Crimson Custom Guitars When I saw that, I almost dropped my tablet. Amazing. Being on two different continents would make it tough, but if the two of you could find a way to do some sort of collaboration, that would be fantastic.
Dan, you're literally the biggest sleeper of this competition. Your entry literally lifted my heart a bit. In competition full of guitar builders you've built a bass. With custom pickups Wound by another travelling youtuber Finished under blue sky While moving In space and being short on time To raise awareness for lack of access to water. Thank you man, your video surprised and satisfied me the most. Also calmed me after I found finished strat neck with nut and tuners for around 20 bucks on my local auction site and got soooo excited to finally start my dream strat build. Before realising that I'm in Norway and should finally find a job before buying non-essential items back in Poland :v I just had to share this story with fellow guitar ethusiast. Now I feel a bit better acting kinda responsible
I think everyone's awake now. I think the smaller channels have actually built the best 3 guitars ive seen so far. For me 3x3, big d and guns are tied for first and I cant make up my mind which I like better.
I love how he even pointed out that you called it though. I know it was good spirited trash talk, but sometimes it is hitting the nail on the head. Just watched your build video too. Finishing twice, ouch.
@@nickagervasi The double finish was something haha. At least Dan didn't design his entire build based on the trash talk like Ben haha. All the builds are super cool though.
That is most undoubtably the most modern awsome twist on a guitar kit I've ever seen. That headstock is so innovative I now have a new respect for this channel. Awsome job man!
Amazing work Dan! I'm sure i speak for a lot of people when i say that choosing to make a bass guitar was such a bold move that i think everyone in the competition did not expect but deeply respected it. The bass looks absolutely gorgeous! As a bass player myself, i truly hope that you will win and that someone out there will play that beautiful instrument with love and care. Stay safe Dan and everyone one else here enjoying the video!
"The best time to experiment is *names all the worst times to experiment*" . The Bass guitar looks really good. One of your best build in my opinion. Look forward for next weeks sound demo
Ahhhhhh, homeless ... um, guns and guitars! I love that you entered a bass. Thank you for joining in on the fun of the build off and making me find out about you!! Good stuff, well done, and I hope you at least tie Ben, Brad, and wonder bread!! I LO-HO-HOOOOVE that tuning peg design! Copyright that before someone steals it!! How well did it work out with string tension? The one time I've tried anything from scratch I've had to mess with the neck,and string sizes for tension.
Dan, you absolutely nailed it! Definitely the classiest build of them all, simply stunning. Just the right amount of mods to the original kit to put your own stamp on it and just the right amount of innovation to make it stand out. Great job!
Dan! That was great seeing Dylan in you Video! Great get together guys! Loved it. So Creative. And such nice timing and working together. You guys are amazing...I live such a boring life. You two are my Heroes...
Wow dude, I am impressed with how well you do with what I would call a "working man's toolset" if you catch my drift. Your engraving work is freakin' awesome too btw! Good luck!
You know, I've never been a religious person myself but I respect you a lot, Dan. You definitely make your religion public but you don't try to force it onto people which is something I really appreciate. You're an amazing person and I don't want you to ever change.
@@WesNorthOf45 I don't know how it works in America but I can't get a mortgage on an RV. And I sure as hell can't pay 100k out of pocket. And there's not a bank in the world that will lend me the money if I tell them I'll use it to drive around building guitars 😅 100k is definitely not bad for a home but considering you can't pay it over the course of 30 years it's a hell of a lot of money.
@@SyntheticFuture Greetings ! I'm gonna guess that just about every RV sold in The USA is sold based on debt, given our love for having massive debt. An $80,000 loan on an RV would likely come in under $800 monthly on a ten year term. Less than what one might pay for even the crappiest rental in many markets. There is a lot of wide open space, here in America. Mix in some free parking with some state park camping and some national forest camping. Maybe $500 for camping fees monthly. No automotive expenses necessary. RV's can be a bit guzzly with the petrol. Avoid unnecessary driving of the RV. Not impossible.
All of this stuff you guys are doing could easily be on television. I’ll be spending the rest of my evening watching all of the official and unofficial entries. Really great stuff !
Love the fact that you went a different direction for this! Very Dan of you lol. I do have to say though, this is by far my favorite of your build, and I've loved all of them, been following since your first strat build!
Wow, Dan, you really stepped up to the plate! So much to love in this video. The creativity with headstock is awesome, but so is the carving. I've seen you do carving on another build and it was equally impressive. That may be your calling card even more than the oddball wiring. Video production values were also outstanding with the scenics and the humor. Keep up the good work.
