Nice build! Question for you. Did you use long shaft potentiometers in order to get the knobs to engage properly? If so, do you have a part number for them?
Just curious...if you have already bound the fretboard, how do you make the fret slots deeper after radiusing the fretboard?
@@MixingGBP I cut the slots deep enough, so that the frets still fit after radiusing. Gaps will be filled with glue while fretting.
@@ArkesGuitars Ah, cool. Very nice build, btw. I am in the middle of my neck thru bass build and I have a neck blank and 2 wings. I think I want to cut the truss rod slot right now since everything on the neck is still square and stiff against bending. I noticed you did your slot after rough cutting the neck blank. No wrong way to build a bass I suppose, but just curious why you chose to do the truss rod slot after rough cutting the neck blank. Thx!
I wanted to see the finished back! 😢
I'd love to do my own build, however the amount of technique and general know how, mistakes to avoid, critical areas and a list of other things makes me hesitant trying to build my own.
Just go for it. You will do mistakes and you’ll also correct them. You’re only shaping wood 😉.
I'm still gathering a few necessary tools in my Wood Shop. I have an idea to build a ported body out of Waterfall Bubinga with a Maple and Purple Heat neck with a Ebony fretboard. I might even try some inlay work on the fretboard. For now it's a future project that's going to require some thought and more research and nice sharp tools.😉
Hello, how are you? What did you use to paint the guitar? And after what kind of oil did it pass? I hope you see this comment after 3 years of video! My compliments on the incredible work
Hi, I used waterbased black stain by CLOU and finished it with Crimson Guitars - Guitar Finishing Oil. Thank you!
@@ArkesGuitars Thanks a lot buddy 👍🏽
Beautiful work!!
Thank you!
Great build. The BGM really makes me want to play Sega for some reason...
Amazing that so much craftsmanship goes into this guitar and you use wood glue and not hide glue?
Thanks! Yes, it’s titebond woodglue.
Nice ❤
Nice work
Awesome series! I enjoyed the whole thing.
Again, thank you very much!
Putting a strip of tape down along the side of the fretboard before taping off the fretboard between frets to make it easier to remove all the tape is genius.
Thank you! Yeah, you need that tape anyway. So why not putting it on first. You’re quite amazing yourself!
Nice jig for cutting the brass for the inlay dots!
Thanks!
This is great! Just found your channel so I subscribed. Great idea to glue the scrap wood to the saw as a stop. I will definitely do that next time I cut frets without a jig.
Hi man, what did you use for painting?
Water based black stain by CLOU
@@ArkesGuitars Thanks my friend!!!
Loved that headstock.
Thanks!
Please can you tell me what stain you used? The whole guitar came out very nice by the way :)
Hi! It was water based black stain by CLUE which available in almost every hardware store here in Germany.
@@ArkesGuitars thank you so much. I used crimson guitars stunning stain in black and it is terrible
@@WikWak yeah, i had a red und blue stunning stain as well and wasn’t too happy with the result. The finishing oil though is a must have.
@@ArkesGuitars Im glad im not the only one unhappy with those stains. I cannot find any information on "Clue" brand stains :( Do you know if they go by any other names outside of Germany?
Awesome!
Very nice done! Inspirational and motivational!
Thanks man, makes me really glad.
Keep on doing that! Waiting for the new episode
Excelente artesano... Un maestro.. alguien sabrá el costo de esa guitarra???
What did you use for the sealer over the stain?
Crimson guitars finishing oil.
Apparently not any fun playing those axes.
It’s the music that makes us grim 😉
No truss rod?
Of course!
How much for one of these?
neat! btw, any chance you're a fan of Dissection? I can feel a bit of them in your song
Thanks. Actually, I’m not familiar with Dissection, but I will check them out.
Amazing to watch , very skilled craftmanship
Thanks
Круто!!! Хочу такую гитару)
Amazing build!!! Is it ok for your next build if ever if you can use vantablack or black 3.0 would be awsome
How much cost this guitar
What size chamfer bit did you use for the body edge profile? It looks great!
Thanks! I think the length of the blade is 20mm, but I have to check once I’m in the workshop. I will let you know.
Check out the final part of this build and make sure to stay until the end to hear how it sounds.
Beautiful bass! How is the scale length tho? 33'' to 35''?
Hey thanks. It’s 34“ - 35.5“
No masking tape over truss rod?
Well, I’ve done it both and can’t really see or hear the advantage of having masking tape over your trussrod.
@@ArkesGuitars Ok. I think people do it to eliminate the risk of the truss rod getting stuck or not working properly due to the glue.
@@LEGhellnah I see but I think it highly unlikely. Never experienced it myself.
@@ArkesGuitars Yeah. Many luthiers are paranoid I guess, but that's not always a bad thing lol. Also can't wait for part 2.
Amazing work man
Thanks
I always like your build videos. Love the choice of woods for this guitar.
Thanks! I really appreciate it.
Looks wicked. Your builds are always clean and the video work is top notch.
Thank you 👍
Enjoy watching this video! Cheers!
Those inlays are awesome, you did great job homie, & random question, do you know if you can do the same thing to customize a kit guitar neck?
Thanks. Well, it depends on the kit guitar neck. If it’s already fretted then no. Otherwise yes. Cheers
Great soundcheck song🤟
Thanks. It‘s „Built Upon The Ruins Of An Empire“ by my band „DELIRIUM‘S DAWN“. open.spotify.com/track/7dbymzff4T9K9YZmfipBMt?si=KXjjepgkRbG4z5mm75d-9w
Wow😮😮😮 Maestro!
🤘
Nice
Thanks!
Great soundtrack. And the bass too, of course
Thank you!
Amazing work man!!! Cheers from Greece. What kind of templates did you use? I have found/paid for several Explorer Templates but all of them lack a lot of information about the neck etc...
Thank you. Well, yeah. I had an Epiphone explorer from which I got many details. Although this clearly isn’t a Epiphone shaped explorer.
𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖒𝖔𝖘𝖒 ❤️
It looks beautiful. It sounds amazing. 😎 I was hoping for a full rundown of the specs.
Отличная работа! Лайк! подписка:)
I have been following this project as I am building a 5 string multiscale bass myself. Picked up a few tips along the way... Cheers and Well Done!
That’s awesome! Thanks!
What a gorgeous bass, is there a specific type of dye you used on the top? I noticed you used the crimson finish, is that the high build?
Thank you very much! It’s water based stain. I mixed different shades of blue. And yes, it’s the crimson guitar penetrating oil, not the high build. I wanted a satin finish. Cheers
@@ArkesGuitars is there a specific brand of dye you would recommend?
Felicitaciones excelente trabajo!!!!
And part 5? 🥺
Almost finished. It‘ll be the last part with a song playthrough at the end.
