I do not know why the TH-cam algorithm suggested this to me, but I watched it all, without skipping any part. This instrument is a piece of art, hopefully it will find its way into the hands of a virtuoso player, where it will shine.
Thank you!
What a beautiful words :)
Mo tiene boca de resonanvia
My hat is off to you, building an instrument with just basic tools is the mark of a true craftsman.
Thank you!
@@GitaraMaker ?
He did a great job, but the many machine tools he used are hardly 'basic tools'.
Limited tools but the tools are basically either designed for this or he made them to be used for this.. So it's a workshop for Guitars...
Basic tools your kidding yourself man , not even close , those tools cost , you must have dollars or other currency flowing out your backside .
Wow the end product is incredibly beautiful, and as an intermediate woodworker I learned so many things from watching you use all the special jigs and leveraging fairly simple tools to make a remarkable product
Completely mesmerized. Thank you so much for sharing this huge project with us in a few minutes. So much more appreciation for all the wonderful luthiers who have made my guitars!
The most captivating instrument video I have ever come across !
Thank you!
Pinch of salt in the glue bed works for me. No nails necessary. Great job!
When this fellow gets near to the end of his life, he can look at his hands and say, "Well done,"
So many good ideas. Pencil with ball bearing for marking. Heat gun and metal tube.. brilliant and a beautiful instrument!
You’re builds are always so beautifull
Thank you!
@@GitaraMaker Where i buy it
Three quarters through the video I am thinking, "I have these tools, I have that touch, I can build something like this"......
After watching you play this beautiful instrument I'm thinking, "I cannot build this and it actually play".......
Amazing Work, Simply Amazing Work
Thank you! I believe you can also make something like this.
Fantastic job !!
I always love the part in these instrument building videos when the wood takes it's first coat of a finish.
When you apply the wax it has the same effect as when an artist gives an oil painting a coat of varnish and all the detail and colours jump out at you 🙂Wonderful !
My father was a manufacturer of electric guitars and other wooden musical instruments, in the '70s...How many thoughts, how many memories!!!
Impressive from start to finish. When you got to making the kerfling and the braces I was just in awe. Super impressive build.
Using what looks like a drill press at 11:35 in order to flush everything up is a genius idea. Even if it isn't a drill press, you *could* use one if you don't have a planer since drill presses are more common.
Drill bench
folks like you leave me in awe and admiration.
Just what a work of art and craftsmanship.
the trick with the bearing wheel line trace is awesome!
Imagining 20-years-in-the-future twoodfrd lamenting over the difficulty of doing a neck reset on this ;)
(But I love the bass!)
Really fantstic. The carve/relief and the soundhole position are SO classy and the instrument is both beautiful looking and sounds great.
Every process you do is like you put your soul into it. That's why the result is like a living thing. Well, you shall give "em" name too😁
I just want to say as another luthier who does this as a hobby and for fun when you cut into the sound board for the faux cutaway I had a small heart attack haha it was put together so nicely and it was so unexpected lol nice build man its very impressive seeing all the work done start to finish like this usually I'm to lost in the moment to appreciate all of it the way I can watching this video
Haha it doesn't feel right when you roughly cut something that already has a binding on it. Cheers and have a good one!
@@GitaraMaker no it doesnt but sometimes you need to haha hope you have a good one too brother
Wonderfully made, as a bass player I would love to have this bass ❤
Your solution for not having a big expensive drum sander is genius.
I am delighted. I really like to see how people produce something good for people. This is very inspiring. Thanks for showing this.
A beautiful piece of craftsmanship. A work of art has been achieved that belongs in the hands of an artist. I enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thanks💐👌
Love that first test bassline, sounds kinda similar to the one in “in the mood”
I think uke basses are one of the coolest instruments. As a professional cabinetmaker and a woodworking teacher you chose some very unconventional ways to do things. Those braces look way heavier than they need to be - there would be a lot more acoustic sound with lighter bracing. The end result though must say was pretty good.
The extra bracing will definitely help with the longevity of the instrument. Those thick steel strings will definitely try to bend it over time.
@@alexandermiller5425Those are rubber strings. These rubber ukulele bass strings are incredibly low tension.
What thick braces he carved and scalloped them
Have you ever seen the inside of a acoustic instrument
What a beautiful instrument. And using the disc sanding attachment on the drill press is actually genius.
Thank you!
Agree to that. Very clever. Why have not i think about that ?
That is a lot to remove with a sanding disc. I'd plane it down and maybe finishing it with the disc
@@orbodman Not everybody has access to or the funds to buy a planer. Using a sanding disc for this is an admirable low budget workaround, and you wouldn't have to worry about chipout on those thin boards, either.
@@AmuroRae not a planer. I said plane, as in hand plane. I would always hand plane the boards first.
Late as I am to see, but I'm glad to have seen a wonderful craftsman at work, I wink my eyes only few times till I finished watching to the end. Thank you so much.
Wonderful workmanship, and truly impressive results!
I just subscribed to you because of that bearing trick with the pencil and the guide. That is genius. I am going to apply that to sewing. It will work perfectly with my foamboard patterns.
Thank you!
Great build! I love the grabber style headstock, it looks great with the rest of the build.
I love the sanding disc on the drill press, with what appears to be a" floating" table, or we can call it drill press with "soft underpinnings" then the dial indicator !! Perfect! Laid back, cool tunes,spectacular product! Excellent video-ing!
