Making a Summer Night Bass - Full Build

- Making a 2000 Year old bog oak and white ash bass guitar. Throughout the video, You can hear music samples played on this very instrument. For the last day of summer of 2020, a final guitar build from the four seasons series. We chose white moon and a star contrasting the dark honey comb body reminding us of clear starry summer nights . We started a couple of months ago by prepping the bone which we used as inlays for the star on the fret board and as a bone nut. After cooking, bone is cut into small blocks and submerged in gasoline cleaner fluid over the period of three weeks. After all the grease left the bone, inlays are cnc cut into star shape and then glued using superglue into slots on the fret board. Fret board is cut from a bog oak board which was drying for a couple of years. The body and the neck is made from dry white ash board which we first cut into pieces and left to dry and stabilize over 3 weeks. After gluing, the block is again left to settle for a couple of weeks to fervent future warping. Front of guitar also made from bog oak. Pieces are drying in the workshop for more than 3 years now and came perfect for this purpose. Each piece was cnc milled into hexagon shape and then cut into 16mm thick hexagons. Hexagons are glued together using epoxy mixed with graphite powder so all the cracks are filled black. Reason we used epoxy is because it doesn't cause warping as much as ordinary vinyl acetate glue does, especially when making thin end grain boards like this one. After setting, the block is cnc planed, milled into desired shape and glued again using epoxy resin to the main guitar block. Final shape of the bass guitar is milled using various flat end and ball end milling bits. Truss rod is made from 4mm cold rolled steel rods welded together using nuts as shown in the video. Truss rod is inserted into milled truss rod groove and covered with silicone to prevent rattling noises. Fret board is glued on to the neck, Head is sanded down to 14 mm thickness and the whole thing is prepped for coating. For this build, we used 5 coats of polyurethane pore filler followed by 4 coats of deBeer 8-114 polyurethane lacquer. Between each coat, the whole guitar is sanded and then left to rest for two weeks after the final coat. After two weeks, guitar is polished with progressively finer polishing pastes and assembled. We used Schaller bridge, machine heads and S-locks, EMG PJX pickups with electronics, jumbo frets and D'Addario strings. I really hope you enjoyed these guitar builds as much as I have. I hope there will be more in the future! :D

I'm just consumed by the tools, machines and of course the skills. What a feeling it must be to be able to built "anything" you want. Thank you for amount work you've put in to film and document all the process. That is the equivalent of a two years college course there all for free. Big thank you.
Definitely my favorite one yet. The fingerboard inlay, through neck, bog oak hex pattern, flawless glass-like finish. Absolutely beautiful! Neat to see how the truss rod is made too. That's something you don't see very often in guitar builds. I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching Seth! I'm glad you like it!😁 It's my favourite out of all four too..
This video cannot get better. It does. Then its them who were playing the AMAZING music.
Perfection achieved.
Always find myself saying "wow", "damn", or "WTF" when i watch your builds. Great stuff. Thanks.
:D Thank you J T!
Ok…that was one of the most insanely beautiful things I’ve seen in recent memory!! Incredible artistry, gorgeous instrument!!
Absolutely no words to describe the amazing piece of art transformation, I've never seen anything like it. Wow!! You blew my mind. Outrageous job guys and thanks for sharing I enjoy it very very much.
Absolutely beautiful!!! Such an original and well done design even all the way into the details everything about this bass is great thank you for sharing!
Looks like a floating sliver of a moon! Beautifully crafted instrument !!!
Very much a success!! I have really enjoyed watching your four seasons builds and this one was certainly a worthy conclusion. Thanks very much for sharing these buddy! Great work.
Thank you very much Matt! I'm really glad you enjoyed watching the series, I know I really enjoyed making them..🙂
The word "beautiful" hardly scrapes the surface. Amazing work!
Very, VERY impressive work!!! And the finished piece is absolutely wonderful!
A big round of applause! Build, video and music. Thanks. Cheers, David
Thank you very much David! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Gorgeous instrument and craftsmanship. Great drum outro too!
Thanks to the machines for doing all the delicate and difficult work. Without them the result would not be the same.
That’s another beautiful work of art. You guys always impress me. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you for watching as always! 😀
Great Work, great skills. Very beautiful outcome!!
Great craftsmanship, beautiful build and killer tones
Oh the craftsmanship of the makers: this bass needs a "breathe of life"!
A legszebb gitár ami létezik a világon! És én egy dobos vagyok! Gratulálok
Terrific - great workmanship, beautiful instrument.
Damn, I want one of these one-piece guitars.
Absolutely love the result of the custom made veneers... beautiful!
This is the most beautiful bass I've ever seen. You are amazing!
I love seeing the combination of traditional and CNC work. Truly a modern approach.
Glad you like it! Thank you Greg!
That shop has so many different machines, I wouldn't even know where to start 😂
A big priority priority is the on and off switch and possibly wearing a mask and goggles to prevent debris from entering your nose and eyes.
That's one beautiful bass guitar. And the workmanship absolutely a cut above. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Scott!🙂
That's a lovely bass!
Beautiful execution and design!
Man that was alot of work, looks amazing, good job.
Think about, that piece of oak falling in a bog and many many years later becoming a part in a musicinstrument with a technology so far away... fascinating and beautiful work!!
That's a really nice way to think about it! Glad you like it Karl! Thank you so much!
Those are definitely some sweet tools. I'm Green With Envy on these builds.
Fantastic work guys , beautiful looking bass and a phenomenal Tone 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏼
I was absolutely waiting the entire video for the reveal that the music we’ve been listening to was the bass you were building and god damn you nailed it.
:D Thank you very much, I'm so glad you like it! The end reveal is my favorite part of the video:D
@@lignumchannel I didn't know until the end, I was thinking the entire video that if this is stock music from UA-cam then its some new stuff I haven't heard anyone else using in their videos. Nice jamming! The bass looks and sounds awesome.
Excellent build video
Wow!! Amazing. That's a lot of work but what a beauty.
Impressive work! This guys are so skilled.
I really like that hex board as a body cap. That looks absolutely fantastic.
Whow what a beautiful build! I really like all the small details.
Thank you James!
Revealing that bone inlay. So satisfying. Gorgeous, inspired work as always. 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻💕 I’m also a total Sucker for hexagonal patterns. Amazing.
:D I'm glad you like it Phoeff! my favorite out of all four..
Great design, awesome woodworking and great CNC skills!
Thank you very much! Glad you like it Harko!:D

