I don’t really like “Beatle basses” just because they are so iconic. No one looks right playing them but Paul. However, your take on this turned out superb. It doesn’t make me think of Paul at all. And what’s up with your build quality? You went from pretty good to flippin amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Keep up the beautiful work!
Different instruments in different price categories get different treatment. My goal here is to make very affordable, ecoethical custom guitars so people don't have to settle for what the stores sell, but I want to keep them in the same or lower price range than their factory peers, so I can't finesse as much. This bass is in a higher price range so it gets a higher level of fit and finish. Thanks!
Eesh SinGer naw, it’s just that Paul owns that. Other people played them, and Paul played other basses, but in my mind he and that shape are tied together. I mean we all know exactly what a “Beatles Bass” is. Tim modernized the design in my eyes. I don’t think it is just the fact that it’s 6 strings either. I think this would work well as a 4 string too.
tim sway you’re welcome. This deserves to command a high price. The detail, fit and finish, the materials, all top notch. Plus I love that you stuck with your philosophy of being as eco friendly as possible.
This marvel makes "custom" models of famous brands sound like a joke. Mahogany looks so great and everything blends together superb! Even pickups are custom made and sound was lovely. Big thumbs up!
I can clearly see a fourth dimension, just curled up so it is invisible for us. Spacetime, huh? Quantum effects? And all you bla bla bla is bats and stupid violins. You are Newton fans? Poor souls...
I'm guessing 7.25", which I've never seen on a 6 string bass before. It might be comfortable compared with the relatively flat radius of most 6 strings
This is the first time I have heard a bass of 5 or more strings sound warm. In fact, I would say that this is the warmest fatest midrangey bass I have ever heard. It sounds amazing. He's doing a good job a playing it to demonstrate that tone and what it can do. On most of hte videos he has done, he does not spend enough time demo'ing the sound of the guitar, and often he does not do a good job of finding the guitars tone. He's better on woodworking than guitar, but not today. He's getting a delectable bass sound on that awesome instrument.

