A hollow-body bass? Yes, and it's a vibe. The HB Style DIY Bass Guitar Kit drops two humbuckers into a hollow body with a maple top, for the kind of warm, woody, slightly-thumpy tone that bass nerds quietly hunt down on the used market.
Set-in neck, fixed bridge, two volumes, two tones, predrilled and routed, pre-sanded. The hollow-body construction adds resonance and a little air to the bottom end — very rockabilly, very Motown, very "why does this sound so much better than my friend's" energy. The maple top finishes beautifully under translucent stain, sunburst, or natural lacquer.
Designed and shipped from the USA. Every kit is backed — if a part shows up defective, free replacement, no return needed, no questions. Build your own bass guitar that doesn't sound like everyone else's. Rare without being precious. Loud without being loud. Cool without trying.

I just finished this bass. By far my favorite project to date. Much better quality than other kits I’ve made .

Nice hollow body.
Solid construction and a nice fit for the neck mounting. The neck was pretty much ready to play after simple adjustments. I had some humbuckers I wanted to use so I can’t speak to the included. Other electronics were pretty decent. Overall a better kit than other brands I have built in the past .

Awesome! Great quality!
Great bass! I fully customized mine to sound like an upright and a guitar at the same time. Was playing with it's original him buckets for a while till last March when I decided to completely refinish her!

Good kit!
Big hollow-body archtop basses can be a bit spendy, and seem to be a bit niche (thus harder to find,) so I figured why not build my own? The kit comes with all the needed parts. Some are excellent ... the maple laminate and neck have good grain and came as-advertised (i.e. only needing final sanding,) and the neck fit is nice and snug. Pickups are good, the rest of the electronics are decent. Best thing about these kits is you can mix and match to suit your particular tastes. The assembled and finished bass sounds great!