Hear the sound demo of this bass here: th-cam.com/video/E7KxyKHSWXA/w-d-xo.html The auction is live! Bid on this Bass here! www.ebay.com/itm/303682583723
I hope your wealthiest G&G fan plunks down 100K for that bass! The $$$ is already in the "unobtainium" range for me. I contacted Dylan for a set of those pickups! Thank you for introducing him on your video.
I must say that everything from the pickups to the headstock to the bridge are perfect, coming from a bass player. I would personally love to see a production model just like this, I would totally buy it (although perhaps in a 34” scale length)
Two of my favourite mobile / guitar-builder TH-camrs, bundled up in the same video? How could I ask for more? And, of course, a lot of respect for Dylan, for meeting you out there!
This is seriously one of the best bass build videos I've seen. Great editing, cool project, great explanations and not just a "parts" build but real building and wood working skills. Good music, awesome backdrops...just really cool. For me to watch an entire 28 minute TH-cam video is nuts.
SLAP LIKE NAO FOR 🅱️ASS. Editing after I watched the video, awesome job. The classic guitar style tuners are great, the pickups look great and your finish is stunning. Congratulations.
coolest entry done with tools anyone can get. so impressed by the headstock, all the ideas used and how you work it out from crude cuts to super skilled result. just awesome!!!
7:45 ... lol! Never explain the joke!! Never!! 😁 love the headstock design! Ha! Your dremel tool shaping noise was in tune with the background music!... Harbor Freight files! They are great, been using a set for a year or so!! I gotta say I'm amazed at your freehand routing and drilling! I'd've had nothing but tear outs from the word go! Wow! The resulting bass is so so cool!!!
Dan I'm blown away. I love love love your build! It is elegant and has so many unique design elements I cannot believe you made that out of your mobile outdoor workshop. I want to make a guitar as beautiful as your bass. You've got my vote!
Dan, dude, my brother in Christ, this video hit me way too hard. I laughed. I cried (yes for real). I shouted in excitement with my fist pumping into the air. Those pickups?? That artistic carve?!? That headstock design?!?!?! Paul Reed Smith should be on the phone with you right now begging you to come run his bass design shop. This instrument is exactly what they’ve been missing thus far. Finally, I probably can’t afford to win this auction, and I for sure hope the price on this gorgeous work of art spirals far out of my reach; however, you better believe that I’m going to bid early and often until my budget is exhausted. If you don’t win this contest, I’ll be shouting “Shenanigans!” from the rooftops. Truly amazing job. Truly.
great to see Dylan there! love both your attitudes....thanks for the inspiration. I have been making my first bass, and decided to step outside the lines of the norm as well. Totally worth it, be original. (side note: I freehand router ALL my pickup cavities. Just one of those things. I hate templates.) I hope that I have the skills to enter the buildoff this year!
Wow man... What a beautiful design. The PRS shape, the water carving and that Headstock!!! You should definitely be in the top 2. Great work! Congratulations
Incredible build, absolutely beautiful bass with unique qualities...i love it. Excellent choice going against the grain, and ....well, with the grain too. I hope you win the comp- but we all win with your channel sir.
Dan, you continue to amaze. Please keep doing what you're doing - ten years from now, I can easily see you being a household name in the world of custom guitar builders. Incredible build. Rock on, brother.
As a staunch atheist, I understand, but I just panned ahead until he he finished his paean. The excellent quality of his work is more than worth me dealing with that he, like the majority of humans, adheres to a mode of thought imbued in most people at a tender age. It is what it is. And it doesn't at all undermine my ability to enjoy his creativity and talent. But I feel you. The struggle is real.
Honestly Dan this is the best build you have done! Also the best in the competition. Classic but creative and different is a hard thing to pull off and this bass has it in spades. What truly sets this instrument into the next level is the headstock design very very unique. You speed up the videos and glaze over some things but your ability with tools is incredible..anyone that has ever free hand routed before will know that even the tiniest wrong movement is disaster lol. You have sold yourself short in your skills you deserve to be among these masters and IMO you have beaten them. Congrats!!
This is honestly one of the most beautiful bass guitars I have ever seen, you are truly an artist. Each instrument you have created has been spectacular but, at least for me, this tops them all
You are the man and a master builder! that bass is going to be AWESOME!! Can't wait to see the finish work of art! wonderful!! Amazing work Dan and love the fact that you picked a charity that not only helps !
Absolutely gorgeous guitar build and my favourite of the bunch (when you consider the strength of the competition, that is really saying something) Well done Sir!!
