My only gripe is that it should have 24 frets. This may seem inconsequential but Peter actually used the 24th fret. ("She Burned Me Down" and "Burnt Flowers Fallen" are two examples I can think of off the top of my head.) Other than that, I dig it! It looks like Peter's Esh. TON never used glow-in-the-dark tape or inlays that I know of, but they should have, since it would added nicely to their stage presentation.
That is awesome, Harry. 😎🤘🏻🎸 and it’s pretty cool that you were able to make an exact replica a Peter steele’s esh bass from a jazz bass kit. That’s real crafty and ingenious.
Wow this is awesome man great GREAT JOB MAN !!!!! absolutely killer man I love typo negative and I think Peter Steele is definitely a underrated bass player for sure
I've been wanting a new bass for a while and you've inspired me to just make it myself; couldn't thank you enough for that needed push. My bands tone is heavily inspired off of the tone of type o and other 90's bands, and as a fellow Boss katana user I highly recommend the super chorus and dimension c pedals put after any ol' distortion pedal. Keep on rockin' it man 🤘
Should be easy enough to recreate his tone with a Boss amp, as all the pedals he used were boss. He ran a DS-1, Super chorus, and DD-3 through one amp, and just his plain dry signal through another amp to make up for the ds-1 cutting all his low frequencies
I used to string mine BEAD after I learned he did. I would Buy a set of 5s and leaving out the g string, I did that to a Washburn 4 string. Great job by the way! Looks great.

Well, since this is my first bass, I just plugged into a boss katana guitar amp and used some basic chorus and distortion. Then added the bass back in with EQ afterwards. Really any chorus and distortion would get the vibe, but I think Peter used boss pedals. Hope that helps :)
what's the music playing in the background? did you make it? sounds very nice also using nail polish to paint your frets is the most goth thing ever, it looks very nice in the dark
Pete originally used green paint so a small brush that let's you get close to those frets. A brush you can control not a brush that will puke paint where ever it wants to.
@@ayanjaved322 it's green paint nail polish is essentialy spray paint out of the aerosol can. Does the paint on the body of your guitar/bass effect the instruments tone. If your fret board is rosewood it will suck up a bunch of that paint being it's a porous wood. It might take a little more paint depending on the wood. If you didn't want brush strokes an air brush gun or a spray can will do the trick also. Just cover the parts you don't want painted with tape and newspaper.
Hey thanks very much :) that was me doing some guitar improvisation. If you wanna hear more check out my video 'Relaxing Guitar Improvisation'. Sorry I can't add links in the comments, but I put one in the top right hand corner at the start of the video for you :)
Hey man get a rasp not a file for wood maybe. Alot easier haha. My Dad has tools luckily. I have this same diy approach tho. Have made an evh franky and a joan jett melody maker on the cheap like this. Als9 turned a squier into a vintage fender ssshh
+1 for the Rasp idea! An old roommate got into luthiery and his productivity went through the roof once he moved on to using a Rasp. Japanese Shinto Rasps in particular are amazing for guitar building.
Hiya, I couldn't find an actual list, but I pretty much just built this from a cheap bass kit, the only things I got separately included the chain, paint, UV nail polish, and a Wilkinson Bass pickup (which in hindsight was a little too noisy for metal, so you could go for an actual humbucking bass pickup instead maybe) Hope that helps :)
Ain't gonna lie, that's a pretty sloppy result for such a big amount of work. Not sure what you referenced with the headstock, it looks more Voivod haha. But as long as you like the bass, that's what matters!
Congratulations man, nice shit you done👍🏻you destroyed your instrument... next time when you want customize it, send it to a Luthier dont do it yourself, if you dont have strenght in instrument built

it loses its ability to glow lke new pretty quicky....paint would be a better way I'd assume...maybe it's gotten better idk. (Two years later lol)
bass line off chorus from "everyone i love is dead" also very high, 22 or 24th fret
your only gripe? that headstock looks like it was involved in a car crash
A+++ for effort... you might want to give tape a try for the fret board inlays. You've got balls for doing this!
Thanks! I could've done but I thought I could get away without haha. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Wow! The work on headstock is amaizing!
The way you bend your tag end of the strings into the pulse zig zag like Pete did is very Type O Negative. Much love for that
Wow, neck green fret marks glow in the dark !!
Amazing !!
Great job !
That is awesome, Harry. 😎🤘🏻🎸 and it’s pretty cool that you were able to make an exact replica a Peter steele’s esh bass from a jazz bass kit. That’s real crafty and ingenious.
you’ve inspired me to make this my self now

Thank you so much!!! He definitely is, I'm glad you enjoyed, have a great day :)

Pedals also work best on the acoustic variant amp setting on the katana (or just straight through the send and return lol) 💚🤘
Oh wow that's nice to hear, thank you :) cool good luck, and you too 🤘
Yes, and I have also tried that :'D 💚

