You make it look easy. I’m building a P bass right now, so this is very helpful. Will be watching closely. Thank you.

you can make a safety guard from wood. Lasts years and you can customize the shape

Very nice! Thank you... The little things like, don't put too much pressure on the knife, is very helpful... Very educational! It gave me inspiration to start a project i've wanted to do for years... Keep it up!

I thank you for your detailed build notes. I am planning on most of my instruments being acoustic but I am already seeing your lesions as being very helpful in getting to my goals I am planning on designing and building things like a contrabass cigar box guitar, bowed lyre/jouhikko and a sub contrabass hurdy-gurdy/apprehension engine

You can get a .5 mm blade for a coping saw to do the fret cuts. All you gotta do is keep your finger on the top smooth side of the blade while youre sawing and when it is flush with the board you are good.

Thanks for making a video on this, there’s way to few bass builds on KZfaq! I like the music, the guy complaining about lack of ducking/EQ must have left spotify on in the background or something.

Tip: Put glue on both surfaces to minimise any slight risk of an air bubble

See I think the music adds to the video, and i love the 80s infomercial vibe it gives. I was gonna ask if you do your own music for shits and giggles :D I did that on some of my videos, was quite fun but ultimately too time consuming for lazy bones like me

You can actually pin literally the scarf joint, using screws on the edges, since you will cut those out when making the headstock shape

At least install a riving knife, there is a good chance of timber binding when sawing those lengths.. great video! Thanks

Hello, I want to make an electric double bass. Is there any material available on the internet for me to know the measurements? Olá, eu quero fazer um contrabaixo elétrico. Tem algum material disponível na internet para eu saber as medidas?

Have seen elsewhere that a few grains of salt in the glue joint will help an angled glue joint stop sliding out of place.

glad to see the video that you uploaded, can you help me ... to give me the layout / distance between fred per fred and the distance between the other parts, it is my hope to get your attention ,, thanks.

Great informative video what country are you in ?

Nice work. Why didn't you use a single piece of wood for the neck? And isn't the truss rod supposed to be fit on the backside of the neck, rather than under the fretboard?

Don’t put a fucking tape between the fingerboard and the neck, that drives me crazy! Bad joint. Just peel it off before clamping, the glue won’t get into the trussrod slot.

At least you're talking to us now, but music is still distracting and annoying. Especially since there's no EQ hole so the mid range of the music often renders some of your voice unintelligable. But you're getting better. But it still feels like a 1980's era corporate infomercial for the wonders of the new shopping mall opening up in your town with crappy music going up and down in volume between your talking (I should know, I produced, directed and edited many of them back in the day.) Try keeping the volume of music throughput at the level you fade it to when you talk, just so it's not so overwhelming annoying. It takes away so much from an otherwise interesting video. It's not "cute" at all, just dated. This explains the principle of cutting an EQ hole in the music track so the voice frequencies are not lost. He I think is using premier, but the explanation is good regardless of the software. This is something that plagues SO MANY youtubers who insist on using music with narration, not making room for the midrange frequencies the voice by reducing the same ones in the music track. Basically on an analog board back in the day we simply lowered the mid range know on the audio channel where the narration was. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMWSdN2bnODIdJ8.html