DAN! JUST WOW! THIS AXE IS ABSOLUTELY KILLER!!!! I cannot get over how cool the headstock is as well as the finish and of course the whole thing altogether! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Haven't even seen the video yet, but you've already won over this bass player's heart. Edit: 28 minutes later and I'm sketching my build. Don't matter how much neckdive it has, that headstock is epic.
Super cool build. Cant even begin to explain how jealous I am of your freehand router control. That Headstock reminds me of something Rick Toone did a few years back. Brilliant work.
All the way through this video, I kept thinking "Brilliant!": The pilot neck pocket route, the headstock design (you should patent this - seriously), the super clean ultra versatile electronics, and even the original dual P-bass pickups. Why has this pickup combo never (seemingly) been offered in a production instrument? Fender! Are you listening? GREAT job Dan! One of my favorite episodes on your channel.
Awesome-Awesome-Awesome Dan! Man WHAT an absolutely beautiful bass. Been away for a bit(computer crashed) but now I'm back dude. God bless you and your family. Hope all is well? Good luck with everything headed towards y'all.
Love/hate this build. Love the ideas, but not a short-scale base fan. But what I hate is that I have no excuses for building my own. Really great to see your resourcefulness in your builds while living in an RV!
Incredible build, Dan! 👍🏻🎸😎🤘🏼 You and Tamar are the best of the builders in this build-off. And you’re doing it while on the road. 🚐😳 Good luck! And awesome charity choice. 🌊🕊✝️❤️
Wow! I stumbled on this video and you are amazing. A one of a kind bass with a very cool build. I can't wait to hear how it sounds. Thank you Dan, you are an artist and a good man.
Great idea with the headstock. Makes so much sense too. Very cool to finally see someone put work into a bass. They always miss out on the love. Great build! Good luck!
That headstock is a perfect example of greatness being the result of talent, a good idea, and not quite enough time. I was interested before that point but when you showed the B-roll of the finished design I was SALIVATING.
I'm a newbie to your channel but I've been watching and loving most of the others for years. However, this is my favourite build in the competition. Great stuff and a great video to show us the process. Love it
That headstock!!!! Wow
Crimson Custom Guitars When I saw that, I almost dropped my tablet. Amazing. Being on two different continents would make it tough, but if the two of you could find a way to do some sort of collaboration, that would be fantastic.
But where's the auction link?
I agree, the headstock nails it. Great job, Dan.
@@getenlightened
There is a link in the description but it seems it will be auctioned later this month.
@@onpsxmember Thanks
I'd love to see that applied to an electric guitar!
Dan, you're literally the biggest sleeper of this competition. Your entry literally lifted my heart a bit.
In competition full of guitar builders you've built a bass.
With custom pickups
Wound by another travelling youtuber
Finished under blue sky
While moving
In space and being short on time
To raise awareness for lack of access to water.
Thank you man, your video surprised and satisfied me the most.
Also calmed me after I found finished strat neck with nut and tuners for around 20 bucks on my local auction site and got soooo excited to finally start my dream strat build. Before realising that I'm in Norway and should finally find a job before buying non-essential items back in Poland :v
I just had to share this story with fellow guitar ethusiast. Now I feel a bit better acting kinda responsible
Loved the nature scenes
Amen, the humor, the creativity, the scenery, the BASS! The bass build community loves you dude.
I think everyone's awake now. I think the smaller channels have actually built the best 3 guitars ive seen so far. For me 3x3, big d and guns are tied for first and I cant make up my mind which I like better.
Artur Brzozowski, you might literally need to see a cardiologist about your literally lifted heart.
@@horacebugzapper499 yeah. I might try to stop bouncing my butt of the chair as well
Stay true , Dan. That headstock is by far the coolest thing in the whole competition.
K agave to agree. Very cello'esque
Why did he not lower the neck instead of raising the bridge? Would look much cleaner.
Everything about that headstock is pure unprecedented coolness.
Check it out the 12 string electric rickenbakers from the 60’!
You're an absolute lunatic haha. That is awesome. Great work Dan.
I love how he even pointed out that you called it though. I know it was good spirited trash talk, but sometimes it is hitting the nail on the head. Just watched your build video too. Finishing twice, ouch.
Hello there
@@nickagervasi The double finish was something haha. At least Dan didn't design his entire build based on the trash talk like Ben haha. All the builds are super cool though.
Ya he is
Did you really need to create 50 accounts to downvote?
I just about died at the cameo from Dylan. 😂😂😂
I feel you 🤣
Lol, me too
You, Sir, are my hero. You stood up for the low end. Thank you. Really, thank you.
Someone get this man a job designing the prs basses
I think he just did. Does look really nice.
*DEFINITELY!* 😎👍
Incredibly cool, Dan. PRS should be paying attention and saying “Holy crap, we could have been building those this whole time?”
This build is spectacular, dude! I wish I could have seen it in person.
That is most undoubtably the most modern awsome twist on a guitar kit I've ever seen. That headstock is so innovative I now have a new respect for this channel. Awsome job man!