Every time I see one of your creations, they show leaps and bounds in your growth as a luthier. Incredible build and I hope to own one of your pieces in the future.
I really enjoy your commentary and I think that just a little bit of light jazz in the background would perfectly complement it. Nothing too loud or too spicy, just some very calm music. As always, beautiful craftsmanship!
Great video! It's been awesome being a part of this project and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I'll definitely be using it for years to come! Beautiful craftsmanship and it sounds so warm and heavy. She'll be the belle of the bass ball haha Edit: just received it! Super solid work and it got a crazy deep and fat tone! It's so much fun to play and I can't put it down!
Thanks for the opportunity. I love doing builds like this because I never would have thought this up on my own. The collaboration really is mutually beneficial.
Very cool... Fine quality workmanship, with the experimenter's mindset. With woods being so DANG expensive, I love that you're sourcing the "extras"... it saves money and prevents waste. Super Cool project. This makes more MORE willing to experiment with stuff than I usually am.
When I see lots of saw dust while watching woodworking videos, I find myself blowing at my phone in hopes to seeing the satisfying sight of it flying away.
With all the different types of wood and material that you use for your guitars you are developing and learning things that traditional guitar builders will never know or understand. Thinking outside the box with beautiful results. Thank you again Tim. By the way check craigslist free stuff for old pianos. There here there and every where.
i've been watching and following you for a while and I've always enjoyed the resourcefulness and imagination. This is by far my favourite, looks and sounds beautiful, and the natural finish rounds it off perfectly.
You've excelled yourself again Tim. I love how you are a wonderfully creative woodworker as well as a musician (and bye the way, make videos too! - far out). Awe inspiring! Keep up the good work. Cheers, David
And this is why I want to start making my own instruments... sure then big name companies out there could do a good job, but this looks fantastic... you really put the effort and work into making this spectacular instrument that not only looks good but sounds amazing as well! I’ll be subscribed to see more 😁
I'm not always super impressed by the guitars you make, which is fine because you're still learning and improving, but this one is really fantastic. Great work.
It sort of ticks all my boxes: it's beautiful, it's semi-hollow and it sounds great. Don't you want to make one for yourself now Tim? Or keep this and make a new one for the client? :)
This is fantastic. Very nice job. You're right about the fretting in that a little better system would get those frets seated uniformly. But seriously a great job!
[[To demonstrate British Understatement........I was never the worlds greatest bass player. {Those days are behind me}.]] However if I was a wealthy man, I'd be commissioning one of those from you. It should be called 'The Double Woody' its so beautifully woody in both appearance and sound, my ears are drooling! Rob at Gemini got it spot on too! Wonderful piece of work Tim.
BRAVO! People admire USELESS celebrities showing off.. what? - Nothing. I admire people like You and also have some instruments "made" by myself. You are my guru Sir... ps. Love its sound and I do love that radius as reminds me my beloved double bass!
'Weirdly suggestive sanding' ..I laughed out loud...I wasn't expecting that hilarity as video is already very interesting and entertaining..that comedic moment was most welcome though 🤣🤣🤣 I also like the way we didn't have to wait til the end to see it finished product. Beautiful sounding and great looking instrument. Wonderful.
Looks great, sounds great. What else do you need? Always enjoy how you are continuously pushing your boundaries. This is no exception. Thanks for sharing!
FREAKING AWESOME SIR TIMLAHAD! Man, that is beautiful, and I love the tone. I'm a huge Beatle fan, and that bass is pretty close to the Hoefner Macca uses. Seriously Tim, you killed it, as you usually do! Recovering from the "eviction" surgery! The squatter (tumor) was freaking monsterous! 6 " X 4" X 1"!! I had a smoking hot surgeon/specialist, so my life long determination to never have the back door breached failed on Jan 8 2020 "butt" if it had to happen, I am glad this Baberaham Lincoln was the stinky pinky! OH!! There was an old dude in his 80s beside me in the hospital, and we talked for hours day and night. Turned out he served in the Royal Navy during WWII in the same battle group my father was in! Dad served aboard HMS Illustrious, a famous WWII carrier, in the far east! They were also in the Okinawa battle where numerous young Japanese pilots, wired on drugged saki many with just enough training to steer their planes full of bombs into ships! Anyway, some clowntown apprentice walked into the room late one night and was looking around as if he was lost. Before either of us could say anything he's made his way to a bed across the room and started rifling through another patient's drawer, so I told him get out of the drawer, and get out of the room! He left the room, but came back not too longer after. So this old dude and I are just sickened because clowntown had one of those ancient hospital gowns on, and his bare ass and nutsack were clearly, vomitiously exposed. It looked like his butt cheeks were eating his nutsack, BEEEYULCK! So I turned to the old dude and said "I thought he was crazy, hut now I see he's nuts" WELL! He loses it! He snaps! Both of us were in frigging tears from laughing so hard. Nurses came in to see what was so funny, and neither of us could stop laughing to explain! We had both just undertaken major surgery and so it literally hurt quite bad whenever we laughed, but as hard as we tried, and as painful was it was, we just could not stop!! Anyway, it's good to be back and recovering! I went from 208 lbs down to 155 at one point! I hadn't been that weight since graded 9! I'm working on putting the weight back, and my oldest buddy, brother is gonna take me to his gym so I can beef back up! Great craftsman my brother!! Jack ~'()'~
@@philbritton189 Tim and I have a long history of correspondence through his videos, he enjoys funny stories and I'm certain he'll read this comment and reply. In any case, I'm trying to find the connection between my post and your business.
Honest opinion. I’m no fan of the fiddle bass shape but this thing looks killer. Love your design of neck though with almost wings added. Nice work as always. Keep it up!
thank you!! Honestly, I'm not a fan either and was skeptical to take the job, but once we started discussing design I saw potential to do something I think is better than the original :)
Seriously cool. I've modded a few guitars, but I really want to build one from scratch. Love the semi hollow idea, and it is original enough in design to be awesome!!!
If I'd been your client for this, the only I would've wanted different would be for the fretboard to go all the way to the pickup. Very cool job ya did there!
I don’t really like “Beatle basses” just because they are so iconic. No one looks right playing them but Paul. However, your take on this turned out superb. It doesn’t make me think of Paul at all.

Geoff Cowan is it because people dont play it left handed?
Concerning the build quality, I think that doing it a lot helps. :P

Almost like a violin

Love this bass
I really enjoy your commentary and I think that just a little bit of light jazz in the background would perfectly complement it. Nothing too loud or too spicy, just some very calm music. As always, beautiful craftsmanship!
Good thinking on the 2 truss rod neck and carbon fiber rod. Love neck stability.
Great video! It's been awesome being a part of this project and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I'll definitely be using it for years to come!

