Love the design honesty using the butterflies as a feature.

Those butterflies make each bass truly unique, as well as the construction more stable over time. I like it a lot.

I like how he mounts Music Man humbuckers In the correct “upside down” orientation which provides a much more comfortable and useful thumb rest for the player.

Keep up the creative work. As you continue your journey, you're getting farther from tradition, and further into invention.

Very cool thanks Tim!

The Apeiron Evolution, I dig it! The more of these you make, the more the design grows on me. I love how unique it is. And the Mk I still looks and sounds great! Thanks for sharing!

Solid design. I like the improvements.

I absolutely love this design! Some day I'll be able to afford a boutique bass and it will 100% be one of yours! ❤️

I remember watching the video on this the day it uploaded all those years ago. Crazy. Good shit Tim!

nicely done. or coming along nicely, if not quite done yet.

I thought it was an amazing idea and you sure didn't disappoint!

I love this iteration! The wood selections are perfect IMO. Woods that have large open grain are usually avoided by mass manufacturers to save time in finishing. As long as the wood is stable and strong enough for the job, USE IT! Have you ever thought of using Osage Orange for the bridge and nut? It's hard as nails but it would last forever on a bass.

Wow!!!!this is amazing

Nice video Tim. Love this line. Clean. Mahalo for sharing! : )

Really terrific and creative work Tim! As far aso those butterflies go & just for ha ha's, why don't you try making them in the shape of a butterfly wing. 👍👍🎸🎸🦋🦋🦋

Loving these!

GAWJUS, Tim! Love the incremental steps up...

I need an Apeiron 6 an Apeiron Bass6 in my life. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

I like the idea of the jack in the back of the instrument. May try that in the future. Keep up the great work!!

49th looky-loo view; 6th LIKE posted at 3:00 - always liked that first one; the simplicity of the design.

When people tell you "That's wrong!" but it works. I very much like the originality of the design. Just call the variations Mark II, Heritage Custom, and MK5 and keep people guessing what happened to 3 and 4.

i always find it funny when people are like "you cant make an instrument like that" when they are just running off assumptions made by others and passed to them. so many second hand opinions with very little backing in reality. while instrument making is very much a tradition with some beautiful traditional style instruments, i dont think people get how young electric guitars and bass' are, and how much room there is for experimentation. not to mention how the advances in things like composite materials and cnc manufacturing have really changed the realm of possibilities with these kinds of instruments. your og aperion seems great 3 years on! and i love watching your updates of the new versions.

i wouldn’t mind knobs on the back because i barely touch them anyway. on guitar i don’t really tweak with knobs but on bass i will tweak my knobs, but once i find a sound i like i set it and forget it.

"Maple is inexpensive." Please come to UK, and bring a lot of inexpensive maple with you.

I definitely like the "strings on a piece of wood" concept where you minimalise the visible hardware. Would be fun if you could somehow hide the tuners. Maybe headless bass tuners somehow slotted in the back. Dont do it for me off course, im located behind an importtax wall

I have some reclaimed american chestnut. Great stuff enjoy it while you have it.

Maybe try dogbone bowties? Has round corners and would look cool

Like deployed 👍

dont listen to those people, they dont know what they are talking about. you can use literally any hard wood to build a stringed instrument. you can reinforce wood with epoxy too, people who dont actually build need to shut their trapp.

What kind of screw-zip-tie clamps are those at 14:50?

Прикольное видео.. Интересно на сколько афигеет афтор видео узная что его смотрит русский из Казахстана 😂😂😂