The Bass guitar looks really good. One of your best build in my opinion. Look forward for next weeks sound demo
To be fair, that's the Crimson Guitar's MO too, for a lot of his video'd projects haha
Ahhhhhh, homeless ... um, guns and guitars! I love that you entered a bass. Thank you for joining in on the fun of the build off and making me find out about you!! Good stuff, well done, and I hope you at least tie Ben, Brad, and wonder bread!!

Great job!
Dan: builds bass in great guitar build off
Davie504: WISE CHOICE
Malto epico.
I wonder if he asked Davie's permission first?
Slap like now.
Approved!
Love this Dan! I'm a huge fan of Dylan's channel too, so seeing this crossover is sick! So awesome from both of you!!
Dan! That was great seeing Dylan in you Video! Great get together guys! Loved it. So Creative. And such nice timing and working together. You guys are amazing...I live such a boring life. You two are my Heroes...

No question: This is the winner build! Congrats, this is a design masterpiece!
Glad everyone has been posting their videos for the build off today, been a lot of fun watching these.👍
4:30 "I wonder why more people don't do that"
Well.. for starters not everyone has access to a 100K RV xD
Well..... It's like, his home. Maybe $75,000 up to maybe $100,000. Inexpensive living.
@@WesNorthOf45 I don't know how it works in America but I can't get a mortgage on an RV. And I sure as hell can't pay 100k out of pocket. And there's not a bank in the world that will lend me the money if I tell them I'll use it to drive around building guitars 😅

That is the most unique headstock I have ever seen. Nicely done Dan.
Awesome build! Also, South Dakota is amazing. We visited in June and immediately fell in love.
Unbelievable build. By far the best you’ve done. Also, PRS should watch this and take some notes 🤘🏻 😂
Nice! THis might have been your best build yet. Being it's a bass makes it even better. Good luck!

