Making a 5 String Padouk-Wenge-Oak Bass
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2021
- It has been a while since I posted something other than the house project I'm on right now so here is a bass to break it up a little bit.. :D We made this one for a customer, he only insisted on five strings and everything else was up to us. This one is made from wenge, oak, padouk, ebony and maple. Quite a lot of different species but they went together just fine. The body is made from oak and wenge in shape of our spring bass model while the head was custom. Neck is made from padouk and maple strips while the fretboard is made from hard ebony with two veneer layers of maple and wenge. We went for a clean look so no engravings and markings on the fingerboard this time, just a Lignum logo laser burned on to the body. Back electronics and battery covers are also made from wenge wood. harware we used for this build is EMG JX set, Schaller BM Light machine heads, Schaller 3D-5 bridge, Schaller S-locks, Daddario EXL 165-5 strings.
I hope you like this this project! Please ask any question in the comments and as always, subscribe for more!:D

Perfect choice of music. Somehow, even with all that "noise" from the tools, I find this so relaxing I almost fell asleep haaha. Awesome guys, as always
Thank you very much! I'm sure guys that made the music will be happy reading this!:)
@@lignumchannel Where we can find this music?
Сколько же вложено души и труда и времени... Красавцы просто!
all techniques from woodworking to manual labor to the highest level of CNC technique for making guitars in one word fantastic what a craftsmanship 👍👍👍
Whenever you do a new guitar build I say to myself, "This is the best one yet!" Every time.
I love the extension and of the fingerboard onto the headstock. That’s a great idea I’m going to copy!
Simply stunning, I'll never get tired of your guitar projects!
Thank you so much! We are curently working on three more, one of them will be out of this world..😉
As a bass player and a woodworking/CNC/Laser/3Dprinting hobbyist, this was satisfying AF
There is something utterly fascinating about lamination and CNC. Can't resist it.
Glad you like it Nicole! :)
Excellent! Your creative use of various wood species makes beautifully unique instruments.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it Scott! :)
Beautiful work by machines with just a little help from the people.
Absolutely amazing, definitely moves a wood cnc up my list of dream tools
Groovy! 😀 Aw man, what a stunning looking bass! Really loving that one, and the black hardware really finished it off well. Superb!
Glad you like it Matt! Thank you😁
Always love these videos... this is my favorite bass you all have built uet
Really nice! I’ve worked quite a bit with Wenge and Padouk…. I’m sure by now you know the splinters from Wenge are brutal! I’ve built quite a few guitars I never had the luxury of a CNC machine always had to do everything with router jigs and lots of templates!
This bass is a work of art 💯
Thank you very much Hamprey! :)
I loved this build!
Beautiful, and thanks for the beauty shots this time ;)
Thank you very much for watching Blake! Glad you like it!
What a perfect combination of CNC and old school handwork, best of both worlds!
What a beautiful work of art. Sounds great. Awesome job and video!
Errado. Aqui não existe arte. Cadê o trabalho do luthier? Só tem máquina. Lamentável.
Another beautiful bass. I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watchung Seth!
Absolutely stunning! Love it!
Thank you Cormac! :)
Absolutely beautiful.
Work of art.
Allways so beautifull, allways a pleasure to watch!!
Thank you so much Karl 😊
Beatiful instrument. The transition around 2:45 is fascinating and satisfying, and what a great music choice to go along with the build. I was tempted to slow it down. :) Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much! When I received the music I knew it will go great with this video! Glad you like it!
Your instrument builds never disappoint. So cool.
Thank you Chris!
This might be my favourite you’ve made! So beautiful!
Thank you so much Ellie!😀 I hope the next one will be even better!
Simply.... AMAZING!
Stunner!!
Another great project my friend. Love the use of the Wenge.
Thank you John!
Perfect Instrument, i love it!
That’s one awesome looking bass 👍🏻
That’s absolutely stunning 😍
Thank you! 😊
Great job !!!
Oh man! I love the smell of padouk. 🤩
Yeah it realy is different, wenge also!
Great look! I made very similar looking 5 stringer as my carpenter's thesis, only it has maple instead of oak. It is my favorite instrument of all time, only a little heavy 😅
BEAUTIFUL ! PERFECT !
shot at 2:55 was amazing, seeing it come to life like that
Yeah, seing it in real is fascinating for me each and every time..
Un proyecto increíble, felicidades, saludos desde Chile! 👏🏼🇨🇱
Excellent job. That’s beautiful.
Thank you very much! :)
Great build, great music, awesome video!
Thank you Lionel😁
Not a bass player but I can appreciate beauty when i see it. Definitely one of the better looking customs I've seen
Wow, thanks!:)
Wow, predobro! Video je full relaxing za gledat, a opet fascinantno gledat cijeli proces :)
Hvala Božidar!😁
@@lignumchannel ma hvala vama.. od kad sam vidio kaj radite samo cekam nove klipove :D nisam prije ni znao da to radite, a tu smo si doslovno na kilometar dva :D
So satisfying to watch
That is one of the best looking bass builds I have seen on You Tube and I was expecting some dynamic playing at the end but you played 12 bar blues and jingle bells.
