That headstock!!!! Wow
Crimson Custom Guitars When I saw that, I almost dropped my tablet. Amazing. Being on two different continents would make it tough, but if the two of you could find a way to do some sort of collaboration, that would be fantastic.
But where's the auction link?
I agree, the headstock nails it. Great job, Dan.
@@getenlightened
There is a link in the description but it seems it will be auctioned later this month.
@@onpsxmember Thanks
I'd love to see that applied to an electric guitar!
Stay true , Dan. That headstock is by far the coolest thing in the whole competition.
K agave to agree. Very cello'esque
Why did he not lower the neck instead of raising the bridge? Would look much cleaner.
Everything about that headstock is pure unprecedented coolness.
Check it out the 12 string electric rickenbakers from the 60’!
I just about died at the cameo from Dylan. 😂😂😂
I feel you 🤣
Lol, me too
Dan, you're literally the biggest sleeper of this competition. Your entry literally lifted my heart a bit.
In competition full of guitar builders you've built a bass.
With custom pickups
Wound by another travelling youtuber
Finished under blue sky
While moving
In space and being short on time
To raise awareness for lack of access to water.
Thank you man, your video surprised and satisfied me the most.
Also calmed me after I found finished strat neck with nut and tuners for around 20 bucks on my local auction site and got soooo excited to finally start my dream strat build. Before realising that I'm in Norway and should finally find a job before buying non-essential items back in Poland :v
I just had to share this story with fellow guitar ethusiast. Now I feel a bit better acting kinda responsible
Loved the nature scenes
Amen, the humor, the creativity, the scenery, the BASS! The bass build community loves you dude.
I think everyone's awake now. I think the smaller channels have actually built the best 3 guitars ive seen so far. For me 3x3, big d and guns are tied for first and I cant make up my mind which I like better.
Artur Brzozowski, you might literally need to see a cardiologist about your literally lifted heart.
@@horacebugzapper499 yeah. I might try to stop bouncing my butt of the chair as well
Someone get this man a job designing the prs basses
I think he just did. Does look really nice.
*DEFINITELY!* 😎👍
You're an absolute lunatic haha. That is awesome. Great work Dan.
I love how he even pointed out that you called it though. I know it was good spirited trash talk, but sometimes it is hitting the nail on the head. Just watched your build video too. Finishing twice, ouch.
Hello there
@@nickagervasi The double finish was something haha. At least Dan didn't design his entire build based on the trash talk like Ben haha. All the builds are super cool though.
Ya he is
Did you really need to create 50 accounts to downvote?
You, Sir, are my hero. You stood up for the low end. Thank you. Really, thank you.
Dan: builds bass in great guitar build off
Davie504: WISE CHOICE
Malto epico.
I wonder if he asked Davie's permission first?
Slap like now.
Approved!
4:30 "I wonder why more people don't do that"
Well.. for starters not everyone has access to a 100K RV xD
Well..... It's like, his home. Maybe $75,000 up to maybe $100,000. Inexpensive living.
@@WesNorthOf45 I don't know how it works in America but I can't get a mortgage on an RV. And I sure as hell can't pay 100k out of pocket. And there's not a bank in the world that will lend me the money if I tell them I'll use it to drive around building guitars 😅
100k is definitely not bad for a home but considering you can't pay it over the course of 30 years it's a hell of a lot of money.
@@SyntheticFuture Greetings ! I'm gonna guess that just about every RV sold in The USA is sold based on debt, given our love for having massive debt. An $80,000 loan on an RV would likely come in under $800 monthly on a ten year term. Less than what one might pay for even the crappiest rental in many markets. There is a lot of wide open space, here in America. Mix in some free parking with some state park camping and some national forest camping. Maybe $500 for camping fees monthly. No automotive expenses necessary. RV's can be a bit guzzly with the petrol. Avoid unnecessary driving of the RV. Not impossible.
Incredibly cool, Dan. PRS should be paying attention and saying “Holy crap, we could have been building those this whole time?”
