Art. Masterpiece. The craftsmanship and level of quality in every detail. The design, esthetical, physical playability and sound quality. This is an instrument every serious bass player would dream to have. Thank you for making this video, so we can see how you work when making a high end bass guitar.
Oh man this project was incredible! I didn't forward even one second! Well done! Fantastic! As a 6-string bass player for 22 years I just can say incredible! Thanks for sharing!
this looks incredible and it sounds amazing without an amp which seems hard to come by with acoustic basses. I love it. If I ever got the opportunity I would love to see the process in person with a luthier
played guitar for a short time, never that good. That makes me want to try the bass and see if this old man can get back into it. Loved the whole process. Thank you for inspiration.
When I first saw your canna-tar, I thought this would be a great idea for a transverse acoustic bass... months later I find this. Awesome! Fretless would be amazing
yeah, I would love to make a fretless! I am thinking about making the 'missing link' between upright and bass guitar. Maybe use the traditional finish and a traditional bridge system. So many things I want to do at this point :-)
Truly one of the most satisfying and tactile builds seen , thank you for letting us into your vision of beauty , even if one can't play , just the feeling of cradling that guitar ,and yes definitely on anyone's wish list be it musician of collector of art.
I've watched dozen of guitar and bass builds, and they tend to be quite "samey" -- it's the same basic form with the same basic hardware. But Oh My Goddess this one. This one is the first one I can really call "beautiful". It's not the same... but it's still kinda, in a good way. I *LOVE* the way the holes are done, and how the head is also hollow in the middle. And I'm kinda in love with the weird extension to the neck, downwards. All in all, easily the most beautiful guitar/bass build I've ever seen.
Well, my instruments are very different. Most prefer the 'normal' design. But I don't make these for everyone, but for people like you! And thanks for the flowers! :-)
Freut mich, dass du das ganze Video gesehen hast; Ich könnte das nicht! 😀 Scherz beiseite. Echt schwer alle Schritte in ein Video zu packen das unter einer Stunde lang ist.
That was one of the most cathartic and beautiful things I've ever watched. It is incredible what just a man, some wood, and 100 grand (give it take whatever I don't know) worth of tools and jigs and clamps. Oh my. Seriously incredible!!!
@@cannaguitars4593 You're not counting all the labor investment you've made in all of your jigs and fixturing, which are considerable...and impressive.
Definitely... I have some old drawings I created of future headstocks I would like one day when making my own guitars), and I have something quite the same looking as this one. Strange that "big names" don't even try it (Martin, Gibson, etc...) why don't they, afraid of innovation?
@@benirodriguez9516 This is what Ned Steinberger's acoustic instrument heads looked like a long-long time ago in a far-far galaxy... About 40 years ago, it was innovative to completely abandon such a headstock.
beyond my comprehantion. unbelievable instrument. i looked up the 6 streen CANNA guitars, they are even more increadible. Impoirtant thing is - they sound soooo reach!!!
Innovative and beautiful design, definitely This is a work of art. I am very impressed. neck, body, fingerboard, head stock... are all wonderful!!! Thanks!
I love that box that clamps everything together. It seems to do multiple tasks. I love how you've specially rigged/jigged the tools for making instruments.
Deine Girarren sind ne Design-Meisterleistung. Ich finde Du hast das Rad neu erfunden. Neben Deinen Instrumenten sehen handelsübliche Gitarren aus wie Banjos mit Bierflecken
Awesome build. I love the way you've embraced the curves and made not only an instrument that looks beautiful, but also sounds great. Aside from the obvious organic look,I especially like the thumbrest (I need one to play myself) and the headstock. I must have missed the part when you inserted the truss rod, and also how you made the body. If I had any complaints, it would be the lack of explanation as you were doing stuff. Not a real complaint, just interested in your creative process, the materials that you use and why. Nonetheless, you've inspired me because you made something so unique, so beautiful, so practical, and yes, I want one of my own! Peace, love and luck to you
Thanks mate, it seems like you watched the whole thing :-D. Yes the trussrod part is missing for some reason. The main thing you should know is to add some wax in the channel so it doesn't rattle later on. The Body is made by my colleague Norbert in Austria. I might do another build video with a voiceover and explain stuff. cheers
thank you. Not only for beautiful instrument you made, but also for a lot off effort you put to capture, edit and uploaded your masterpiece. Great job.
Very impressive. I've done some rough carpentry in my time, and to watch your woodworking design and skills is definitely a treat. . . Not normal for me to blow an hour + on a youtube video, but your designs and techniques were a blast. No way I could ever do anything like that. . . Your prices aren't bad for the amount of work and love you put into these guys. . . I had a Carvin 5-string hollow body fretless acoustic/electric built in their pro shop 20 some years ago, it's a fine instrument. . . Unfortunately, you can't really hear it without amplification. Yours sounds great unamplified. . . I'd love to hear it with flat wounds, as the tomber and tone is more to my taste. . .
HEy, thanks for watching the whole thing! I will try to make the next one a little shorter :-) Also I am planning to make a bigger (maybe even fretless) CannaBASS. So stay tuned :) And if you haven't seen, here is anoter bass I made with pressurewound strings: ua-cam.com/video/6F_HiyuQGsU/v-deo.html
Good work. Suggestion - when bookmatching, sand the edgeds slightly concave so that when you clamp and glue there will be a bit of tension and rigidity, which will make for better conduction of sound plus greater strength. It also prevents surface distortion that can gradually appear over time.
Love the guitats of Canna ... i had the pleassure to play 2 of them and i was always totally suprised how amazing they Sound everytime i when i take one to Play.. This is a kind of art. And i Love it !
This is so amazing. To be entirely honest though even though this level of work is vastly beyond me the amount of faith he's put into that tiny amount of wood glue holding the bridge on terrifies me.
Also as an addition to this the fact that this is largely done with hand tools is really inspiring to me. Every Bass building tutorial I watch uses CNC routers and fancy inlay power tools. This build really let's people who don't have all that know that this level of quality is achievable by anyone with patience steady hands and a good eye.
@Elli Q I would also think that it's quite risky to use a bridge like that, but I have built no 40 guitars like that and never had a problem. And I made them much thinner sometimes... Although I like working by hand I might incorporate some CNC work in the future but for now it's not worth it and I am faster by hand.
@@cannaguitars4593 Thank you for the reply! I actually meant the neck. I have no idea why I said bridge. I'm so sorry. 40 guitars is really impressive though! Keep up the good work!
Stunning design and finish. So organic. I'm just shocked with the small contact surface between the neck and the body (it doesn't really butt up). But not stupid if it works! Almost seems to be floating and I hope it has decent sustain.
I can’t imagine how much an instrument like this would cost. Absolutely a work of art and love!!!!
2650 according to his website
@@jasonjayalapway better to pay that than to buy a Martin
That is a ridiculously beautiful instrument.
It is the most beautiful acoustic bass I've ever seen

