+Alex Abrikosov wow thanks! Best compliment so far

+Raymond Davis haha go for it!

What's wrong with your left eye?

i thought it was his other eye

Plot twist, its been two years and its on the top

5. Profit

@@holo6883 how Tell me the ways of the profit

Kevin Givens I genuinely would love to see this so much it’s an EB-0 pickup, SD Jazz Hotstack and an SD Strat pickup

Even more complicated is the strat pickup is activated by a push/pull switch rather than a volume knob.

+discofudge thank you so much. Means a lot to me

+Fabian's Tiny Workshop thank you!

haha thanks

That’s awesome Kevin! Congrats on building your first bass!

+hurlyherbs when you do I want to see it! Post a pic on my Facebook!

I find mine come out better with flowered boxers....come out better?

Thanks!

+Mariano Aguirre thank you!

+Austin White I will be doing that in the future for sure

+Mulletkatt 87 thank you!

+Gavinator1024 thanks!

+SMarkalet thanks!

yes yes yes

by the way, for great value pickups you could try Wilkinson or Warman pickups!

+Vincent Koster I agree I love wilkenson pickups, haven't tried the other but I'll look into it. Glad you're inspired!

+Bad Juju thanks for the input!

+Dave thanks!

don't be sad, get some tools and start tinkering!

I know, sucks, these kits were $65 when I bought mine. now they are double :(

I ordered one last week for $65. They put them on sale for Christmas.

+Paul Phariss I think that's above my pay grade. It might be possible with a fretless kit, but not with a fretted one, the frets wouldn't be intonated properly.

Guns and Guitars would it be possible by cutting the headstock off and adding some length between the headstock and the nut? That way it would be intonated correctly

+Paul Phariss again, kinda above my pay grade here, but theoretically possible. It would take some real craftsmanship to seamlessly extend the fingerboard, and your fret dots will be off (i.e. the 12th fret would no longer be 12th etc). I don't think I would try it. You might be better off having someone custom build you one, you might be able to find someone that will do it for a lot cheaper than a dingwall. Although, If you're skilled enough to do what you are proposing, then you're probably skilled enough to do the whole thing from scratch as well

Buy a 36" scale neck ( from Carvin or Warmoth )and build your own body. Be creative and go for it!

Get some neckwood, some fingerboard wood, saw it to shape, route in space for the truss rod(s), Then sand it till you find a comfortable shape and fret radius(You can find radius sanding blocks and fretwire for cheap). Really all you need to build a bass is wood and hardware.

It's not bad, just keep improving. *whole

onpsxmember thanks

+frizz D thanks for the compliment!

Guns and Guitars the videos are realy intreating and the Chanel is groing realy fast (you win 1000 subs in 1 day) do you ever consider in making videos more often?

+Nahual thanks!

+EJ Salazar haha personal preference I guess. Not sure why but they just sound great to me.

I always put fender strings on my bass but never my guitar ???

I prefer ernie ball strings

@@yu-gyeonglee489 I do 🤷‍♂️

any tips

TEXTGaming Just rewired my squier pbass vintage style. There's a ton of resources out there on rewiring. I used cloth covered wire and followed the schematics for an original pbass. Sounds amazing

TEXTGaming look up a wiring diagram

should be easy enough, just make sure you ground everything properly

+TEXTGaming I'm going to be doing more wiring videos in the future

A*Jack But i'm worried that the quality isn't good, you shure about this?

Guenther TheGuy I'd get a basswood body

The Ghost of the Flying Dutchman How much would that cost, and how much better is it? nice name tho

Guenther TheGuy it depends. if you buy something from warmoth, the quality will be a hell of alot better. you can also do a good looking transparent finish. warmoth can be pricey though.

The Ghost of the Flying Dutchman Yeah, i've conaidered warmoth too, but the price just kills it, are there alterntives, you seem to know your shit.

Yes

+Lachlan Mac haha, maybe when I hit 50k. How about a t shirt first? Find me on facebook, I'll be doing a giveaway as soon as they are printed up!

+Legion of Weirdos watch my vid on how to make a high end guitar out of a cheap eBay kit. It's basically the same video but for guitar. Totally price was around $150 on that build too

I think I missed what the electronics were in that one... I'll re-watch it though.

+carl baula thanks for waiting, hopefully tonight!

everyone's dream bass is different. why settle for coated when you can dream of solid gold?

Guns and Guitars I like the way ya think.

Guns and Guitars Chambered please!

+dan B thanks for your compliments and for your sub!

+Reinier van zwieten yeah thanks for the input. I'm still gonna do a video on this someday soon because I really want to hear the difference myself

