Thanks for the reference, buddy!!! :D I'm the guy in the original video. Or at least the rip of it, as my video has been blocked by Black Sabbath.. Your bass guitar is prettier than mine!

Your tone of voice sounds a lot happier in this video than in other ones and it warms my heart that you're happy. Keep up the good work.

Hey everyone! It has been way too long. I've been recovering from some burnout from overworking myself this last summer and had some significant life changes that slowed the production of this video further. It's very good to be back. I have a number of new videos already in the works so you should be seeing new content frequently again from here on out. I hope you enjoy this project, and please let me know as always if you give it a try for yourself! As of right now this video has been demonetized by KZfaq for reasons only their algorithms understand. As the monetization system here becomes more and more unstable I want to really thank those of you who have supported my videos on Patreon. It makes all the difference to know I'm not counting 100% on KZfaq's system to keep these videos going. www.patreon.com/NightHawkProjects

Suggestion: Get a guitar tuner on your phone (there are loads of them available for free) and actually find the correct position of your frets. Then mark those spots with a marker or something at the top of your neck. Should be helpful especially for beginners.

That's one phrase every woodworker says: _"While I'm waiting for the glue to dry"_

Everybody tell davie504

I need more of the bird! Welcome back.

I read the title as "How to make a Boss Battle Guitar". I was like YEEEAAAHHH!

Brilliant! I think you could make that design into an upright bass without much trouble. I'm totally inspired. That bass would make a great campfire instrument or field jamming bass you can play without worrying about temperature or weather. Thanks for sharing.

The bass force is strong with this one🎸🎸👍👍

The bird is the best part

I felt like I was watching Bob Ross particularly while watching the intro to this awesome project

I have been making CBG's for many years now but I have to say I was inspired by the simplicity of this build. I think my next guitar will add ideas from your build. Thanks!

Great video! Thanks for the great content on this channel! Always brightens my day and my mind!

Yay! I love seeing your videos in my feed! Been subscribed for years.. thank u for your dedication to create this kind of content.

Your parrot made my day! Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic project. I've always wanted to do something like this, but had no clue how to go about it. If I ever get the scrap wood, I will definitely attempt to make one of these bass guitars :D

lol dude that thing is dope! dont know how you come up with this stuff but you never fail with some of the best projects on youtube!

This is crazy cool. I also learned from the band Days n Daze that a bass can be made from a wash basin, a stick, and a shoe string

I've been subbed for you since the start, welcome back bud, you've been missed

I made the cigar box guitar for school so I think I have to make this too.

Dude, you should do an audio book. With a voice like your's, you will rule the audio book scene :)

Welcome back! I can't wait to find a moment to try this. I've always regretted selling my base 15yrs ago. This would be fun to get back into it.

I have absolutely no idea how to play guitar, but this project looks really interesting and just might be enough to get me into learning how to play guitar at some point.

Cool project. One of your earlier videos inspired me to build a cigar box uke, it sounds awesome.

Never be discouraged brother, I’m sure you inspire a lot of people! Merry Christmas!

Dude that is such an awesome build! Thank you taking the time to make a quality video. I'm off tomorrow and know what I'm doing that's for sure!

This is an awesome project. It's so cool to play an instrument that looks and sounds so good when you're the one who made it!

Awesome project! From now on out i'll be on the look out for these nice big water bottles to make my self :) love your videos

Beautiful Caique!!

This is the coolest DIY video I've seen in a long time. Gotta try this one!

Oh man, how have I not found this channel before. Instantly one of my new favorites!

I am definitely going to make this now

I thought he was ted Cruz for a moment

Loved the different cuts with the bird. :) On your hand (he fidgets and gets in the way). On your shoulder (continues fidgeting, then hops onto the neck and continues being a bit of a nuisance). And then... he's gone! :)

good to see you back and incharge

I just made this and i love it so much, its insanely fun to play. thank you!

Awesome! That was sick, man.

Always enjoy watching your videos

Really great tone outta that bass, fair play man

This looks so amazing!! We need more videos like this :D.

This is pretty damn cool. I wonder if it would be possible to make a sort of homebrew classical string instrument like this. I play the cello, and I think I might give this a try when I have the time. The structure of a cello has some significant differences, but I'm sure there's a way to make something like this bass.

Peculiar design... i love it!

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time

Great video, sounds fun!

Superfun! Sounds like 'No More Tears' would play well on that!