Looks so professional yet homemade at the same time in the absolute best way possible. Amazing job as always Tim!
You just get better with each build. Very nice.
I think this is my favorite out of all the builds I've watched on the channel. It's a beauty for sure.
Monster bass!! Nice!!
Beautiful Instrument....... a novel take on the old "Beatle Bass" look. You are a true craftsman.
my god, what a beautiful instrument
I would PROUDLY PAY THAT BASS! It is truly beautiful A instrument is better when it made with love.
Tim, you have outdone yourself. Honestly one of the coolest instruments I have seen you make...
Very cool... Fine quality workmanship, with the experimenter's mindset. With woods being so DANG expensive, I love that you're sourcing the "extras"... it saves money and prevents waste. Super Cool project. This makes more MORE willing to experiment with stuff than I usually am.
Wow! What an absolutely stunning thing! It inspires me to put all things aside and just do basses for living.
what a beautiful six string bass
it's like you found a giant's guitar, and neck is WIDE and the sound DEEP
love it
Words can't describe how much i loved this, everything is plain perfect.
Man, that's nice!
You should make more of this Tim, this bass is utterly beautiful!
you order it, I'll make it for you! :)
My new favorite bass,beautiful
When I see lots of saw dust while watching woodworking videos, I find myself blowing at my phone in hopes to seeing the satisfying sight of it flying away.
my favorite was watching my son when he was 5 or 6 try blowing the sawdust away repeatedly through a face shield.
LMBO! That's awesome!
Hey, very cool to see the creative process and craftsmanship in action. Thanks for sharing.
Such a honor to watch you work! Made my afternoon . Thanks for sharing . Maybe I will build my Turner L B after all.
Don't know how I missed this video work of art and tone supreme plus long scale violin style bass. Paul himself would love such a bass.
Masterful craftsmanship that resulted in an absolutely awesome bass!
I love every job you do..but that bass is so insane..
In few words:Congratulations for this wonderful work!!!
I would love to have one of these it's like a dream bass.
@PIZZA You aren't even real pizza you are from a microwave !
😉
Geez mate you have got it Well and truly together,
YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST, BEAUTIFUL WORK
Nice video like the style of the bass. And I am a fan of the beatles.

I'm all set with free pianos. I've had a few. They get heavy. My tip is look for free pump organs. Much lighter :)

thank you
I love that crazy radius
Super impressive,
well designed and thought through bass Tim. Love it. Sounds good too.
Good gracious that thing is a beast. Gorgeous, and killer sounding.

Beautiful build, fantastic work.
Its Masterpiece.. I always fall in love with the Violin shape Guitar.. now you planted a new genre
Thanks for another great video. I don't make guitars, but I learn a lot to take to my woodworking from your videos.
This looks like an absolute dream & a dream to play! Wow brotha, love your videos!
And this is why I want to start making my own instruments... sure then big name companies out there could do a good job, but this looks fantastic... you really put the effort and work into making this spectacular instrument that not only looks good but sounds amazing as well!

Always love watching you make more beautiful instruments
Luv it Tim,this is one of your finest works imo
Truly a work of art, zero frets and stainless frets are the future
That's a pretty unique sounding bass, looks great too! Very chunky and cool looking. Excellent work!
I'm not always super impressed by the guitars you make, which is fine because you're still learning and improving, but this one is really fantastic. Great work.
Most of them I make on this channel are experiments and concepts. This is both of those things but for a client, so the work goes in to it.
What a beautiful bass. Great job.
Wow sweet. Hope we get to see a guitar built like this.
How is that fretboard radius to play, insane!
Definitely took some getting used to, but I like it!
Superb craftsmanship Sir!!!
Probably my favorite build you’ve done, Tim. Love the detail and different woods mingling together. Sounds great as well!
It sort of ticks all my boxes: it's beautiful, it's semi-hollow and it sounds great. Don't you want to make one for yourself now Tim? Or keep this and make a new one for the client? :)
Haha! There is a small part of me that misses them when they go but I'm always on to the next thing and happy to know they are getting played.
That is one unique and beautiful bass. Nice pickup placement to for that style of bass. God Bless sir
Love this bass! Beautiful, simple and sophisticated.
Woah! That's a serious radius on the neck!
Stephen Becker
Thought the same
Your guitars are getting reealllyyy good
This is an absolute masterpiece! Just a thought I had, could you build the exact same style only fretless?
yes I can. newperspectivesmusic.com
Excellent work
Wonderful looking and sounding bass. That mahogany is really nice stuff.
Nice piece of work, you are getting very good at this.
Nice build.
14:15 The ball ends of string 3 and 6 are in the bridge correctly.
That looks as beautiful and sounds as good as those ultra high end Fodera basses. Nice job!
This is fantastic. Very nice job. You're right about the fretting in that a little better system would get those frets seated uniformly. But seriously a great job!
So clean. It looks and sounds amazing. I'd love to see what that looks like with binding. Fantastic work!
Nice bass! Finish is great too!

Your'e getting real good at this guitar building! Good Stuff!!!
Love the way u demoed the bass with the build vid...👍👍👍👍
Looks great and sounds amazing, well done
I had a Kramer DMZ 5000 Bass....very heavy, but also top heavy. Hd to user a strap that had great grip.... awesome build....enjoying the channel
A standout amongst the rest!!! Very cool project with awesome results!!!
Bloody magnificent work, Tim!
That is an astounding piece.
Love it. 👍🏽
Nice!
And....
I can honestly say you are great to collaborate with on builds.
we had fun :)