That is most undoubtably the most modern awsome twist on a guitar kit I've ever seen. That headstock is so innovative I now have a new respect for this channel. Awsome job man!
"The best time to experiment is *names all the worst times to experiment*" .
The Bass guitar looks really good. One of your best build in my opinion. Look forward for next weeks sound demo
To be fair, that's the Crimson Guitar's MO too, for a lot of his video'd projects haha
Amazing work Dan! I'm sure i speak for a lot of people when i say that choosing to make a bass guitar was such a bold move that i think everyone in the competition did not expect but deeply respected it. The bass looks absolutely gorgeous! As a bass player myself, i truly hope that you will win and that someone out there will play that beautiful instrument with love and care.
Stay safe Dan and everyone one else here enjoying the video!
Glad everyone has been posting their videos for the build off today, been a lot of fun watching these.👍
Unbelievable build. By far the best you’ve done. Also, PRS should watch this and take some notes 🤘🏻 😂
No question: This is the winner build! Congrats, this is a design masterpiece!
Dan, you absolutely nailed it!
Definitely the classiest build of them all, simply stunning.
Just the right amount of mods to the original kit to put your own stamp on it and just the right amount of innovation to make it stand out.
Great job!
All of this stuff you guys are doing could easily be on television. I’ll be spending the rest of my evening watching all of the official and unofficial entries. Really great stuff !
Thanks for the AWESOME builds Dan! Watching your videos has inspired me to try to build my own bass as well.
All the best to you and yours! 😃👍
Love this Dan! I'm a huge fan of Dylan's channel too, so seeing this crossover is sick! So awesome from both of you!!
Love the fact that you went a different direction for this! Very Dan of you lol. I do have to say though, this is by far my favorite of your build, and I've loved all of them, been following since your first strat build!
DUDE!
My favourite build so far in this build off!
Absolutely jaw dropping looks and spec.
Kudos to you my friend!
That is sooo cool, awesome idea for the comp, love the tuner configuration. One of your best Dan 👍
That is the most unique headstock I have ever seen. Nicely done Dan.
This build is spectacular, dude! I wish I could have seen it in person.
This is AWESOME! One of my favourite videos ever, nice one Dan!
Nice! THis might have been your best build yet. Being it's a bass makes it even better. Good luck!
Wow dude, I am impressed with how well you do with what I would call a "working man's toolset" if you catch my drift. Your engraving work is freakin' awesome too btw! Good luck!
This actually looks like the perfect bass for the perfect cause. You really have already won! Well done, Sir.
Here we go! Finally :) Can't wait to see the pickup video...AND, you rule for linking to the other videos.
You continue to inspire me, Sir. I can't wait to get back to building. You've taught me so much. Thank you!
I really wish this was a raffle based competition. Fantastic job my dude!
7:45 ... lol! Never explain the joke!! Never!! 😁 love the headstock design! Ha! Your dremel tool shaping noise was in tune with the background music!... Harbor Freight files! They are great, been using a set for a year or so!! I gotta say I'm amazed at your freehand routing and drilling! I'd've had nothing but tear outs from the word go! Wow! The resulting bass is so so cool!!!
Wow. You get around, hurdygurdyguy 🤣👍😁😉
@@blazer6248 LOL! Just like the Beach Boys song!
This has to be the coolest build in the whole competition. Seriously so innovative and beautiful! Well done, Dan
Wow! I stumbled on this video and you are amazing. A one of a kind bass with a very cool build. I can't wait to hear how it sounds. Thank you Dan, you are an artist and a good man.
I must say that everything from the pickups to the headstock to the bridge are perfect, coming from a bass player. I would personally love to see a production model just like this, I would totally buy it (although perhaps in a 34” scale length)
It’d need a bigger body for a 34” scale or it’d look out of proportion and balance badly.
@@Jonathan_Doe_ With a bigger body then
Bass is the solution to all problems in life.
SLAPP Like Now
Mind = blown! I have watched so many of your videos Dan, but man, this is just pure brilliance!
