    WOW!
    That is one delicious bass!
    Love it, favourite build video so far.
    I think the pic guard looks right and in fact sexy with that unique scoring.
    Can not wait for the next bass build or indeed any build.
    Thanks for sharing Ben.

    I liked the spalting too, and the carving of grooves was interesting. The pickguard treatment was something that I never would have thought of either. But the weirdest thing is the name Ben gave it. Must be Gaelic or something. He said “I’m calling it Dunphornow.”

    Thankyou for building a bass. I love your channel for a long time and the last few builds especially!! The paduak pointy, the bog oak and this one are the best I have seen (all of them). Basses have always pushed innovation a bit more than guitar electronically and in design aswell. Modern guitar is finally catching on mainly pushed by people like you! The biggest thing that you have taught me is the line between respecting and showing off beautiful woods but also pushing away from the norm and this build is a perfect example of that. Thanks again and look forward to the next bass!!

      Yes. I've thought the same thing for a couple years. Hopefully soon, and hopefully a very, very rich, dark roast, plenty of tannins, and maybe just seconds after a thick bit of dark chocolate, black cherry creme has been added, but NOT YET stirred in...
      I suddenly know what to prepare for dessert tonight for my wife and I...
      And I also have a fireworks display of ideas for finishes I need to begin experimenting with for very near future guitar and bass builds...
      I've some pieces of figured Claro Walnut, Ziricote, Cocobolo, intensely figured Wisconsin (Rock) Sugar Maple, a few reclaimed pieces of figured, spalted Rock Maple that I've already cut into book matched pairs, and even a figured Mahogany, that may need to experiment with.
      Thank you for the spark of imagination! I haven't used coffee as even a component of a wood coloring since I did some living room tables and shelves, and that was probably 16 or 17 years ago.

      I used to work in a prison back in the 1980’s where the inmates made hobbycraft projects out of wooden match & popsicle sticks. Being that chemicals were not allowed, they used instant coffee to stain the wood & controlled the shade by varying the concentration.

    Wicked thought for the pickguard... Carve down to the white layer and make it look like the inverse of the spalting in the Ash body. Make the spalt lines meet up from the body to the pickguard and carry through. Just a thought for a future build, or a secondary pickguard.

    Dear Ben,
    I am absolutely thrilled with the new bass guitar you have built. For many months I have been waiting for exactly that. The bass looks really great and also the pick guard with the strips fits perfectly to the grain of the wood. Should you ever consider selling the bass, raffle it off or get rid of it in any other way, I hope to watch the video in time and have a chance to get the bass.
    Anyway, thanks for the great instructions, keep up the good work. My favorite luthier :o)

    Really beautiful job on this one. If it was me, I would have left it au naturale with no pick guard at all, but I know I'm different that way. However, the way you lightly scratched the guard did give it a unique look that ultimately went well with the contrasting spalting on the rest of the body. I enjoyed this series thoroughly, and while my own J-bass build will not be nearly this dramatic, I'm still taking a bunch of tips from watching this series. Thanks for sharing!

    Ben, just build a watch already... :) I'd love to see some kind of machining on a guitar, Maybe a metal pickguard with engine turning would be cool. This scratchplate manages to look bespoke, even though I'm used to not seeing them on your instruments. There's nothing wrong with using them, per se, they're everywhere, and most people own an instrument with one after all let's face it. Interesting, most watch guys go for a G-shock first, I like some of those original quartz watches, the calc watch is such a classic. Makes me think of Marty McFly.

    I have no problem with the scratch plate. I made a custom telecaster for a friend and I took the base scratch plate, scuffed it to hell, layered on epoxy and put a leather surface sheet on it. The telecaster itself was also not painted but covered in paisley. That leather scratch plate was a perfect look. Very proud of it for my first custom guitar build because it looks exactly like I wanted it to look while also having an adorable amateur scuffed feel.

    When this Bass becomes a natural relic with age … the scratches in the Scratchplate will become smooth and shiny … That's ironic !
    I wondered whether a clear, or translucent pickguard might be preferable … especially considering the naturally beautiful wood. Possibly a lightly smoked translucent … However, the 'matt' Black works pretty well also.
    My personal preference remains a veneer on the Headstock to match the Body … but, everybody has opinions. Would love to see a Rickie-type Bass next ...
    Keep up the Sterling work Mr Crowe & team. Stay healthy !

    Beautiful bass and a well-made series, I'm sad this build is over! Amazing work, Ben!

    Beautiful bass and wood selection. An alternative fretboard I would have considered, black Bog Oak. 😁 Thanks for sharing, mate. Greetings from San Francisco, California, USA 🇺🇸Cheers!