Lovely build and a really good sound!
Thank you😁
Great job I love it
Love it! Want it!
Congrats to the CNC router, nice job machine!
That's not a CNC router, that's a freaking robotic arm! So much contrast with those other almost-manual machines, lol. :D
Beautiful .
Many many thanks
Masterpiece
Simply the best
Thank you Walter!
Damn....now I got a bad case of shop envy!
Nice work.
Wow, beautiful
Thank you Sammy!:)
great work gents - have a good christmas
Dude totally dig the wood choices for this build ..
I'd love to have the equipment and money to start trying to build.my own bass...
Beautiful!
Thank you!
beautiful!
So beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Good job, awesome bass
Thakn you!
@@lignumchannel Thank you for the video. Greetings from Russia. If I made a mistake, I'm sorry, I'm writing through a translator. The bass turned out good.
good god that is amazing
Wonderful!
Thank you Antonio!
Шикарно!
looks unique and stunning! only thing is the fast discoloration of the paduk, keep us posted in half a year how it looks, great job.
The last part where it is played is actually filmed a few days ago almost half year after it was built, we made it in early summer before I started the house project. We will see how it will look in a year or so but so far I just darkened a little bit. Glad you like it!😁
Awesome
Very nice looking and sounding bass!
BTW: Interesting shop. Obviously professional. But interesting equipment! Huge CNC, but not a drill press nor table saw in sight!
It's amazing
Thank you! Glad you like it!
love your videos and your basses
Thank you Hiram!😀
Qué hermoso bajo!!!
The robot is cool, but man, those vintage, green machines are something else.
Great guitar you made there!
Thank you very much J W!
Art!
Glad you like it Milo!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!:)
Love the combination of materials! How's the house coming along?
Beatifull York..
god thats beautiful
🤩
💖💖💖💖
WOW, that is so AWESOME !!! Very nice, very beautiful and a very great job! What is the dark type of wood you used on the top? It looks woo.
Thank you very much Byron! The dark wood is called wenge.
These are amazing videos, every time I'm amazed.
One question I have, what is the real "project" for you? the Guitar or the Video from it?
Nice work guys. It is a pleasure to watch your videos. May I ask you what type of cnc do you use? Is it a cobot? Could you tell me the brand?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Happy festive season @lignum
those are all the strangest industrial machines ive ever seen.
Wow, I want one
trabalho incrivel top top !!!! mais um inscrito ok
Beautiful. Sounds great. Very articulate and defined. Has a pleasant midrange like a Peavey Cirrus or some old Rickenbackers. How does the neck play?
New subscriber here.......love from India
Excellent work, love it.
Out of curiosity, why you do not cut with the CNC robot the headstock part, the angled section and the thru holes?
Thank you Ivan! I did for a couple of guitars but the time needed to position it precisely, securely and correctly is much longer than to do it by hand.
Sounds as good as it looks...
Yep make sure you have a lot of space in your new house for them...do i see a custom guitar displace cabinet coming in your future? Have a awesome weekend
I will make something along these lines , for the first few we made for sure.. Glad you like it Robert! Have a great weekend also! :)
Nice music, the Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees couldn't have done it better
😁thank you very much Peter!
What did you use for the finish? Wipe-on Poly? I'm restoring a guitar now and after I stain with dye I want a satin open-pore finish as well... debated oil, but, that looks more like I am after.
Hi Thomas, they answered in another comment : timberguard teak oil.
nice video, CNC makes the job a lot easier. just one question, why do you glue the trussrod? I've made 20 basses by now and never had issue with trussrod as my cavity is tight enough
Wow this is beautiful! Question - is that silicone caulk or something you put in the truss rod channel? I've heard of folks adding a few beads of that to help prevent rattling, but this is the first I've seen someone fill the whole channel. So the truss rod can still do it's thing that way? Again, gorgeous build!
Yeah, when I saw this I was like surely that’s gonna prevent the TR from doing what it does? But hey….what do I know…
Always great job my dear!!! What finish do you apply? You have robots and all kinds of machines: don't you have a press? 👍🏻😎
thank you Duke! We are still at the beginning of our guitar building journey and there are still many machines and tools we would like to get, with each guitar we are slowly getting there. For this guitar we used timberguard teak oil as a finish, we actually made this one during the summer and filmed the final scene couple of days ago so we could see how it is holding up. This is a work horse for a customer and he has at least two music gigs a week so we are extremely satisfied with the finish and sure it was a good choice.
This is awesome! But please, consider using a pop up door for the battery. I've had batteries die in the middle of a gig, and taking 3-4 minutes to change it is too long.
cooll!!
Thanks!:)
Very nice. Just stunning. Where can i order one? :)
Herrlich👍👍👍❤️
Thank you Frank!
Bass = Like
Thank you!😀
