I am indeed. Have some decent instruments already, but your recipe sounds fantastic. Have only assembled/stained/finished some guitars as of yet, but I really want to make a bass like your description (although i'm not too concerned about it being headless, but i will see how this develops). Looking forward to how you calculate the fret positions and angles, as this is obviously crucial. I think i would like to use the same scale lengths that Dingwall use, as I did try one once, briefly and really liked the feel and sound of that instrument.
Hi Chris. Looking good so far, and I’m looking forward to this series. And on another note, I just ordered the bits for my GGBO entry so that I can start when it formally kicks off. … thanks again for the inspiration that I always find in your videos and builds … -Bern
I feel the pre shaping of a neck is a great idea for neck movement... As carving after removes quite a bit and can move. Using some support is not that bad when compared to the advantages (plus I feel it could also be more economical with your wood too
My biggest motivation for cutting the splines to shape first is that I don't really have a suitable bandsaw for cutting after! ...and also, I worry salt could make it worse if the two pieces start to slip before the salt digs in and then you're gripping in the wrong place.
Yes, I am a bass player. 😎 Surprised to see you starting a build with GGBO looming. I figured everyone was in a holding pattern until the announcement was made.
Looking good so far Chris, I also tend to leave some material on the back for one piece necks. I think on a laminated neck blank like this the risk of movement should be reduced so it won't be an issue. However it's going to move it's going to move. Looking forward to seeing this take shape and can't wait to see what you have in store for GGBO 2022.
Hi Chris, is that plane a #4? Is it enough for this kind of board length? I'm asking because it's all I got, and I'm considering my options for the next build. Thanks!
✨🌟Are you a bass player?🌟✨
Indeed- watching this build with salivating interest.
@@bassvibasics479 make sure you catch up! Episode 4 lands today!
@@KingBespokeCreations splendid! I've got some catching up to do!

@@timbeaton5045 binge watch the playlist and you be up to date in no time! 👍
Brilliant, looking forward to the rest of this series.
I find it strangely satisfying peeling dried wood glue off my fingers.
Ooh yeah!
A little bit of carving? You? I don’t believe it 🤣 I’m excited for this series!
It will be a good one! 👍
And I think I’m going to resort to the backwards plane method, I can see how it can be advantageous after watching this!
Often easier
Good use of the vice for clamping!
Well when you don’t have enough…😂
the finger, the original glue spreader! great video as always! can't wait for the rest of the series!
Thanks Bud!

That’s great to hear! All the best with your build 👍
I'm disappointed you didn't also make it hollow, active and tempered scale too haha Watching this one with bated breath! (is that even possible?!)
Looking forward to the rest of the series. And what the guitar will look like 👍
Me too!

Definitely a balance of positives. 👍

I agree with the salt thing, I expect I’ll stick to my favourite Stopcut technique for future necks though!
Love it so far 🤩🤘
👍
So looking forward to this build your videos are always entertaining and even educational
Thanks Jurgen!

It’s for a customer, so they have priority! I’ll throw my hat in the GGBO ring if I have time later! 👍

Thanks mate. That 335! Awesome 👏
@@KingBespokeCreations cheers buddy, it was a mission but worth the effort :)

If it’s what you’ve got then it’s perfect! Seriously, a No. 4 can do anything. Just keep measuring and checking for straight etc very few strokes 👍
And lay your plane sideways, or you F up your blade.Please
Nope! Don’t lay it down on a metal surface and you’ll be fine. And you won’t gash your hand on the blade either 👍
