That was 18 minutes well spend. I loved the radius contraption, it is genius in it's simplicity my friend. I think you definately have what it takes. Best regards from the Netherlands.

I burst out laughing when you mentioned buying all the discount sandpaper, totally with you on that one! 😅

Your an incredible builder and woodworker I'm soo impressed especially with the neck you made I know how hard that is that's the reason I'm re purposing a old bass neck I had I'm just putting wings on the headstock and cutting out the design Im building a 4001 rickenbacker copy from scratch I'm halfway through it and I don't have a workshop either so I enjoyed this even more

Really cool build man! I have always loved the look of a Stingray bass, which is why I bought one back in 1998. Still have it too! Anyway, your work is awesome even without a proper shop!

This was amazing!!! It's always admirable working on tight places, working your way around to make it work. Kudos to you man! It also sounds GREAT!! Fantastic work man!

Really enjoyed your video, fantastic job and a killer bass to boot!

Did you did a great job! I love the knobs you made!! So many people are doing such great bass building nowadays! And you are one of them

What an awesome build! You are a craftsman!

Congrats, really a beautiful job !!!

Excellent build, I'm inspired - thanks for the video!

Using a welder to etch into metal is a great idea. I never would have thought that something like that was possible.

It looks so good!

Really interesting watching your process building a bass. One of these days I'm going to have to try one myself even if it turns out really bad.

Mad respect... I'm working on my second build and still haven't conquered making my own neck yet....beautiful job sir!

absolutely and totally amazing work! I am very impressed! I am inspired to try this myself...maybe 🙂

Great video. Fun to watch your skills evolve from build to build. This one was almost a ‘to do’ list of things to consider. As a modder, your success has me wanting to try my hand. Cheers from Canada!

every hard work, worth the subscribe!

What a beautiful bass. Great job

I built an exact stingray copy including the bridge in 2005. It featured on various Ernie Ball forums. At that time there were no parts available and so I made everything. I’ve since built a 5 replica also.

What a great job, congrats!!!!!!

Great job Paul !!

Fretboard redish color + inlays are just wow!

Great, job, Paul. I wish I could do half of the hard work you did here. Fretworking seems like the most difficult part!

Awesome job! You’re super talented! I would definitely be interested in purchasing one of your builds!

Great build!

awesome job!

I too dream of a proper shop one day, I work basically just like you, outside. Great job.

That turned out sick! Great job, man.

awesome stingray bass build! love it!

A legend in the making!

good work man 😎 might be ordering one soon 😉

Love it!!!!!

looks great

Awesome!

That masking tape / superglue clamp idea is genius. Thank you!

Man you’re so cool, this is so impressive

Inspiring! 😊

I loved this build, would also have loved to see the stringing and setup process you did :)

nice. I'm working my first body build. Lots of challenges. Few tools. Scavenged wood. You obviously have skill. It's great to see such a fine job done WITHOUT a full wood working shop. Would love to see the video of the fret radius jig.

Nice job 👌, I like those knobs. I just got an OLP MM2 Stingray and I put some Gibson Les Paul knobs (hat style) in amber and it made a nice difference against the all black body and black pick guard

Hey! Cool build. Hope you will upload something similar soon and hope your business growing. Have a good one!

very good man! amazing work, I'd love to purchase one of these but I'm a little broke lol, my only recommendation to resemble the appearance of the stingray better is to use a sterling bridge from a sterling ray24 or ray34 from reverb, and a string tree, what a sexy instrument you made!

I find that an angle grinder wiith a flap disc is awesome for doing those arm/tummy cuts. Well done mate that looks really smart :)

Gosh I wish I could have built a bass like this!

Good job ! Well done ;-)

Nice build... I have always wanted to try and build my own bass... I recently after tons of research and asking a ton of questions on talkbass, dives into a headstock repair on my Ibanez. Its an inexpensive bass, but my father got it for me in 2003 and he ia no longer with us, but i had pretty much tossed a fit at band practice and tossed my bass down and damaged it. The headstock was split and cracked very badly... You can learn anything on youtube these days and i was successful with my repair... I would love to have some.custom inlays put in but no luthiers are close iny area and i haven't got the steady hand, patience, and courage to do it myself... Thanks for your video, and that bass looks and aounds great.

Amazing Work!Serious Skillset.THAT'S the way to own a Pre EB Stingray(would be my choice)style bass,without having to worry about theft,dings,or playing a bass that's worth$5k(+);You Have THIS guy build you one!+Pao Ferro wasn't even offered on Pre EB.As long as it sounds and feels legit.

I like your technique to achieve your comfort cut on the back..

I like the way you show that it is possible to build a guitar or a bass not in a special workshop! btw very nice job, i like it!! p.s. imho wooden knobs looks awful.

Looks amazing. I’m afraid the cost of the instrument and shipping to my location, would become too expensive. But it looks and sounds amazing.

Wow.

Just found your channel. Any chance that you're still building? I saw your multiscale bass build and wondered if you could make a Strandberg-style headless bass.

Nice!!! Inspiring DIY and beautiful instruments. And without the cheesy Crimson guitar babble! Would like to see more how youre thinking about setup specs, choice of wood, those details......

I'm interested in getting one

Great build. Just out of interest where did you find the roasted maple? Can you do this at home?

What other type of basses do you build and prices? I'm interested. This build is beautiful.

What size bit did you use for the body round over

How much is a Stingray bass built by you? I can't find your website? How did you avoid cracking the inlay as you installed the 12th fretstring?

Could you put a link to the template for body that you used? I wanna make my own as well!

Im currently building one too. whats the thickness of the headstock?

Another nice one......but leave some sandpaper for the rest of us next time 😂

Pretty cool, are you still selling these?

Man build me a BASS pleeeeeeezzze? I really have the money….lol…no but really i do! I just love your builds they have this rawness that I’m really looking for & i want hands touching my instrument not a robot!!! Can’t replace love bro. And I’m rewarding myself with a custom build after years of road, studio & just hard work it took to raise a family as a bassist full time and never had to really do much else ( pure luck). I’m extremely great full for being just lucky enough to be at the right place for a few long term gigs that made my being a full time musician worth while. However I have had some really nice basses and I’m always adding this taking away that too kind of make it mine per-say, but I’ve never had a custom and I just want one before it’s over. I’m still groov’n daily but I’m 60 now.

Really enjoyed this why did you stop posting here?

It’s beautiful. What website are you selling these on?

Not only does Yung Gravy slay MILFs he also builds his own basses.

How did you get the conductive paint to connect to ground?

Hey Paul I know this is an old video but are you still selling guitars? I'm specifically looking for a unique neck for a bass

Where can i buy????

Would you make short-scale bass?

Bagaimana cara untuk memesannya??

Where's the video for the jig at 7:37

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

How can I contact you for making a bass?

Is that some GD in the background

And when you add the time you spend on building it you get the other half of the price. ;)

You make it absolutely possible for a hobbiist to build a guitar.

Damn, the stripes on the back of the neck are so sexy!

Bro that’s awesome! But why a 3 piece body? I mean that’s cool and all. But how come you didn’t wanna do like a 1 or 2 piece body? I’m asking to learn, not to be a smart ass. I promise you that man.

А вот играть ты чувак не умеешь😭

You realize the fretboard squeezes glue into the truss rod cavity and the truss rod is covered in plastic… just sayin. This worry about glue in the TR slot is totally unnecessary