One of the most beautiful and ergonomic and natural looking guitars i've ever seen.

I love that you built-in such an elegant thumb rest. Bravo Sir.
it's inspired by the Furch acoustic bass, except mine is floating :-)
@@cannaguitars4593 Really beautiful bass, you are an artist Sir. How long did it take you to build?
People like this aren’t made they’re born into this. It’s a passion and they have to love it in order to do this level of work. Amazing!
Aw a fellow luthier- yes, he has not only great building skills, but attention to detail is 20/20.
played guitar for a short time, never that good. That makes me want to try the bass and see if this old man can get back into it. Loved the whole process. Thank you for inspiration.
I can really recommend it. It's easy to get started and a lot of fun, even if you don't play perfectly.
When I first saw your canna-tar, I thought this would be a great idea for a transverse acoustic bass... months later I find this. Awesome!
Fretless would be amazing
yeah, I would love to make a fretless! I am thinking about making the 'missing link' between upright and bass guitar. Maybe use the traditional finish and a traditional bridge system. So many things I want to do at this point :-)
Im a luthier myself and I have to say your work is inspiring
Thanks Pat, glad to hear that :-)
Truly one of the most satisfying and tactile builds seen , thank you for letting us into your vision of beauty , even if one can't play , just the feeling of cradling that guitar ,and yes definitely on anyone's wish list be it musician of collector of art.
wow, thank you so much! Really glad it is being received so well. Full guitar build coming up soon!
That Bass is beautiful. I want one.
I just took a peek at your website...Very nice! Pricing is down right reasonable given all that hand work too. Just amazing!
glad you find them reasonable! A lot of people have no idea what a bespoke Instrument costs. I think I am on the cheaper side still.
I love your guitars and as a Bass player, I just added this bass to my bucket list.
me too!
I can barely make a cutting board in 1:30, and you made a whole guitar.
Props!! Excellent work!
Best sounding acoustic bass on history and amazingly beautiful. Nice job dud.

