Вставка

- In this custom guitar project, I transform a bass guitar from its original form to the vision I came to with the client. Stephen Flam's first band was Winter:

and his new band is Goden:

When we talked about making a new custom guitar, we discussed getting one exactly set up for his preferences and he got this new Warwick 5 string bass. I customized the guitar to the new design.
Remember Trolls: use your baby voice when you comment!
love and respect!
enjoy!
Commission: "I'ma need a ridiculously overbuilt bass for a gig at the Thunderdome that might go south in a hurry."
Jimmy: "Say no more, fam."
Absolutely gorgeous. Hats off there Mr. Diresta, real work of art.
Especially like the soft corners on the pickups. The contrast of beautiful wood and hard steel is great.
Very apocalyptic.
Troll voice. "That guitar is going to be too heavy with all that metal."
Heavy Metal!
Somebody spent hours designing and building a precision instrument - then Jimmy tore it down and added weight. 🤦
More man hours probably went into the mods than actually making the bass.
@@ChrisPage68 Jimmy does what Jimmy does, result is awesome
Lol, I can hear that voice as I read your quote.
It is a beuty but as they said "heavy metal" !!!
I would love to listen to it with a proper ! May be the proud owner will post .
When I first started watching this video I was like oh my gosh what are you doing to a perfectly good bass guitar? Then watching it come together and seeing the final product I'm like wow that is killer! :-). Nice job dude
Very cool. My 5 month old especially liked the welding he kept looking all the way through ☺️
This just made my morning. Excellent job! Love the contrast between the steel and wood. Cool idea executed like a boss!
The musician side of me is screaming "NOOOO" and "Oh geez, be careful there that's gotta be precise!" through this whole thing. The DiResta viewing side of me is saying "yeah, hit it with the little hammer!"
best comment..
Absolutely amazing, from the experience to know welding over this wood guitar will be fine, to placing screws to hold the sides evenly by eye. And, of course, you can play the bass.
I think I gasped when you just cut the wires. Awesome build!
Great video. It's been a great ride watching you develop your metal working skills over the years.
I can't believe I never thought of drilling a hole before using a router to avoid having to use a plunge cut.
I actually tilt the router a little And rock back and forth with it until I reach the depth
You never cease to amaze us Mr. DiResta. Beautiful Work!
Amazing! Love watching years of experience and problem solving use to making something truly unique!
That bass is SO COOL!!! This is perhaps my favorite project of yours yet. As a bass player, I'd LOVE to have something like that. You transformed a decent, but boring instrument into a piece of artwork. Absolutely amazing.
very good Jimmy, one day I wish I could give my son such a masterpiece.💯💯💯💯👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Truly a "one-of-a kind" work of art. Nice job Jimmy. Stay Safe brother.
it looks badass no doubt but brings tears to my eyes at the same time.
The general populace: how thick can a veneer be?
.

Diresta: yes.
They close you in the house,
they shout on death and fright,
but Jimmy is at the bandsaw
and anything gonna be alright.
Chosing to modify a bass and not a guitar, wise choice
Chekmate guitarist
hello slappas
Stay safe Jimmy. Your videos gives us respite to our lockdown existence. Thanks and love from India.
Been waiting for this one ...it didn't disappoint!! 👍👍🔥🔥 The way you used the bandsaw to shape the body....wow, so cool!
Félix
Love this channel It has lots of different projects iron wood plastic you name it and it’s done professionally 👍
I think you should send this bass to Davie504 so he can slap it.. Slap like now if you approve
Slap da bass mon, slap da bass
Lol. slap it.
No pick - EPIC!!!
Big brain. Wise words.
Checkmate
Jimmy you're the definition of rock and roll.. creation via destruction
What a killer design! You showcase such a confidence in your abilities as a craftsman and artist. It is such a thrill to watch your process and how you creat your work. Thanks for sharing 👍
Extraordinary master piece .... magnificent !
Amazing project boss. You the Best 🙏🙏👌👍👍
I have serious bandsaw envy.
Kickass makeover!!
Wonderful. indestructible!!!! Great to watch the process. Always learn new things watching you work. Thanks for keeping up the postings in the new world. Be safe Jimmy.
Guy from Warwick: “That’s cool and all, but you know it’s going to void the warranty, right?
Diresta: “And....?”
I hope your client can play the bass is good as it looks.
Ain't no Warick, a cheap Williams only