Absolutely jaw dropping looks and spec.
Kudos to you my friend!
I must say that everything from the pickups to the headstock to the bridge are perfect, coming from a bass player. I would personally love to see a production model just like this, I would totally buy it (although perhaps in a 34” scale length)
It’d need a bigger body for a 34” scale or it’d look out of proportion and balance badly.
@@Jonathan_Doe_ With a bigger body then

Thanks for the AWESOME builds Dan! Watching your videos has inspired me to try to build my own bass as well.
All the best to you and yours! 😃👍
Why wasn’t Dylan in the great guitar build off? Hopefully he’ll be in next years.
Because he just started building a guitar, he is mostly on electronics until lately.
He's not into building guitars as much as pickups, as far as I know.
Jay G his channel has him building guitars from at least two years back.
@@dasdaro
There is always next year, hopefully with a raffle.
i have watched you do some crazy stuff thru the years but this one is by far the sweetest neck yet. great job
Bass is the solution to all problems in life.

coolest entry done with tools anyone can get. so impressed by the headstock, all the ideas used and how you work it out from crude cuts to super skilled result. just awesome!!!

They are great, been using a set for a year or so!! I gotta say I'm amazed at your freehand routing and drilling! I'd've had nothing but tear outs from the word go! Wow! The resulting bass is so so cool!!!
Wow. You get around, hurdygurdyguy 🤣👍😁😉
@@JC-11111 LOL! Just like the Beach Boys song!
As a 30 + year bass player this is a gorgeous piece of art! Absolutely stellar Dan. Love the concept for the tuners.
I was thinking about doing tuners like that, rickenbacker style on a 12 string gold top PRS im building
Dan I'm blown away. I love love love your build! It is elegant and has so many unique design elements I cannot believe you made that out of your mobile outdoor workshop. I want to make a guitar as beautiful as your bass. You've got my vote!
Dan, dude, my brother in Christ, this video hit me way too hard. I laughed. I cried (yes for real). I shouted in excitement with my fist pumping into the air.
Those pickups?? That artistic carve?!? That headstock design?!?!?! Paul Reed Smith should be on the phone with you right now begging you to come run his bass design shop. This instrument is exactly what they’ve been missing thus far.
Finally, I probably can’t afford to win this auction, and I for sure hope the price on this gorgeous work of art spirals far out of my reach; however, you better believe that I’m going to bid early and often until my budget is exhausted. If you don’t win this contest, I’ll be shouting “Shenanigans!” from the rooftops. Truly amazing job. Truly.
Good luck Dan! You really are a cheapo! I love it. Nice bass. Good to see you and Mr Tone working together.
Looking at the headstock and i'm worrying about neck dive.
with short scale it might just work, but then again there is a guitar body... so the neck dive is plausible.
I'm thinking adding the thickness is maybe balanced by what is cut out.
great to see Dylan there! love both your attitudes....thanks for the inspiration. I have been making my first bass, and decided to step outside the lines of the norm as well. Totally worth it, be original.
(side note: I freehand router ALL my pickup cavities. Just one of those things. I hate templates.)
I hope that I have the skills to enter the buildoff this year!
Makes a two color bass. As you can clearly see, this represents good vs evil in our world
This has to be the coolest build in the whole competition. Seriously so innovative and beautiful! Well done, Dan
First like and comment omgwut?! This looks great!
Wow man... What a beautiful design. The PRS shape, the water carving and that Headstock!!! You should definitely be in the top 2. Great work! Congratulations
Did I hear you say the love of Jesus bro you rock !
Incredible build, absolutely beautiful bass with unique qualities...i love it.
Excellent choice going against the grain, and ....well, with the grain too. I hope you win the comp- but we all win with your channel sir.
Wise choice, Davie504 would be proud
Dan, you continue to amaze. Please keep doing what you're doing - ten years from now, I can easily see you being a household name in the world of custom guitar builders. Incredible build. Rock on, brother.
I enjoyed this video until he started talking about Jesus...
At least he doesn't beat us over the head with it. And the clean water thing I can get behind.
“He told people to eat his body and drink his blood. That’s so cool. Jesus was so cool. No wonder there are so many Christians.”
As a staunch atheist, I understand, but I just panned ahead until he he finished his paean.

