some slight intonation and it be perfect

Nice!

I'm a complete novice when it comes to carpentry, but I thought the end result was great. Congratulations, beautiful bass guitar. The dubbing also helped me pay more attention to the video.

You're supposed to sand it after the finishing :)

u cant build James guitar cuz it ain't his and by the way your voice sounds a little like Niki six so there. 😊

You could make tutorial videos of guitar building. That thing is great!

now do a neck thru! subbed for you, #13,500.

Amazing job. That was very therapeutic watching that. Now im going to be watching guitar build videos for the next few weeks.

Great build, lots of great tips too. Something I started doing when putting a top on a body, was to use locator pins or small screws in places that wouldn't be seen, like the neck pocket, bridge area or pickup cavities, you can get it spot on before glueing and don't need to worry about the centre lines not lining up.

I'm not only an "audiophile', but also a woodworker. Building a guitar or bass has been a dream of mine for many years. I've had the thought of walking into my local musician shop and asking if there's anyone that wants a custom guitar/bass built for them. It's a bucket list thing, even thought I don't have an official bucket list. Great video. Thank you VERY much for the inspiration.

Nice build

Nice work !!

Awesome build my friend...fyi James guitarrs were ESP explorer models not Gibson

Great work dude

Great job man! I love the way the colors came out.

What is that string retainer on the A string???

Great build, if you do another that has a cap, route your wire channels before gluing the cap on. Eliminates trying to drill them later.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great build! I prefer a 35" scale for a 5 string though. Love the finish on that..

If you want to learn more about staining. Check out bigdguitars.

cutting the rough neck profile on the band saw after gluing on the fretboard is definitely a choice 😂 but hey, it came out beautiful.

soo good

Solid work! Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

Was so much fun to watch all Processes.. This Bass Guitar is so beuatiful and the Wood Finishes are awesome. And the Sound is also great. You are doing very well. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🧑‍🎄

Awesome build! How do you attach your templates, so they can be removed afterwards?

Hi, bass guitar tech here. Love your build, great work! For fret polishing, you're on the right track with sanding grits. Finish with #0000 super fine steel wool. I stopped using Dremel + metal polish because the heat can cause frets to pop out. Now, I just use a dry cloth for buffing. If you use a Dremel, be careful with the heat.

hey so I've read quite some stories on the neck construction. Regarding whether to first rough shape the neck, before gluing a fretboard on, because of tensions which may release in the wood when removing material. So what I see here is the opposite, you have excess material and a ready to go fingerboard glued on. I get that it may be easier working with a straight neck, but having to remove like 1/4 of an inch with the bandsaw after glueing on a fretboard seems to me a bit unessary risk to get a crooked neck? (even crooked in a direction which can not be remedied by the trussrod)

Love this video!!!!

Adjust the nut, not the slot. Cut a good flat level slot and then adjust the nut to match it. Will go much quicker. Nice build!

Great sounding bass. Quick tip: You can use a noise gate to get some of the unintentional notes out of your recording. Rock on bro

22:31 I have a mega playlist of songs but my favorite song is “If Darkness Had A Son”

Love your work sir. Your videos are very thorough. Looking forward to future videos. Question, what was the product that you used inside the control cavity?

Great build. Love the way that stain worked into the grains (front and back). Also, that neck looks very nice as well.

I would recommend getting a fret beveling file. It makes beveling fret end super fast and easy and beveled fret make playing more comfortable.

My fretwork has gotten really good and consistent, I have a small block with a groove that fits the frets (after planing to flat). I start with 400, 600, 800 1000, 1200, 1500,2000, 2500 and then polish. I count the repeats starting with 15 to 20 reps and gradually go down. The counting gives a very precise result because the hands are so sensitive. It may seem like overkill, but, the results are consistently great!!

I've built 7 basses and only one turned out playable. It's a journey of discovery

23:30 Consider zero-fret :P (I love them, so many avantages) Awesome job ! You nailed it ! What about balance? no head diving ?

Looks incredible!

One tip to help your sanity 😁 If you make an instrument with a top from different wood, I would recommend to route channels under top wood for all pickup wires. No need to use a long drill bit and worry about drilling through top or bottom.

This was your first build? Very well done sir

Favourite metallica song bleeding me!

Guitar shouldn't have a scarf joint

You’re definitely right: you don’t need a lot of tools. I have recently built my first guitar (I’ve also went for an angled neck/ angled headstock design, the easiest stuff, right 😅), I don’t have a bandsaw, I used a little oscillating cutter and a spindle sander for the body and a good old fashioned hand saw to do the angled headstock. I also decided to put an Apex headstock reinforcements (as seen on Gibson Access). Probably the best tool is the spindle sander, helped me throughout the whole build. Gotta love building guitars (I’ve got a 5-string PJ bass coming up as well, but this time my own design). Much love from Italy

Favorite Metallica song is Disposable Heroes

This is sick!

Clip the fret ends over the trash can. Those itsy fret bits can hide on your bench..

Please send it over to me. Thank you