Think this is the band
Michael Cthulhu would be proud of this. Fantastic build once again.
diresta be like "imma do everything with my bandsaw"
And it works quite well
I dig that.
I do everything with a dremmel.
If you have the right bits you can build a house with a dremmel!!!
Have to admit,
He has an awesome bandsaw!
Just Wow!! What a challenging sophisticate Project
....of COURSE he plays bass.
You are insanely talented! I love watching your videos!
That is one rock n’ roll machine!
Impressive! I wouldn’t be surprised if Warwick decided to make your own signature bass.. And call it “The DiResta”
I'm just here for the baby voice!
Wow very impressive .... at the beginning i was doubtful .. but then i was amazed ... wow .. all this word did by hand and .. free hand with tool s objouvsly .. it was done in Jimmy way .. . pure art.. like playing music .. thou
You are the man! Privilege to see you work!
Sold! Who needs steampunk when you have a crafted one-off? Nice!
I think it would have been cool to have heated the steel and let it burn the wood so that it looked like the steel was engulfing the guitar with molten fury. Of course that is the beauty of art we can all have different ideas. :-) Nicely done as always!
Nice 5 string Bass guitar! Terrific work & that was quite the transformation Jimmy. Having made a few Bass guitars myself, I can really appreciate your work. You never cease to amaze... 🎸🎸👍👍😉😉
Amazing talent and skills. Wasn't sure if I was going to like it. The end product was spectacular
These are the type of videos that got me watching you in the first place. Thanks and well done
Wow! Just wow! That has to be the coolest custom guitar build that I have seen in a long time. I would love something like that if I could afford it. You have such a gift, so creative.
I love mixing wood and steel. Looks good
Yes there will be blood - beautiful work
This transformation is mind-blowing. WOW
If I only had all your tools I still couldn't have done that! amazing work, super cool.
Slick very slick!! Thank you for sharing
Now i want to see the madlad that use it for live performance. Must be an absolute unit
Such a fab build & watch, creating something that had an off world look to it, as though it would be carried & played by a Klingon. Thank you for sharing!
Very nice. I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work 👍🏽
Man, your creative talent is the best I've ever seen.
Thank you Jimmy.
Stay safe.
Nice looking bass from the master of mayhem.Hahaha. Great looking too and back,not to mention the 3d shapes of metal attached. Good one bud.👍🎸
That's a damn fine looking bass you made there.
I liked the sawblade bass but this one hell yeah nice work jimmy!stay save!👌🤟
Awesome! I did shudder a bit when you ran it over the jointer!
Theres the Jimmy I use to know and why I subscribe to your channel. Very first time I seen your vid was the AK guitar vid. Love the lil quick random builds. Keep these vids coming. Best reason why I subscribed is watching the way you go about things while building that most people would never think of weather its glueing, cutting, sanding... etc
Thanks for an old school diresta video. They're so satisfying!
I started watching due to GGBO. This is phenomenal. Artistry at its best!
Another Edit Masterpiece......
Oh sweet a Warwick vampyre! That body could use an upgrade!
Looks good Jimmy your use of tools is eye candy. I liked everything but the screws. Maybe something a little more rustic. Thanks for sharing
That bass is so cool! WICKED
The contrast between the liquid ripple of the hardwood and the ripped up metal wrapping is like opening a big green spiky chestnut burr and seeing the deep smooth brown of the nut within.
first i thought you lost it, and i was never a fan of heavymetall music. but this piece of heavy metall rocks it looks amazing, would love to hear the sound! keep them coming stay safe and healthy
That's a darned cool looking bass guitar. I love the guitar-shaped headstock!
Very cool, beautiful work
Wood working techniques & metal working techniques. I learned so much from this Video. 👍👍👍
That thing is crazy looking! Really interesting combo with the walnut and the steel.
so comforting
Steampunk DirestaCaster (aka backbreaker!) :-) Impressive vision Jimmy.
*baby voice* you've chaaanged, you don't make signs anymore...
Kidding aside, bass looks metal. Reminds me of a armoured Hercules beetle
Idk how or what gave it away but I just new what kinda look you were going for. This is one of the best ones I've ever seen.
Another Diresta 1 of a kind gonna be worth millions one-day. Wish you a great day Jimmy wear ur scarf bud
Well done!Mr. Diresta 😉
That is an awesome makeover! It’s been on my list to make a guitar and after watching this I’m moving it up my list! Beautiful! Thanks for your inspiration!!!
Thank you Jimmy!!
Piece of art. Respect
Awesome! Looks beautiful!
wow and as a begginer luthier im just amazed by the way you did it, any luthier would never think of that
That is a beautiful creation sir
It's a very Bass'ick project ;-) Awesome as always !!!
Hey jimmy, you probably don’t care and I hate to bother you. I’m a fireman here in Kentucky and I love to talk to your dad and hear stories about his time in the job. Thanks, Kyle.
About damn time you made a video about a guitar or bass!
Awesome piece of art! Any musician would be proud to wield a custom one off axe like that! Great job Jimmy.
Nice Steampunk themed restyling. I really like the immersion of the steel with the hardwoods.
But the real question is, "Will it Keeel?"
... that is HILARIOUS... Doug...
It will cat!
im dying with these comments hahahaha
It will keel. And sound horrible in the process
I'm not going to lie, sometimes I am too opinionated after watching some videos on UA-cam but in this case I can only marvel at the craftsmanship and the fact that it's all free-hand with no over-engineered measuring or milling machine setups.
Beautiful job and awesome transformation, it went from dull to a piece of art, I'm actually jealous of your skill, if you weren't a Yankee you would be 100% perfect Jimmy. LOL
Come down South we would love to have you and we don't say that much down here. :)
Nice work. Very cool, thanks
In Jimmy's next video...how to extinguish a small fire in your shop.
Awesome work as always, jimmy.
I was not expecting that, but amazing things happened!
The perfect bass for a country metal band
Nice work. Good spin on things!
That beast must be heavy as hell!!!!! Played a Kramer DMZ 5000...thats gotta be light compared
I would NEVER do that to one of my guitars!
...which is why I do not have a guitar that cool. Nice job man, fantastic work.
Man I love your bandsaw skills, but I love everything you do. Addict to your channel. Cheers mate.
Kin cool hope it sounds as good as it looks encore
