A+++ for effort... you might want to give tape a try for the fret board inlays. You've got balls for doing this!

Thanks! I could've done but I thought I could get away without haha. Glad you enjoyed the video :)

My only gripe is that it should have 24 frets. This may seem inconsequential but Peter actually used the 24th fret. ("She Burned Me Down" and "Burnt Flowers Fallen" are two examples I can think of off the top of my head.) Other than that, I dig it! It looks like Peter's Esh. TON never used glow-in-the-dark tape or inlays that I know of, but they should have, since it would added nicely to their stage presentation.

it loses its ability to glow lke new pretty quicky....paint would be a better way I'd assume...maybe it's gotten better idk. (Two years later lol)

bass line off chorus from "everyone i love is dead" also very high, 22 or 24th fret

I've been wanting a new bass for a while and you've inspired me to just make it myself; couldn't thank you enough for that needed push. My bands tone is heavily inspired off of the tone of type o and other 90's bands, and as a fellow Boss katana user I highly recommend the super chorus and dimension c pedals put after any ol' distortion pedal. Keep on rockin' it man 🤘

Should be easy enough to recreate his tone with a Boss amp, as all the pedals he used were boss. He ran a DS-1, Super chorus, and DD-3 through one amp, and just his plain dry signal through another amp to make up for the ds-1 cutting all his low frequencies

Well, since this is my first bass, I just plugged into a boss katana guitar amp and used some basic chorus and distortion. Then added the bass back in with EQ afterwards. Really any chorus and distortion would get the vibe, but I think Peter used boss pedals. Hope that helps :)

Hiya, I couldn't find an actual list, but I pretty much just built this from a cheap bass kit, the only things I got separately included the chain, paint, UV nail polish, and a Wilkinson Bass pickup (which in hindsight was a little too noisy for metal, so you could go for an actual humbucking bass pickup instead maybe) Hope that helps :)

what's good for putting green stuff on fret markers, any advice?

@spiderfan1974 Жыл бұрын

Pete originally used green paint so a small brush that let's you get close to those frets. A brush you can control not a brush that will puke paint where ever it wants to.

@ayanjaved322 Жыл бұрын

is it for wood?, I just wanna know if it's for wood? 'cause I hope it doesn't ruin the playability of it.

@spiderfan1974 Жыл бұрын

@@ayanjaved322 it's green paint nail polish is essentialy spray paint out of the aerosol can. Does the paint on the body of your guitar/bass effect the instruments tone. If your fret board is rosewood it will suck up a bunch of that paint being it's a porous wood. It might take a little more paint depending on the wood. If you didn't want brush strokes an air brush gun or a spray can will do the trick also. Just cover the parts you don't want painted with tape and newspaper.