I was part of double blind tests and people (trained musicians, music professors etc)who swore they could hear the difference between one Strat of a particular year and new one, swore they could hear the difference between an ebony fretboard and a one piece maple neck failed. You couldn't see the instrument and there was no indication what was A and B. You just hear two parts with a little pause inbetween and you only decide if you can hear a difference. They couldn't tell apart a strat made from an acrylic body from they beloved models AND there were also a pair where you would just hear the same sound bit twice instead of comparing it with something different. Some heard a huge difference (1-10 scale) while hearing the SAME bit twice. Our body and ears fucks with our perception. It's like the picture with the trampoline elephant and you can almost hear the impact because of the shaking picture. The other thing is what you can feel frequency-wise doesn't man you can hear it (let alone the amp with speakers that won't do anything with certain frequencies. If you can't feel a lot of vibration in the guitar body/neck it's a pro cause you want the vibration to run back and forth through the strings but not leak into the body. It will not run through the body and reenter the strings. You just feel it and you might like it but that is all there is. It is the same with wood...just say you like it for the looks (which is the reason it is mostly chosen from apart from structural stability) cause all the flamed wood and the birds-eye is weaker wood. How do they get in? Those are all dead twigs that wanted to grow but died because of the environmental conditions. They get sick and they die off and leave those dots or disfigurations. The part of the body which has the most influence (after the hardware and the pickups and pots and of course your damn playing style with your fingers) is the neck. It's a long hunk of wood that only has a connection to something solid at the body. Less movement in the neck = more movement in the strings This influence is still freakin tiny! BUT this makes more difference at bass guitars due to the deeper frequencies. So if a bass neck isn't stable and moves around you have a lot more problems. The lacquer on the body makes homeopathic differences if at all (if it's not in the neckpocket or very thick under the bridge. On a bass neck it may add a tiny difference and only the strong believers might feel but not hear. (face it our hearing sucks at lower frequencies even more, but feeling it gets easier) What comes into play are psychoacoustics (this is scientifc term, you may want to check it out, interesting stuff) You play your instrument and you like the smooth feel with juuust the right amount of friction of an blank neck and enjoy playability. Brain is happy and adds the information = sounds better (oversimplified). You may also think that an instrument sounds better cause you played it for a long time. That might not be the case but you adjusted your playing so much to that instrument that your ear is trained on that sound. (It's even important how much pause there is between hearing signals and what other frequencies the ear has to handle at that point which might mask some other frequencies at the same time) If your muscle memory say it doesn't feel right, you'll your brain also says that it doesn't sound right (subconcious). This is why some players say they can't play anything different anymore. If you really poke musicians long enough, they'll tell you that they bought a certain instrument because someone they admired played it. What worked for them may not work for you but you play it long enough and you adjust to it...the instrument forms (or even really deforms) your body and you grow together. What you feel while playing is a combination of a lot of things, but if you just take the sound and you have to rely on your ears you often can't tell the difference. Keep in mind that you don't have the same ears as the person besides you, you don't stand in the same room, use the same speakers, one of you got screamed in one ear during childhood, the other has more earwax in his right ear, he may be sick and some of the airways might be blocked in his head....so why would you hear the same? You set your amp to what sounds good to you and you play what feels good to you. What sounds good at home may sound crappy on a stage playing with others. That doesn't mean there is a sound difference that you can tell apart. If more people would just do that without religion-like believes about the sound, people would get along much better and get better products without getting fucked over by the industry giants selling fake capcitors. Noone would dare to sell tonepolish if the people would be more open to scientific research and THEN buy what they just LIKE and stop telling other people what they have to like cause it sounds better to them. There are books called Physics of the Electric Guitar from Prof. Manfred Zollner, a former electro-acoustics professor from gemrany. Sadly the two volumes are only available in german at the moment but articles will be extracted and translated soon.

Ok for you still don't agree: Sound is movement strumming the strings will cause the neck and body to vibrate the vibration of the neck and body will move the pickups and the vibration also goes back into the strings therefore changing the sound if you have a harder finish or a harder wood the vibration will be different thus the vibrations that go back into the pickups and strings will be different thus changing the sound. in the case of the different finishes it is hardly noticeable (but still there) with the wood of the body and the neck and fretboard it changes a bit more.

@onpsxmember like i said the difference is very tiny if you have the same woods but a different model etc. and i never claimed the difference to be huge but it is there

to be honest no i can't hear the difference between paints but i never claimed to i am just saying the difference is there i said that there is a slight difference didn't say it was audible to me and you are right that there is no observable difference and i never claimed there was. Cheers

+ecnaurps really?

sorry just pokin fun at you..i do play bass though my band project is called"Floyd MacIntire"its on my chanel..please have a listen if you've got the time.

Yes, he will.

I’d say yeah probably, if you don’t hit the “Like” button and “Subscribe.” That’s just what I heard. Could be wrong.lol.

Just make sure you’re in a gun free zone and try and regulate guns as much as possible and then simply become popular enough on the internet that someone swats you and our highly trained (to view everyone as a threat to their lives in a perpetual hypothalamus to pituitary gland to adrenaline overload relentless til their whiteblood fell count reduces and their norepinephrine is making them experience constant over alertness) military police with all the excessive surplus you can imagine will come to disarm your fictional arms, and then your actual arms will proceed to be blown off as they mistake your writhing and squirming for resistance. The lesson? Don’t be so hairstyle to Americans practicing their rights because when you look at hitched situations where those rights are suspended for the blunders or the feds, you won’t be free til you’re dead. And the only one who can stop a bad guy or a tyrannical entity with guns are those with equal enough power.

+aaron emerson thanks man, just a heads up, people have been saying lately that the kits have been shipping without the pickguard and electronics. The company is sending replacement parts but they take a while to get from china. I think something got messed up at the factory or something.

Thanks for your compliments! I think all these eBay kits are hit and miss. As long as you don't get a really jacked up crooked neck then a little elbow grease will make it play just fine. The electronics are hit and miss too, but they are meant to just get you going, and you can always upgrade them later
