You should give it back to Kris again, in order to spray a nice clear coat on it, so that your artwork will last even under heavy funky groove pounding!!!

[@rhettg24]

Her enthusiasm is her strength, her playing is top level, her cuteness don't even need to be mentioned.

[@scottm7720]

This looks like so much fun. Maybe my son and I will try this.

[@TheStuport]

That Is Golden Scott! Memories to be sure for the both of you! Cheers From Ohio

[@benneburg]

It IS fun!

[@johnfleming3396]

The goddess of groove Julia not only is superb in playing but has done very well in the trippy bass painting arena

[@symbiat0]

Holy crap, I was literally looking at these bass kits just yesterday Julia 😂

[@umami0247]

Came out nice and doesn't sound bad. Win win.

[@amritanshmanthapurwar84]

Wow, Julia and Chris did a very good job, very colorful and I really want to play it! Maybe some day I will do the same.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks a lot! You should really try it, it's so much fun making a custom instrument for yourself. Cheers //Kris

[@PatNetherlander]

Well done Julia! Now a luthier as well! Bass looks great. Needs just a protective coating and it’s definitely yours!

[@themobseat]

A real luthier would do their own headstock. There's more to be a luthier than screwing pre fab parts together.

[@PatNetherlander]

@@themobseat Yeah. Most luthiers wouldn’t play that well also.

[@IvanGorn]

Oh, Julia! You are so talented!😍😍😍

[@graemegourley7616]

Looks like a good quality kit. I wish it was easier to ship to Canada! But regardless, always great to see the lovely Julia and hear her play.

[@seanmcgeeney4570]

You're an absolute legend Julia. I'm a huge fan and thoroughly enjoy all your videos. From one bass player to another, you are a monster player. Very best wishes from Ireland.

[@omg_wtf]

Got one on order for my birthday in three weeks. I am going to let the kids paint it. They're 4 and 7, so it should be really fun for them :)

[@samstinkeringaround8961]

2 words Power Driver, over all sweetness , you did an awesome job Julia. !!

[@marketguy2]

Julia, you are the best. Your legend keeps on growing.

[@giannibiancocircus]

Really nice job, Julia. Brava!!!

[@kimbullock475]

Great work Julia, that’s just Awsome…👍👍👍

[@mynews]

Love it Julia!

[@dawnpoint]

I love seeing every so often you do cello vibrato on the bass. I do the same thing :D

[@jonkicker1278]

That turned out really nice.

[@petergetty2034]

Thank you so much for sharing this Julia! Looks and sounds great! I'm thinking of doing one with my son now 🙂

[@marciosouza8656]

Loved your video Julia!

[@RideOp74]

Good morning, Julia!

[@KorbinX]

Thank you for this fun video ^-^ appreciate you all

[@HeinzRebellius]

Love the painting!

[@deplinenoise]

Awesome vibes!

[@terrysbookandbiblereviews]

Awesome looking bass!

[@paulmessamore2440]

I hope you guys do another in 2023 because I'm buying a kit later this year and hope to start putting it all together in 2023

[@leedickenson5457]

I wish she wore her glasses all the time.😍

[@andreaslundhall]

Nice artwork! Made me think of Klaus Voormann.

[@henrikbas1]

Awesome 👍

[@witkac87]

Looks like a pretty decent kit. Definitely I need to try one.

[@jimmychristensen7112]

Picasso bass 👍

[@leeoffender8406]

Wow, that's a whole lotta hammer for the task. Presto! An ikea guitar. Very colorful. Nice job.

[@masonjones1506]

That was awesome...Julia Miró!! :)

[@howardtowler6146]

Sounds amazing

[@shuggy1110]

Love all your video's. You're a very fast and clean player.

[@guitarsofold100]

We want more of this Julia

[@jonathangillham571]

I love mine, great playing and sounding bit of wood. finished with tru-oil and made a black mex p guard fit just! bit neck heavy but I've got a high mass bridge on the way that should balance it out moderately.

[@ivarara]

You are amazing bass player and it is pure fun watching your excellent videos, thanks.

[@GianluCos]

Amazing👏👏👏

[@johndcunninghamjr4111]

Has a really nice sound. 😊

[@ednaldojose8343]

Great!!!

[@MG-vo7is]

Nice!

[@crlaw75]

That bass came out really nice.

[@liammusik]

Wow, what a painting. I Like it.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@123elvislives]

Great job there Julia thumbs up from Geelong Australia 👍🇦🇺👍👑

[@Bflatest]

OH MY!!! take the pick guard off to paint it hehehehe

[@athosreis5415]

Really cool 😀

[@ItsRael108]

I done my first kit build early 2020, i have a h/b bass kit i plan on building over the holidays .. Thanks for your video 🧘

[@areareare9953]

This may be fun, although I'm not sure I'd be able to play it being small - but it sounds pretty good, and yay for no soldering.

[@Queen0fNoize]

Being small should not be a problem! ;)

[@keavzmoezx344]

Hello Julia from Indonesia. Nice video as always

[@rimmersbryggeri]

That bass will be buzzy. :)

[@BenTrem42]

Cool! I was just thinking about adding a 3rd pickup ... bridge.