Thanks!
Such a beautiful journey, to watch you work. Smooth
Fantastic build! - love the truss rod routing template trick!
That steambending technique was crazy
My god! Amazing work 😀
Thanks!
This is a work of art. Very creative and smooth.
Thank you
Amazing job with all the builds you´ve done on your channel. Your eye for detail is outstanding. Great job.
Your top rig for holding down sticks to hold down glued pieces and the bottom cushion is in my imagination now.
That the sticks come in sizes is so bad ass.
Until you put the stings on, I forgot this one is a bass. Nice build! 👍
I almost judged you for not putting in a truss rod then I kept watching, needless to say I’m glad I kept my mouth shut amazing job!
VRAIMENT SUPERBE ET QUELLE PATIENCE POUR CE RÉSULTAT. BRAVO POUR CETTE RÉALISATION
The cutaways are just like the ones on the Washburn-Oscar Schmidt. Nice!!
Ow wauw!!! The force is strong in this one! Jeeeessh!!! This dude knows what he's doing! 😍😍😍
Breathtaking work. Bravo!
A lovely build. Two things. First fitting the dovetail so it is UNDER the top (rather than cut into it) makes life miserable for a repair person if a neck reset is ever needed - probably unlikely with low tension. Second, I wish you had given a shout out to my old friend Nigel Thronbory and his colleague Al Ashworth, who devised the orginal solid body version (the Ashbory bass) and perfected the 'rubber' strings and the tuners. The bass went through a number of big makers (with various quality control criteria), none of whom really made a success of it, but it has a dedicated cult following.
I have a ubass that I love dearly but this looks miles ahead of that in terms of build quality. Good stuff!
The only, ONLY, thing that I'd do differently is to countersink the holes for the threaded inserts for the neck so that the base of the neck comes into full contact with the body. Beautiful work.
I love watching a luthier at work. Beautiful instrument. I hope it broke in nicely. Liked and newly subscribed.
Love this build. Your small shop approach gives me lots of ideas for tools and techniques. Thanks.
Thank you!
Audio test deserves it's own feature length video. Go cat go! Cook cook cook!
The work of a master is w always magic catchy & wonderful action! Great job!
Thanks!
Very beautiful and smart design choices. Well done. Very impressive.
wow the curvature making is pretty trippy 👏
Master Artisanal stuff here. Heirloom for certain!
Masterpiece! No more words...
Awesome build! Great video!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!
I wish I had in the area where I could build a bass and the tools to make it happen. So we'll just have to watch until....😢
AWESOMELY DONE, DUDE!!!❤❤
Magnífico trabalho, eu sou batera, mais sempre tive vontade de aprender violão!***
Wish I had a few basic tools like that 😊 great workmanship
Awesome. The cultivation of patience.
Amazing 👍 galing , pulido, nakaka satisfy
this is a work of art
...absolutely beautifull instrument, very nice work!
Thank you!
WoW beautiful work, you're an amazing craftsman, I also watched some at 2x speed and it gave it a cool effect. Naturally I put it to regular speed for the audio test.
Как разбогатеть
You're seriously the only one who doesn't use a router with a follower bit 😄hats off to you though, you're a very patient and talented craftsman.
this is the best video i'v seen in a month
Thank you very much! Now i can see that I don't need those fancy instruments other creators have. You showed how to decrease thickness of wood and how to bend wood.
Pretty sick build bro, Sounds dope too
OMG what a crazy challenge😢😢😢you are a real master and craftsman💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
This was beautiful to watch, thank you!
Thanks!
Good job, you make it look easy to build, that's pure talent 👌
Thank you!
Love the 1950's style playing!
This guitar is gorgeous.
Finally a builder who leaves an audio test
I am so using that drill press thickness sander trick. I even have a 1/4" (6.25mm) shank sanding pad I can use. Thanks for the idea!
Here's a tip for you. Tape a toothpick or nail onto your band saw's backstop to act as a stop while cutting your kerfing. Cheap, simple and effective.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try that next time!
Amazing!!!
Amazing work
Nice work. Beautiful instrument. I'm also a bassist/carpenter. I'd really like to hear this with different string setups on it.
Thanks! I think steel round wound might sound good on this bass, I'll try that.
@@GitaraMaker Awesome! Looking forward to it :)
Uma arte por si só
You are master man..congrats!
Fantástico seu instrumento.
Awesome ! 😊
A thing of beauty my friend. Bravo !
Thanks!
I think a quick plane of the pieces that make up the neck block is necessary before gluing up. No pieces that are rough sawn should be glued together.
Good Job‼️Fantasy‼️Cool‼️Very Funcky ‼️Wonferful❣️🌏
from Japan🍻
Trabalho espetacular!!!!!
Really cool!
Parabéns pelo belo trabalho!
I have no idea why I haven’t thought of the sander attachment in the drill before
Genius
Always a great watch with an even better instrument made
Perfect & Fantastic
People like you are frigging AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you!
Amazing workmanship and artistic design in this build and it's a true work of art! As somebody else mentions below, in the proper hands this one will shine, for sure!
Wow!! Fantastic job..
beautiful
最高のBGMです。製作の工程の多さに驚きました😮
Que hermoso dulce melodia.. ❤❤❤❤ no tengo plata si no ya te pedirá uno pa argentina 😊😊
That’s a great watch
Loved the sound of your hard work.
Thank you!
