in a backyard or small shed, it is possible to do a nice paint job.
The music is horrible
Sorry for that, I like it a lot. :)
Never glue the screws ! 👎
I totally agree. That's why I put wax on them. :)