there are some serious tools. and the bass is a beauty.
Sweet looking bass man. Great job!
Respect for a custom build. takes a lot of work to make a beautiful instrument.
Absolutely amazing and beautiful craftsmanship
Thank you! Glad you like it:)
That looks amazing!
Fantastic craftsmanship👏👏👏
Looks amazing
I don't play guitar, but I would definitely hang one of these on my wall. They're a work of art.
That's a lovely comment but it's a bass
Absolutely amazing!!!
I wish I had the a workshop with all the tools and machines and most importantly, the sills to build a guitar like you do.
Beautifully made and finished. Thank you.
Thank you Steve!
I can't imagine the price of that thing.
Reasonable for what you get. The machines do a lot of labor.
Gosh, it's so wonderful!
Большой 👍🏻 за проделанную работу! С самого начала я уже предчувствовал что композиция играющая в ролике с участием этой гитары. Great job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow super impressive!!!! Amazing craftsmanship. Congratulations on an awesome build
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Amazing and beautiful as always!
Thank you John! 😊
Really cool design!
Beautiful
Amazing video
really a great job
it would be nice and fun to see all the guitars and basses together
I will make a video of them all together sometimes in the future for sure.. Glad you like the video! :)
I will never have that sick bass in my hands and that makes me sad. Awesome build
She's amazing!
Beautiful Bass !
Very nice work. Thank you.
Oh man! The hexagons are awesome. I especially love that you used the robot to cut them. I don’t know why, but I find it hilarious and pretty great that you use them for so much.
Really spectacular finish on there too. Like Ike’s like it was dipped in glass!
Yeah even I sometimes think if their use is for certain steps is an overkill.. :D but it's fun trying new approaches.. And that finish after 9 coats better be good ;) Glad you like it Bruxxus! Thank you for watching!
Это самый великолепный бас который я вмдел в жизни!Смотрел с великим удовольствием и изготовление и игру!
This is the most magnificent bass I've ever had in my life! I watched with great pleasure both making and playing!
yo the hexagonal top looks sick, I'm not even gonna try to replicate that without such machinery
love this! might be my favourite of all four!
Thank you Ellie! I know it is my favorite so far.. :D
how can you dislike this ,, great job sir you are the best
congratulations, beautiful work 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
That ash looks so nice!
I believe there comes a point where a bass can be too well made....to perfect... and too expensive to risk plugging it in. I think you found that point. This needs to go straight to a museum.
Just unbelievably beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Terrific stuff! 👍🏻
Thank you!:)
I like the sound of the machines with the music.
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Ficou lindo lindo! os hexágonos deram um toque ainda melhor, parabéns queridos!!!
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
that fret marker is probably the coolest I've ever seen
😁I love it!
BRAVO L'ARTISTE
You are a master craftsman
Bellissimo Lavoro! Bravissimi!
Really incredible work and great video - Kudos!~ How could anybody thumb this down that is beyond me
I love it!!
Great Video & build.
Thank you! :)
Cars and Guitars have almost a similar construction. Beautiful pieces of art
This is amazing! What’s more awesome is that although I don’t actually play guitar, I had watched so many guitar buildings videos I was envisioning if I were to commission a custom guitar for myself what it would look like a while ago. I wanted a moon somewhere on the guitar representing my birth name, and I thought the horns would be the perfect place for it, exactly as you have placed it! (Albeit for a bass instead)
:) Although the rest of it I was thinking more of a gold and midnight blue epoxy body as if it’s flowing out from the moon.
Both the overall design and the little details of this are just beautiful. Two minutes after watching the video is a little soon to be making gigantic claims about how much I like this as compared to all other guitars, but I really, really like this.
The editing on these videos has been great as well.
Thank you very much! This is my favourite so far.. Glad you like the editing:)
Fantastic guitar. Your CNC machine deserves a pay rise, it's very skilled.
lolol amazing
Cool I love it really so much you are so amazing
Uma obra de arte!
Looking forward to your take on the four seasons.
