#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.

** 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).
