The music is the copyright free music that YouTube provides. They have some really talented composers.
So far no major issues with the kit. Stewmac described it as a parlor but the body shape is...
And here's part 2:

Hi everyone! I'm finally back after close to 2 years of inactivity! Work has been real crazy but I've managed to find some free time over the weekends to build this guitar kit.
It's a 000 parlor...
Looking forward to it!
Woks - yes a six string bass feels very unnatural!
Wazkelly - it's tuned to high C
Andrew - yes a little bit of highway star! I love that song. This bass does a good job of mimicking a p bass in...

Here's a demo of the bass. Excuse the sloppy playing. :(
It's not a competition guys!
Yes solid wenge, radiused to match the fingerboard and it's attached via sticky tape. So it's removable.
Lol Zandit where on earth did you get that list of commandments?
Woks yes I decided to make a ramp to see if it helps with a lighter touch and faster playing. It does but I'll need to raise it a...

Thanks everyone. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out but I don't think I'll ever make another neck through bass! It's just too complicated!
Where's that neck from?
Thanks guys. It sounds really bright and punchy. Lots of sustain too. It does weigh quite a bit! 5kg!

YES! It's finally assembled! This project was the toughest ever and the most time consuming. I'm glad I pushed myself because the end product looks and sounds fantastic.
Things I could've changed...
Woks were you able to figure it out? So sorry I totally forgot. If you still want me to take some pics I can do it tomorrow.
There's a large nut which bolts onto the main frame which secures the hole saw. You can attach the drill down it to the main frame or remove it. I'll take some pics later on and show you how it works.
I bought the cheapest hole saw kit from the green shed, which is the craftright one. So there's the hole saw attachment which has a 6mm drill bit attachment with an allen screw, and I took out the...
