I don’t really like “Beatle basses” just because they are so iconic. No one looks right playing them but Paul. However, your take on this turned out superb. It doesn’t make me think of Paul at all. And what’s up with your build quality? You went from pretty good to flippin amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Keep up the beautiful work!

Different instruments in different price categories get different treatment. My goal here is to make very affordable, ecoethical custom guitars so people don't have to settle for what the stores sell, but I want to keep them in the same or lower price range than their factory peers, so I can't finesse as much. This bass is in a higher price range so it gets a higher level of fit and finish. Thanks!

Eesh SinGer naw, it’s just that Paul owns that. Other people played them, and Paul played other basses, but in my mind he and that shape are tied together. I mean we all know exactly what a “Beatles Bass” is. Tim modernized the design in my eyes. I don’t think it is just the fact that it’s 6 strings either. I think this would work well as a 4 string too.

tim sway you’re welcome. This deserves to command a high price. The detail, fit and finish, the materials, all top notch. Plus I love that you stuck with your philosophy of being as eco friendly as possible.

"Weirdly suggestive sanding.." LOL-immediate like!

6 струнный бас с приятным дизайном? НЕВЕРОЯТНО!

When I see lots of saw dust while watching woodworking videos, I find myself blowing at my phone in hopes to seeing the satisfying sight of it flying away.

I can clearly see a fourth dimension, just curled up so it is invisible for us. Spacetime, huh? Quantum effects? And all you bla bla bla is bats and stupid violins. You are Newton fans? Poor souls...

This marvel makes "custom" models of famous brands sound like a joke. Mahogany looks so great and everything blends together superb! Even pickups are custom made and sound was lovely. Big thumbs up!

Truly a work of art, zero frets and stainless frets are the future

My new favorite bass,beautiful

This is the first time I have heard a bass of 5 or more strings sound warm. In fact, I would say that this is the warmest fatest midrangey bass I have ever heard. It sounds amazing. He's doing a good job a playing it to demonstrate that tone and what it can do. On most of hte videos he has done, he does not spend enough time demo'ing the sound of the guitar, and often he does not do a good job of finding the guitars tone. He's better on woodworking than guitar, but not today. He's getting a delectable bass sound on that awesome instrument.

my god, what a beautiful instrument

Don't know how I missed this video work of art and tone supreme plus long scale violin style bass. Paul himself would love such a bass.

as an owner of a 6-string bass that I affectionately call The Beast (because it's a large green monster lol) I enjoyed this build a lot.

I really enjoy your commentary and I think that just a little bit of light jazz in the background would perfectly complement it. Nothing too loud or too spicy, just some very calm music. As always, beautiful craftsmanship!

I would PROUDLY PAY THAT BASS! It is truly beautiful A instrument is better when it made with love.

Every time I see one of your creations, they show leaps and bounds in your growth as a luthier. Incredible build and I hope to own one of your pieces in the future.

Great video! It's been awesome being a part of this project and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I'll definitely be using it for years to come! Beautiful craftsmanship and it sounds so warm and heavy. She'll be the belle of the bass ball haha Edit: just received it! Super solid work and it got a crazy deep and fat tone! It's so much fun to play and I can't put it down!

Thanks for the opportunity. I love doing builds like this because I never would have thought this up on my own. The collaboration really is mutually beneficial.

Looks so professional yet homemade at the same time in the absolute best way possible. Amazing job as always Tim!

You just get better with each build. Very nice.

Beautiful Instrument....... a novel take on the old "Beatle Bass" look. You are a true craftsman.

I think this is my favorite out of all the builds I've watched on the channel. It's a beauty for sure.

Words can't describe how much i loved this, everything is plain perfect.

That came out really nice. You might ask your client to film a little thing where he takes it thru it's paces so we can see her go.

what a beautiful six string bass it's like you found a giant's guitar, and neck is WIDE and the sound DEEP love it

Felix Papalardi & Jack Bruce both played Gibson EB-O violin basses. Late 1950’s. They looked and sounded wicked! Listen to Mountain, Crossroader and Cream, Politician. You will hear that rich Gibson bottom.

YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST, BEAUTIFUL WORK

Geez mate you have got it Well and truly together,

I love every job you do..but that bass is so insane..

Your guitars are getting reealllyyy good

I love that crazy radius

Very cool... Fine quality workmanship, with the experimenter's mindset. With woods being so DANG expensive, I love that you're sourcing the "extras"... it saves money and prevents waste. Super Cool project. This makes more MORE willing to experiment with stuff than I usually am.

This ... ugh. I WANT one! So beautiful 😍

Tim, you have outdone yourself. Honestly one of the coolest instruments I have seen you make...

One very specific thing I like on this is the small fingerboard radius, for me that helps playing double stops and triads, which is something 6 string lends itself to. It's hard to find instruments with modern features but a tight radius.

@timsway

4 жыл бұрын

I got a little carried away on the radius but it feels real natural to me. I hope the client feels the same way! Yes, typically extended range instruments get very flat.

Probably my favorite build you’ve done, Tim. Love the detail and different woods mingling together. Sounds great as well!

I. Need. This. Bass... Beautiful bass. I love it.

Excellent work

Wow! What an absolutely stunning thing! It inspires me to put all things aside and just do basses for living.

Beautiful build, fantastic work.

man that radius is dummy round! it turned out so cool.

Luv it Tim,this is one of your finest works imo

Woah! That's a serious radius on the neck!

That looks as beautiful and sounds as good as those ultra high end Fodera basses. Nice job!

Good thinking on the 2 truss rod neck and carbon fiber rod. Love neck stability.

Super impressive, well designed and thought through bass Tim. Love it. Sounds good too.

You've excelled yourself again Tim. I love how you are a wonderfully creative woodworker as well as a musician (and bye the way, make videos too! - far out). Awe inspiring! Keep up the good work. Cheers, David

Looks amazing!

Masterful craftsmanship that resulted in an absolutely awesome bass!

I think this is one of the coolest things you've made so far!

Cool as always .

Man, what a beautiful build. Looks super badass and I bet it plays like a dream. Excellent video. 🔥🔥🔥

Beautiful!! Sounds wonderful!!

Lovely build!

Wow, this one is a beauty! Great fit and finish. I'm sure the new owner will love it. Mahalo for sharing! : )

A standout amongst the rest!!! Very cool project with awesome results!!!

In few words:Congratulations for this wonderful work!!!

Absolutely gorgeous bass, Tim!

Pretty job! Congrats!!

And this is why I want to start making my own instruments... sure then big name companies out there could do a good job, but this looks fantastic... you really put the effort and work into making this spectacular instrument that not only looks good but sounds amazing as well! I’ll be subscribed to see more 😁

Hey, very cool to see the creative process and craftsmanship in action. Thanks for sharing.

'Weirdly suggestive sanding' ..I laughed out loud...I wasn't expecting that hilarity as video is already very interesting and entertaining..that comedic moment was most welcome though 🤣🤣🤣 I also like the way we didn't have to wait til the end to see it finished product. Beautiful sounding and great looking instrument. Wonderful.

Beautiful work

That's a pretty unique sounding bass, looks great too! Very chunky and cool looking. Excellent work!

So clean. It looks and sounds amazing. I'd love to see what that looks like with binding. Fantastic work!

I'm not always super impressed by the guitars you make, which is fine because you're still learning and improving, but this one is really fantastic. Great work.

Most of them I make on this channel are experiments and concepts. This is both of those things but for a client, so the work goes in to it.

Paul McCartney's bass is a "Hofner". The company makes violins as well, which is where they got their iconic bass design from. They sound great.
