Glad you enjoyed it!! Appreciate the support :)

Can't stop addicted to the shinding!

Really awesome job! Looks and sounds great. Funny timing, I JUST tried building a jazz bass(ish) from scratch too. Yours looks a million times better than mine lol. I kinda got to a point where I just wanted the dang thing to be done so I didn't care if it was perfect, so having gone through the process massive respect for the time and effort gone into this

I'm glad you enjoyed Gavin!

amazing!!!

Beautiful bass!

Sounds great. If only I had a garage of my own.

Good job. I'm currently not equipped nor able to make a body, and even less a neck, which I think is the hardest part to manufacture. A small subjective comment: I would have kept the Squier logo. Putting Fender logos on Squier necks is a no go.

Either the Squier logo or a custom logo but definitely not a Fender logo

Fantastic!!! What a great job in this bass, congrats!!!!

Happy to help! And feel free to ask any questions!

Really impressive Jotham. I truly 'get' how important it is to have your instrument be a comfortable fit next to your body. I've tried Telecasters and could never tolerate the constant bruising and 'jabbiness'-(that's proper English, by the way) to my rib cage......I'm strictly a Strat girl! The guys in the band never seemed to understand. It's cool that you get it! Keep doing what your doing.It's all great.

Thanks so much Joanna :) I feel that 100%! Telecasters sure are a lot to handle at times. Appreciate your support!!

Sick video Jotham! Never knew you had a channel! You’ve earned a new subscriber! It sounds and looks very good! No idea what any of the bass lines were though😂

This is amazing! Can you tell me what is this little Delta bandsaw you used for the template? What's the model? And wasn't it strong enough to cut the body itself?

@playalongtabs

Off the top of my head it's a Delta 40-570 scroll saw so it unfortunately doesn't have as much power as a bandsaw. I haven't really pushed it to it's limit though so I'm now curious how thick of a piece of wood I could use it on! Thanks for watching

I have this constant one-upmanship battle with my imaginary friend. I build a kit bass, and he says, did you cut it from a slab? So the next build is from a slab. And then he says, did you cut down a tree to get the wood? so the next instrument is from a tree that I cut down. And he asks, did you plant the tree? Of course not. So the next instrument is from a tree that I planted. And then he says, but did you use hand tools so the next instrument is built just using hand tools. And then my internal friend says, but did you make the tools? The point is, you did a great job!😅

I never bought a template actually! Just traced it out on that board

Id really like to tey 1 of these but the pick guards ruin the look for me. Can anyone explain how the plastic takes paint ? A way to eliminate a pickguard from this style ? How can you express your colors with a piecse of plastic blocking 80% of the look

@playalongtabs

Totally possible to not use a pickguard! Check out the Jaco Pastorius bass.I know that for some guitar/bass models the pickguard covers the wiring underneath but most people that use pickguards like the looks of them and enjoy customizing them to different colours

Hey Jonathan would you build me a costume 5 string jazz bass that would be super cool

I'll get right on it 😂

1st was Red Hot Chili Peppers , forgot the name of the song however.

Bro those routing templates were silly.... if you're not gonna make your template precise, you might as well just freehand it... then you'd at least have an excuse for not getting the pickups lined up with the strings
