Harley Benton Bass-Guitar Kit P-Style

Neck

With the body placed face up on a protective surface, position the neck into the neck cutout until it is fully 

inserted.

Turn the assembly over and position the neck plate (with its black protective seal) over the four bolt holes at 

the rear of the body and drive in the four long screws through the neck plate, body and pilot holes in the neck 

until all fits tightly.

Wiring

The pickups and controls are pre-assembled on the pick-guard and simply need to be connected to the output 

jack socket and earth. Wiring is implemented as plug-in modules, soldering is not required.

There are two loose cables in the wiring assembly. One cable has a connector and the other one has no connec-

tor. Gently thread the red cable (connector lead, with connector) through the hole behind the tone control cavity 

to the separate routing for the pickup cavity. Insert the blue cable (string grounding cable, without connector) 

into the small hole until it runs through the hole under the bridge. String grounding reduces noise (hum).