Very beauty guitar !! Nice job ! 💚💚💚
Thank you very Much :)
Looks sick man, I dig the sort of "jank factor" of it as most of Peter basses were completely modded
I turned out so beautiful. I love how the head looks like it came out of an Tim Burton's movie.
I used to string mine BEAD after I learned he did. I would Buy a set of 5s and leaving out the g string, I did that to a Washburn 4 string. Great job by the way! Looks great.
Fuck yeah man, great job, keep making awesome instruments and videos for them
that looks super dope
Thanks! :)
This sounds and looks awesome!
Thanks very much! :)

Oh cool thank you!, you're too kind hahaha :)
I love it, what kind of paint did you use? I wanna do this now lol
What a wonderful work of love. Thanks for sharing
Aww thank you :)
Great job! Looks and sounds awesome. 🤘TON🤘
Thanks! It was worth the work :)
@@harrygabrielmusic4455 well done 👍
I like your creativity. Id love an esh stinger, but they are very expensive. :)
Thanks! yea that's pretty much why I made this bass, tbh I would have built it even if I wasn't going to make a video on it :'D
Great job mate 👍
I'm the one that contacted Rolf from Esh to get Pete hooked up with them.
D.I.Y pure Attitude!
Thank you :) 💚
I have to do this now thank you so much for the walk through
Thanks glad you enjoyed :)
Man I love this I wish I could make me one I’m not that talented though but this is awesome
Can I ask what else you got goin on in the signal chain? Pickups, dist pedal, and amp you used?
Well, since this is my first bass, I just plugged into a boss katana guitar amp and used some basic chorus and distortion. Then added the bass back in with EQ afterwards. Really any chorus and distortion would get the vibe, but I think Peter used boss pedals. Hope that helps :)
@@harrygabrielmusic4455 oh jesus christ man stop it and get a bass amp… also learn to use your pinky for bass playing more than the ring finger.
Boss Ds-1 and super chorus are the two main pedals you need
If you look up a picture of his pedal board online you can dial in the sound just right to his specs even, that's what I did
Pete's neck pickup was actually a sustain unit.
I dig this!
what's the music playing in the background? did you make it? sounds very nice
also using nail polish to paint your frets is the most goth thing ever, it looks very nice in the dark
Awesome ⚡
Thank you :) 💚
no sandpaper?
what did you use for the chain strap?
How do you make the chain strap
I just bought a chain and cut it with a hacksaw, hope that helps :)
Good hands, Harry👍
what's good for putting green stuff on fret markers, any advice?
Pete originally used green paint so a small brush that let's you get close to those frets. A brush you can control not a brush that will puke paint where ever it wants to.
is it for wood?, I just wanna know if it's for wood? 'cause I hope it doesn't ruin the playability of it.

yea but the video you did said that do not try this at home which i'm not doing
especially the green nail polish
at the end when your playing i swear i can hear little bits of peters tone in your recording, so you got ballpark close id say.. good stuff
What was the music playing in the background. Really liked it
Hey thanks very much :) that was me doing some guitar improvisation. If you wanna hear more check out my video 'Relaxing Guitar Improvisation'.
Sorry I can't add links in the comments, but I put one in the top right hand corner at the start of the video for you :)
what tool did you use to shape the body
Hand tools haha! (saw, file, sandpaper), this was only for fun so that was all I really used :)
very good ! now try to add a piezo pickup to get that sizzling sound... you won't be disappointed i hope.
Hahahaha maybe one day, I did look into getting a bridge with one in, seemed like overkill for this though :)
7:22 I seen what you did there with the Metalocalypse thing
Cool
Hey man get a rasp not a file for wood maybe. Alot easier haha. My Dad has tools luckily. I have this same diy approach tho. Have made an evh franky and a joan jett melody maker on the cheap like this. Als9 turned a squier into a vintage fender ssshh

Do u have a parts list?
Hiya, I couldn't find an actual list, but I pretty much just built this from a cheap bass kit, the only things I got separately included the chain, paint, UV nail polish, and a Wilkinson Bass pickup (which in hindsight was a little too noisy for metal, so you could go for an actual humbucking bass pickup instead maybe)

Nice video, who is the music, please :)
Thanks! the music was just me playing some guitar, if you would like to hear more I have a video called 'Relaxing Guitar Improvisation' :)
😳🤘🌹 Fucking beautiful man!!!!
Glad you like it! :))
@@harrygabrielmusic4455 cool how it goes in the dark like that!😀
Thanks!!, it's UV Nail polish btw ;) :)
💚🖤🤘🏼🇧🇷

I think he was going for the look of an Esh Stinger, which Peter used in the mid '90s.
god this is painful to watch lmao 😂😂
edit: damn it sound good
Your shed has a Jeffrey Dahmer vibe to it. Well Done!👏
Congratulations man, nice shit you done👍🏻you destroyed your instrument... next time when you want customize it, send it to a Luthier
dont do it yourself, if you dont have strenght in instrument built
I'm wondering what you used to get that tone? Sounds killer!
