beautiful. sure would like to hear it.

You are an inspiration to build your own bass guitar. Thanks to you I will try to build my first bass guitar.

Excellent!! Great job, congrats!

Great job.

pure art

nice build, been building already some bolt on basses and now starting my first neck thru. thanks for sharing this!

I think the most amazing thing is how strong wood glue is!

Yeah, very strong!

Very nice.

Успехов в работе 😉👍

What?? No playing it? C'mon man! I want to hear that Hulk bass ^_^

Very Nice! Good luthier skills. I was worried when I saw the stain going on. But relieved that you topped it off with oil rather than tons of high gloss lacquer. Cheers and Well Done!

Damm that's from scratch. Awesome

Greetings from Ph. 🇵🇭! Nice creation good sir. Hoping that guitar to go international and someday i could afford to buy one.

Very interesting and some solid skills on show. What was the stain you used? It looks great.

Great job! What's composite you use for filling logo on the head?

Very nice work 👌🏿👍👍👍

I love your finish. Which staining? Topcoat?

Great Skills here young man. Note: I could do with a shorter horn in the higher register area for a better reach though.

thanks! Yeah, I understand. This design though, with the kind of reversed strat shape, was more or less my bass players idea, whom I built this bass for.

Very nice workmanship. The registration pins for the fretboard were a very clever idea. Kinda killed me when you stained it all green though. To each hos own, I guess.

thanks man. honestly, I wasn't fond of the whole green thing either, but that's what my band's bass player wanted, so there was nothing I could do ;)

I'm fairly new to luthier work (a few months experience). How much experience would you say a project like this requires? With careful planning and sufficient materials/tools + some assistance, would this be realistic for an inexperienced guitar maker?

really awesome...I wonder why you set the neck with slightly negative neck angle and then routed the top flat and then sunk the bridge into the top slightly...seems like if you had set the neck flat you could have just mounted the bridge right on the top. Most basses get assembled with a slight neck angle (ideally)

Hi! Well, actually there’s no angle on the neck. It may look like it but there’s none. I sunk the bridge slightly because during shaping the arm rest on the body I accidentally also curved the surface where the bridge would eventually be. So by sinking it I had a flat surface to mount it on.

I'd love to do my own build, however the amount of technique and general know how, mistakes to avoid, critical areas and a list of other things makes me hesitant trying to build my own.

Just go for it. You will do mistakes and you’ll also correct them. You’re only shaping wood 😉.

I'm still gathering a few necessary tools in my Wood Shop. I have an idea to build a ported body out of Waterfall Bubinga with a Maple and Purple Heat neck with a Ebony fretboard. I might even try some inlay work on the fretboard. For now it's a future project that's going to require some thought and more research and nice sharp tools.😉

Beautiful work man.. These videos are straight therapeutic for me. I enjoy them massively. Where can one go to have a bass made and whats the going price?

LowMan Josh thank you very much! I‘m currently setting up my new workshop. This bass guitar was a gift for the bass player of my band Delirium’s Dawn. So for now, this is a very tiny custom type of situation! ;) but we‘ll see what’s gonna happen in the future.

hello there what tools did you use for the build and what was the cost of them? (rough estimation)

street N' Dirt fighters Hey, well there a quite a few different tools that I used. You‘ll need all the basic hand tools such as a hammer, rasp, file and so on. There are of course more specific luthiery tools as well like a fretting file etc. You‘ll need power tools as well, the most important being a router. In this build the bandsaw and thicknesser planer were probably the only power tools that I didn’t own. I built up my tool stock over the past 10 years and probably spend around 2000$.

Hi sir , sir please can you tell me what are the measurements of frets in alembic epic bass guitar

You can order a fret scale template from Stewart McDonald that will have all the positions for your frets without having to measure and mark each fret. It’s so much easier.

Looks like a Keith Merrow Schecter guitar.

Sound ?

Sir you have a blueprint of this sir because I build my own bass guitar sir thanks

Hi, sorry. I have no blue print That's the convenient thing about neck through constructions. It's pretty straight forward. You basically measure everything on the wood itself as you go along.

I don´t like the fact that is a neck-through and you can´t see it because the body is painted. I would like better to see the purple wood in the body.

What the fuck does it sound like?????