Thank you!
Truly wonderful.
Keep making such fantastic videos and guitars (and basses).
Best wishes from London.
I was thinking about doing tuners like that, rickenbacker style on a 12 string gold top PRS im building
SLAP LIKE NAO FOR 🅱️ASS.
Editing after I watched the video, awesome job. The classic guitar style tuners are great, the pickups look great and your finish is stunning. Congratulations.
PastelComGini E P I C O
coolest entry done with tools anyone can get. so impressed by the headstock, all the ideas used and how you work it out from crude cuts to super skilled result. just awesome!!!
Wow, Dan, you really stepped up to the plate! So much to love in this video. The creativity with headstock is awesome, but so is the carving. I've seen you do carving on another build and it was equally impressive. That may be your calling card even more than the oddball wiring. Video production values were also outstanding with the scenics and the humor. Keep up the good work.
"I'm gonna make sure to grind the metric side, because we're in America" omg I lost it.
Dan, dude, my brother in Christ, this video hit me way too hard. I laughed. I cried (yes for real). I shouted in excitement with my fist pumping into the air.
Those pickups?? That artistic carve?!? That headstock design?!?!?! Paul Reed Smith should be on the phone with you right now begging you to come run his bass design shop. This instrument is exactly what they’ve been missing thus far.
Finally, I probably can’t afford to win this auction, and I for sure hope the price on this gorgeous work of art spirals far out of my reach; however, you better believe that I’m going to bid early and often until my budget is exhausted. If you don’t win this contest, I’ll be shouting “Shenanigans!” from the rooftops. Truly amazing job. Truly.
No doubt my fave out of the builds
Great work mate, and now I finally seen what you did with the headstock
Outside the box thinking, and very cool outcome. Really impressed all around. Awesome work Dan!
Why wasn’t Dylan in the great guitar build off? Hopefully he’ll be in next years.
Because he just started building a guitar, he is mostly on electronics until lately.
He's not into building guitars as much as pickups, as far as I know.
Jay G his channel has him building guitars from at least two years back.
@@dasdaro
There is always next year, hopefully with a raffle.

The auction is live! Bid on this Bass here! www.ebay.com/itm/303682583723
Congrats Dan, amazing build, and that wave etching is simply stunning
I hope your wealthiest G&G fan plunks down 100K for that bass! The $$$ is already in the "unobtainium" range for me. I contacted Dylan for a set of those pickups! Thank you for introducing him on your video.
Wow, it's doing great, congrats! And there's still 6 days to go...
i have watched you do some crazy stuff thru the years but this one is by far the sweetest neck yet. great job
this may be my favorite build of yours to date. the concept, the headstock, awesome
Looking at the headstock and i'm worrying about neck dive.
with short scale it might just work, but then again there is a guitar body... so the neck dive is plausible.
I'm thinking adding the thickness is maybe balanced by what is cut out.
First like and comment omgwut?! This looks great!
Holy-crap you are going to totally win this competition! Great job, man! Great video! :)
Way to come through at the end! Very innovative build and pure Dan!
Makes a two color bass. As you can clearly see, this represents good vs evil in our world
Did I hear you say the love of Jesus bro you rock !
Absolutely gorgeous guitar build and my favourite of the bunch (when you consider the strength of the competition, that is really saying something) Well done Sir!!
DAN! JUST WOW! THIS AXE IS ABSOLUTELY KILLER!!!! I cannot get over how cool the headstock is as well as the finish and of course the whole thing altogether! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wise choice, Davie504 would be proud
I enjoyed this video until he started talking about Jesus...
At least he doesn't beat us over the head with it. And the clean water thing I can get behind.
“He told people to eat his body and drink his blood. That’s so cool. Jesus was so cool. No wonder there are so many Christians.”
As a staunch atheist, I understand, but I just panned ahead until he he finished his paean. The excellent quality of his work is more than worth me dealing with that he, like the majority of humans, adheres to a mode of thought imbued in most people at a tender age. It is what it is. And it doesn't at all undermine my ability to enjoy his creativity and talent. But I feel you. The struggle is real.