[@Emmanuel_Tuts-Schiemsky]

it looks like a bass...........cool

[@jonathanchevallier7046]

Fun challenge. Well done ! ;-)

[@jasminduncanson2520]

You're amazing Julia I couldn't build a guitar or a bass like you can

[@rien2080]

As a painter myself, that really is not bad! Good job on the theme of it

[@joachimzons5248]

NICE 😍😍😍

[@philippe3958]

Wow, nice.

[@PooNinja]

Awesome design Julia 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@ericmikkelsen1093]

Something you might consider (if you haven’t already) put a jazz neck on there to lighten the load. Did that with my kit bass. Like it a lot better that way.

[@LeownskieR]

Yep, those P-bass style basses have a down to the ground dive effect, so thick and heavy

[@szrnkabela]

Da Auge ist so geil, 👁 Ja, herzlich willkommen im Community Instrumentenbau 😆💪 bald entdeckst Du bestimmt auch Löten und Fräsen. 😎

[@grantkoeller8911]

I would also paint pickguard as part of the overall abstract paint design.

[@An2oine]

Reminds me of those guitars Clapton played.

[@jugglerj0e]

I'm really glad you painted it. Nice art. I thought you might have left the bass plain.

[@sneaquie8587]

Looks great, Julia! Happy Friday and have a great weekend! ❤️

[@JasperKloek]

I want that bass!

[@elducko1951]

I really like the bass! If it was going to remain white, I would substitute a tortoiseshell pick guard But, since you did such a fantastic job of painting, I would not change a thing. The bass kinda reminds me of the Stratocaster George Harrison painted for Magical Mystery Tour! Kris is an excellent craftsman! and you are a very tasty bass player, even when you are "noodling" you play some very cool stuff.

[@breakneck777]

77

[@LeifPalmin]

Hm.. Might want to do the shape of the head before you mount everything? And you can use a litle pice of wood betwin machine heads and metal hammer when you tapp them down. But anyway, youre a bass goddess! :-) Have a nice weekend. Oh.. allready done with the bass.

[@earthling273]

It would be nice to see different variations of the bass kits maybe one with a maple fretboard.

[@markbass354]

YAY IT LOOKS VERY NICE AND SOUNDS GOOD

[@flogginga_dead_horse4022]

The whole time I was thinking someone give her a powered screwdriver and then you mentioned it :D Nothing against your painting skills but it did look pretty good in plain white, the playing at the end was icing on the cake. Amazing how good the bass sounded too!!

[@gerritburgel3048]

I'm a Julia fan.

[@sonicase]

nice job

[@johnyork5138]

YOUR SUCH A GIRL! BE PROUD Of IT.

[@dietmarschlichtherle7061]

WOW

[@LeownskieR]

Picasso will be proud, good job !

[@deetgeluid]

What’s not to like about Julia. I want her to be my wife and bass player in my band.😍

[@rossco420]

I’ve got a HB bass cost me £85 it’s got the Wilkinson pickups it’s an older model, it plays and sounds fantastic,

[@Piijo2K-hf3vk]

Nice job, here´s a tip for the future, don´t screw the neck till you have everything screw into the body and for the next build, please use a soft nylon hammer.

[@TheStefan1344]

Sieht nach viel Spaß aus, glaub ich muss auch mitmachen. Nur die Challenge lass ich aus 😅😂

[@larryhowell3971]

Hi Julia. I love your videos of classic bass groove tunes. I was listening to one of my favorites: Joss Stone , Fell in Love With a Boy, from her Soul Sessions album. Amazing bass groove.... worth highlighting on one of your tune highlight videos. Thanks

[@An2oine]

Well, I knew she would be a heart breaker but I didn't know how, but when I saw the ferrule install with that type of hammer, my soul was crushed.

[@TheStuport]

LOVE The "Hippie LQQK" of your Painted Axe! You and Kris created a GEM of a Bass! What a Great Friday The 13th Unveiling! Now it's time to play "Werewolves Of London" as Warren Z. Howls into The Night!😄 Cheers From Ohio MUUUUHAHAHA

Super Fun Dir einfach zuzuschauen, deine positive Ausstrahlung ist ansteckend, jetzt hab ich auch Lust gekriegt, mitzumachen =) Das weiss auf weiss sah recht edel aus, aber dein Hippie-paintjob macht ein echt tolles Unikat, gefällt mir! Und der Groove am Ende, wow, also in deinen Händen klingt der Bass fantastisch. Da ich dich schon so oft gelobt hab, lob ich heute mal das ganze Thomann Team, Ihr seid super, schönes Wochenende!

Now Julia, make someone happy and do a giveaway of your beautifully painted bass kit. I know I would love to be the proud owner of your p bass...💙👊😎

[@denniskramer9657]

yeah,good luck with that.

[@andrewpappas9311]

That honestly looks really damn cool, the bass sounds awesome and that design looks great as well

[@johncandido2241]

I would have left it at the 2 tone white colors. I thought it looked really nice.

[@didierdumont878]

Très jolies basses ,bon son

[@grantkoeller8911]

When you use a screwdriver, don't hold it at an angle, the screw driver must be straight up and down, with pressure downward into the screw head, otherwise you'll strip the Phillips head.

[@omg_wtf]

I bet you're fun at parties

[@grantkoeller8911]
