Making a Sub-Octave Bass for Nate Navarro - Workshop sounds, no talk
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Finally, It's completed! We started work on this collaboration project more than a year ago, we postponed it a couple of times due to other projects and workload but we managed to bring it to the end. We would like to thank Nate for giving us this chance to bring this project to life and create something new and unique. As you can already tell by the title, this instrument is tuned to an octave lower than standard tuning. To achieve this we had to lengthen the scale and order custom made strings just for this project. We used similar design we use for our spring bass model but with more intricate wood combination. We used maple, walnut and mahogany. You can see the details about the guitar throughout the video, just don't forget to turn on the captions!

You are so lucky to have such a beautiful bass guitar. I could only dream of having that. Gurgur and Gustav made you an Excalibur. Organic lower tones sound so much more fulfilling than an effect.

This bass is sick! And I saw Nate Navarro playing it, so heavy and so grave! Thank you guys for this video, God bless you all and greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
It's a tiny detail, but I really like the little loops that hold the strings on the headstock. An interesting alternative to string trees.
WOW! An electric octobass! Can't wait to hear this in action! and ------ I was not disappointed!! Awesome work guys!
Slugs in the garden, my favorite part of the build! 😃 Seriously, though, I'm a bass player, and I appreciate the time and craftsmanship it takes to create an instrument that's a work of art like this one.
Glue is the unsung hero of this build. Amazing how the layers of wood can be subjected to such stress and stay together. Fantastic build.
Wow 😮 Even the trussrod was made in-house 😳 Talk about custom…
Outstanding craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing. A beast of an instrument for a beast of a musician.
Always a treat to watch your craftsmanship
So nice seeing a bass guitar being created. 👏👌🎸 Thanks.
This is amazing. I am just beginning to build bass guitars, still in my living room putting together a shit-ton of saws in my spare room... It's an amazing journey and your channel is inspiring. This bass is a step in the evolution of the instrument. Congratulations!
The timing, just after i finished Rob Scallon's video on making an electric guitar --- BOOM, you upload making a bass guitar! 🙂 Excellent build quality, as always!

sick looking bass, wish i could have one!
I really love your builds. One thing I would like to point out is the glue you use for layering. As far as I can tell, that's PVA glue. Now, it's an amazing wood glue in most cases, but luthiers don't really use it for building and repairing, because of a critical property. When it dries, it stays just slightly rubbery. In construction or furniture making that is in no way a problem. However when you're building an instrument, that thin layer of soft material between the good quality wood can lead to dampening of the vibrations throughout the body and neck. A much better option for laminating would be 2 component jeweler's epoxy. It sets up super hard, so it would be the ideal material for transfering vibrations. Another good option is Titebond original wood glue. It is made of aliphatic resin, that has better properties than PVA. You can do a really easy experiment. Put a dab of PVA and Titebond side-by-side on a piece of wood, let it completely dry, then try to sand it. You'll find that while the PVA will gum up the sandpaper and shred, you can beautifully sand Titebond. I hope this was at least interesting for you guys, even if you stick with your methods.
I like the hanging bridge design. More should implement that even on more standard scale lengths.
The author does like to from scratch, kzread.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
Brother that thing is fkn gorgeous. What an attractive shape.

Oh, man! It sounds AMAZING. I never heard a sub-octave bass and after all that manufacturing runtime it sure was cool to hear somebody play it. Watch as I hurriedly post my Steinberger L-2/5 on eBay so that I will have the funds to purchase one of these SUPER AMAZING SOUNDING bass guitars. Wow! Are you in a band or do you just employ those mad bass skills as a session player. Again, thanks for being the first time I got to HEAR such an amazing SOUNDing instrument.
oh wow i really want this
The quality of cheap instruments went up a lot with the advent of CNC, and it's a lot of fun to watch one carve precious wood slabs.

That radial arm type saw is the most dangerous thing I have ever seen in a shop.
I want this!
Kalium, the string company, has a 40 inch (1016 MM) scale bass they call the Quake that comes in both single and multi-scale options. I assume it was originally made so they'd have something to get a good tension to be able to show off the 0.266 gauge string that they make
I so wanted to hear it played at the end…

Wonderful bass. Have you ever looked into resin casting for the knobs?
The guitar is absolutely spectacular. Are they special pickups, or special strings?
Impressive. Strap lock locations are more functional on the back of the body.
Really love what you have done with the magnetic access covers, great idea I'll have to try - thanx Why did you make so many truss rods - please let it be so you can make more of these. Does it have to be unique? Couldn't this be a prototype? If you were making mk2 what would you do differently? What price are we talking? My attempts at the sub-bass concept failed miserably due to only increasing string gauge and not scale length. What gauges are you using? To my mind hearing it the E0 could do with being thicker and under greater tension. Seriously interested in this as product as well as this beautifully made work of art.
Monstro!
It's beautiful. Both the knobs and the string loops seem like they should be better, higher-grade to be in keeping with the rest of the instrument.
I need this bass

We have a standard neck angle although we made a few guitars lately with straight head. The little hooks hold the strings down. Although I'm not entirely sure if we will continue with this design.