Can they still get water without the Jesus or do they just get piss?
gastropunk gotta boil the hell out of it?
Awesome-Awesome-Awesome Dan! Man WHAT an absolutely beautiful bass.
Been away for a bit(computer crashed) but now I'm back dude. God bless you
and your family. Hope all is well? Good luck with everything headed towards y'all.
Love the wave, the headstock, and of course the pickups. Great job.
Guns and religion? What a turn-off... everything was good up to that point.
Yep...
Dude, everyone's different and has a different world view. Try some tolerance and acceptance.
Wow! Great build and unique as well. Really nice job! Good luck!
True guns and guitars style build great job Dan loved that you had a beautiful notched straight edge that u couldn't use so had to make one brilliant!
I'm a newbie to your channel but I've been watching and loving most of the others for years. However, this is my favourite build in the competition. Great stuff and a great video to show us the process. Love it
Cant wait to hear how it sounds !! Great job Dan & super cool for the assist by dylan for some pickups !! :)
Awesome bass! Loved watching the build process, and that headstock is ace!
Great build! Can't wait for the demo
Great job, super interesting build. Love the tuners setting idea. Looking forward to hear the samples from this great looking shortscale bass.
Awesome use of artwork, between the grains and the wave! Super looking bass!
Yesssss!!! Love seeing you doing your thing, broheim.
Awesome stuff Dan! That wave is sublime 🌊🙏
Your build it's definitely the best one. It's just beautiful!!!
Truly impressed with how this turned out. Great job Dan!
Really beautiful bass. You’re creativity and craftsmanship are very impressive. Great job!
Awesome work Dan. Love that you showing some bass love.
Amazing dude, very blessed to have watched you and your skills 🙏
Looks great Dan. Love the headstock shape and the classic style tuner placement.
Great charity too👍
Incredible build, absolutely beautiful bass with unique qualities...i love it.
Excellent choice going against the grain, and ....well, with the grain too. I hope you win the comp- but we all win with your channel sir.
This is seriously one of the best bass build videos I've seen. Great editing, cool project, great explanations and not just a "parts" build but real building and wood working skills. Good music, awesome backdrops...just really cool. For me to watch an entire 28 minute UA-cam video is nuts.
So far of the 5 builds I've seen, I do like the look of yours the most Dan.
Nice job.
Great job Dan. I love what you did with the tuners. Loved the cameo from Dylan as well :)
Oh I'm loving this! And the headstock design is a work of genius!
That's a really good looking bass. Very nice build. May the Force be with you.
I’m looking forward to seeing you playing that short scale bass guitar pretty soon. As far as clean water goes, that’s very important. God bless you.
This is by far my favorite video you've done so far
That headstock and the body finish with that wave motif look amazing. Great work.
I'm impressed of the thought out design process with the headstock. You Rock man!
Amazing, plus your message is so great as well. Amazing work such a great video.
This build is aestetically so soothing
I love it; there's something in your taste that just give me peace
Love your builds, really admire your life style
Keep it UP :DDDD
Dan, you continue to amaze. Please keep doing what you're doing - ten years from now, I can easily see you being a household name in the world of custom guitar builders. Incredible build. Rock on, brother.
That is one awesome bass. Can't wait to hear it. Well done dude big kudos. 👍
Great idea with the headstock. Makes so much sense too. Very cool to finally see someone put work into a bass. They always miss out on the love.
Great build! Good luck!
Great job Dan! Loved the bass! The wave is sick! ♥️♥️♥️
Dan! That was great seeing Dylan in you Video! Great get together guys! Loved it. So Creative. And such nice timing and working together. You guys are amazing...I live such a boring life. You two are my Heroes...
Great job Dan, beautiful build!
Awesome job brotha. I love seeing fellow believer youtubers who represent with excellence. Your video inspired me to look into getting the tools I need to fix the fret buzz on my Blueridge acoustic. Blessings!