Hello Canna Guitars, when i saw your work, i remenber from Mr Kim Gracio who rebuilt my violin in the year off 1976 in Portugal.
Beautiful instrument, Jakob. You are a true artist and craftsman.
Thank you, my friend!
Brilliant! No amp needed and yet it sounds fantastic. I also love the design. Congratulations, excellent job!
Thanks, that's my goal. To make a real acoustic base with better ergonomics and good acoustic sound :-)
Grande artigiano, grande e bellissimo basso. Un pezzo d'arte da mettere in un museo.
eine Stunde und zwölf Minuten und keine davon war langweilig. Schönes Video, Vielen Dank dafür.
Freut mich, dass du das ganze Video gesehen hast; Ich könnte das nicht! 😀 Scherz beiseite. Echt schwer alle Schritte in ein Video zu packen das unter einer Stunde lang ist.
As a builder I must say, excellent work, beautiful design, gorgeous guitar
great to hear that from a fellow craftsman!
Great playing, great work, and glad to see a luthier shop on UA-cam not in pristine condition. Kudos.
sometimes you need to get some work done a clean up later :D
That was one of the most cathartic and beautiful things I've ever watched. It is incredible what just a man, some wood, and 100 grand (give it take whatever I don't know) worth of tools and jigs and clamps. Oh my.
Seriously incredible!!!
Thanks, but my tools are maybe worth 10 grand tops ... You don't need expensive tools to get started. Just some patience and a little skill 🙂
@@cannaguitars4593 amazing work!!

Класс. Отличный результат. Красивая бас гитара получилась. Как будто на ветке, на дереве в лесу, выросла.
Hard work always pays off 🤘🏽 good job pro
This is the type of a build that should win the Great guitat build off. Fancy looking, unique and tasteful(!)😁
Amazing, that is a true work of art!
Beautiful workmanship, couldn’t stop watching until the end

On all aspects a musical jewel this Guy IS a genious but one of a kind deep respect and greatings from France
I love that box that clamps everything together. It seems to do multiple tasks. I love how you've specially rigged/jigged the tools for making instruments.
yeah; it's a multi purose jig. Always have to make a ton of jigs for my builds.
Genial, mit Knüpperzange die Saiten gekürzt. Sehr gute Arbeit und sieht auch sehr exquisit aus .
Danke, danke. Infos gibt's auf meiner Webseite: cannaguitars.com/de/cannabass-de/
What a beautiful instrument! Bravo!
absolutely gorgeous design
Absolutely mesmerised. I couldn't drag my eyes from my monitor. BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks Ivan :-)
That tone is somehow more beautiful than the asthetics. Great job!

Beautifully done all the way around
Beautiful, innovative, creative,other worldly as if made by alien technology...
what a elegant design
That thumb rest is super cool!
This is by far one of the most interesting build processes I have ever watched. Had to watch it in stages, but it was great.
Great to hear someone has the patience these days to watch a 1hr+ video. Glad you liked it :)
@@cannaguitars4593 i am equally interested in that drum sander you're using. Is that self made? If so, I'd love to see a breakdown of how

One of the most satisfying vids I've ever watched. Excellent.
glad to hear that, always trying to get better at making these!
it's so beautiful, i've been watching this for 5 hours now
you watched it 4 1/2 times? great, keep going ;-)
Is it on pauze?
I love the neck. Excellent work there, for sure!
Beautifully done!

Thanks John, I will try that out. I noticed that the other way around is very bad, so this makes perfect sense!
Absolute pleasure to watch you work.
Thanks you sir!