Just stumbled in. What a cool channel. I hope my son will watch this to help him get ou of his depression/burn out. So much life to live and make cool stuff like this. Thanks heaps !

That's a cool creation. :-)

Thanks for the very good project presentation.

I loved your bird's jump from the shoulder to the neck of the guitar! The guitar looks neat too.

Very cool creation! 😎

Loving the new projects! Hopefully i can support you on patreon next year

Super creative project. Thanks for sharing.

It actually sounds pretty good!

Really nice idea and good sound... i've never figured out a botle can do this kind of resonance... nice job 👍👏

Ingenious, great vid and commentary

*This* video got demonetized? WHAT?! That is really crazy... Hope you can get that sorted out! I really enjoyed this video, great work! And so inspiring! I will try and remember this project for a later time when I can try this out for myself. Thank you for a great video!

Very cool! I may make one of those for my wife for Christmas.

Nice that got my mind working on all kinds of ideas. That ranks up their with my wine box guitar.

Being a bass player who learned on an upright I can completely understand your frustrations with finding notes... that being said another great way to find notes would be to use a tuner and then make marking on the side of the neck for a visual aesthetic of where the frets would/should be. If you only have specific tones you can play then you could always tune the strings and find the frets that way. So for instance in the case of your G and C strings, C is the 4th note in a G Major scale so C on the G string should be fret 5. from there you could also find the 7th fret position of the C string using harmonics. from there the 6th fret should be fairly easy to find. Of course this goes in depth of how to find some of the more tricky frets but it does give you a way to find more frets too! Another great song/bass line to find frets would be Billie Jean by M.J. because its essentially just going between 2 frets as well. Anyway, great video as usual and look forward to your next project! P.S. you should try out the "Green Flash" that the King of Random created a few days ago and see what pyrotechnic application you could come up with (this one would probably be more for a personal/hobbyist project rather than a youtube project though).

Glad you’re back. Hope to see more fireworks videos! Happy new year my friend :)

I love music, and this was a fun video to watch. Thank you

The cantankerous me before I’ve done shadow work would have critically criticized your clean cut, freshly combed, well dressed, beautiful spoken, planned and organized as an over polished cacophony. Good idea to have your right hand in the bottle to pluck the cords. I imagine the reverberation from the strings really plays with resistance more from inside the body rather than outside. Peace be with you.

I'm a simple woman: I see bass-related stuff, I see birbs, I click like.

Awesome video!

13:55 - 14:17 "I'm helping! See? I can play the bass guitar too!"

I would totally slice my hand open trying to cut the bottle lol. Keep it up

I think that's amazing, an absolutely fantastic projec 👍👍ok i like it

Wonderful video, I will definitely try this. Thank you!

That was great, nice one

I've just shared this video on my FB, thx :)

Awesome video mate, got some 15 litre bottles kicking around after the drought. Now it’s a storm I’ll put them to good use. Take it easy from NZ bro

Love this channel

A new use for an X-Carve, I love it!

Awesome videos i never build your projects but i still enjoy watching your videos

Great job !

Great work 🥳 Thank you 💜

wow magnific bass sound

That's really cool!

This mixed with a cigar box guitar and one of those bucket drum sets makes the coolest band in existance

It sounds great

Awesome musical instruments.

This can't be the first time you picked up a bass. If it is, I'm mighty impressed! Really cool bass, man :) Two thumbs up from Norway

Nicely done...

That is very cool! Someday I'll make one

Love your stuff man, inspired me to build my own piston valve cannon✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

My dad used to play this on guitar and its the prettiest song ever written next to redwing!

Love the build. Still working on my guitar I'm making and since the band saw didn't work, I'm going to have to chisel it out.

great vid i liked watching u learn to play on the new instrument and the bird

instant like and subscribe ! this is awesome!

That is ...as my kid would say "Way Cool" I'v always played around with diy musical instruments. NICE !

*You said you read all your comments* Well, I was raised "Quality before Quantity" *Your firing on all cylinders, remarkable job*

Very cool project! Hope I can make mine soon too! Tks, bro! 👍🏼✌🏼

Glad to have you back NHiL!

13:14 , the moment i’ve been waiting for... BIRB!

So cool. Thumbs up.

I'm definitely gonna try to make this over the holiday :D Amazing video! (cute bird btw)

I love that parrot. Oh, the guitar is cool too.

That Fingerboard looks gorgeous after Shellacking

i love your Caique! it was very fun watching you try to keep it from playing with the strings while you were explaining lol