And it doesn't at all undermine my ability to enjoy his creativity and talent. But I feel you. The struggle is real.
Can they still get water without the Jesus or do they just get piss?
gastropunk gotta boil the hell out of it?
Honestly Dan this is the best build you have done! Also the best in the competition. Classic but creative and different is a hard thing to pull off and this bass has it in spades. What truly sets this instrument into the next level is the headstock design very very unique.

Guns and religion? What a turn-off... everything was good up to that point.
Yep...
Dude, everyone's different and has a different world view. Try some tolerance and acceptance.
I bought that exact neck 3 months ago. I haven’t used it yet, but now I can see the quality in action via Dan so thank you for that lol.
This is honestly one of the most beautiful bass guitars I have ever seen, you are truly an artist. Each instrument you have created has been spectacular but, at least for me, this tops them all
I love that you made a bass!
As a bassist of over 40 years, I love seeing the love!!!
As a bass player and somebody who grew up in Miles City, MT I enjoyed the build and seeing some shots of home.
That is sooo cool, awesome idea for the comp, love the tuner configuration. One of your best Dan 👍
You are the man and a master builder! that bass is going to be AWESOME!! Can't wait to see the finish work of art! wonderful!! Amazing work Dan and love the fact that you picked a charity that not only helps !
Way to come through at the end! Very innovative build and pure Dan!
I’m looking forward to seeing you playing that short scale bass guitar pretty soon. As far as clean water goes, that’s very important. God bless you.
This is AWESOME! One of my favourite videos ever, nice one Dan!
That looks insane. Nice job. Prs will be Knocking on your door for that headstock design
Absolutely gorgeous guitar build and my favourite of the bunch (when you consider the strength of the competition, that is really saying something) Well done Sir!!
Awesome work Dan. Love that you showing some bass love.
Great job, super interesting build. Love the tuners setting idea. Looking forward to hear the samples from this great looking shortscale bass.
You continue to inspire me, Sir. I can't wait to get back to building. You've taught me so much. Thank you!
Holy-crap you are going to totally win this competition! Great job, man! Great video! :)

You knocked it out of the park... The national park!
I'm sure someone already made that joke, but I couldn't resist!

Incredible build, Dan! 👍🏻🎸😎🤘🏼 You and Tamar are the best of the builders in this build-off. And you’re doing it while on the road. 🚐😳 Good luck! And awesome charity choice. 🌊🕊✝️❤️
this may be my favorite build of yours to date. the concept, the headstock, awesome
Wow! I stumbled on this video and you are amazing. A one of a kind bass with a very cool build. I can't wait to hear how it sounds. Thank you Dan, you are an artist and a good man.
So far of the 5 builds I've seen, I do like the look of yours the most Dan.
Nice job.
I'm impressed of the thought out design process with the headstock. You Rock man!
Great idea with the headstock. Makes so much sense too. Very cool to finally see someone put work into a bass. They always miss out on the love.
Great build! Good luck!
Definitely the only bass in the build off, official one anyway. Don't know about the unofficial entries. Looks great, though. Can't wait to hear it!
That headstock is a perfect example of greatness being the result of talent, a good idea, and not quite enough time. I was interested before that point but when you showed the B-roll of the finished design I was SALIVATING.
Mind = blown! I have watched so many of your videos Dan, but man, this is just pure brilliance!
Thank you!
You are, by FAR, my favorite TH-camr. That bass is one of the coolest things you've ever done!
Cant wait to hear how it sounds !! Great job Dan & super cool for the assist by dylan for some pickups !! :)
a beautiful instrument built in some of the most beautiful places in our country... thank you for putting a smile on my face
I'm a newbie to your channel but I've been watching and loving most of the others for years. However, this is my favourite build in the competition. Great stuff and a great video to show us the process. Love it
