There is now a bass shaped hole in my floor
;-)
That sounds pretty great for how simple its parts are.
+SpectacularName Thanks :)
Difference between hand made and machine made
You are multi talented! You can build and play an instrument. The finish came out really nice! Take care, Brett
+GreenArrows0705 Thank you Brett :)
Really great work my friend!
+Make it Extreme Thank you :)
The body color matched the neck finish very well. Kudos.
It really sounded nice!
Looks beautiful.
Yay! Nice guitar, and nice finish as well!
Beautiful work, Fabian!
+Braxton Wirthlin Thank you :)
I once built a guitar using similar methods and I have to say you make that scroll saw look easy. I had a heck of a time getting the lines cut out just right.
Excellent. The finish on the body is very good and matches the headstock well.
+Will Ford Thanks :)
I love how that wood darkened up after french polishing. You did a great job on that bass and didn't spend a ton of money...... Great !
this is one of the best home guitar/bass builds ive seen. turned out pretty good! for simple and cheap parts it sounds great, and looks nice too. thumbs up!
+bob bobbio thanks a lot :)
Very cool. Good job!
This is a very good example of making a good fun instrument at the same time it turning out to be a professional sound. Thanks.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Your vid really helped me out with my build, Thanks man✌
Wow! That shine looks a foot deep! Great project, thanks for sharing it with us.
+Dave Lee Thank you :)
Excellent ....... Pure craftmanship 😊
Yet again, was fun to to watch! :)
+Thom Poz Thanks :)

+BarryWorst Thank you :-)
Very very nice. I really like your project and the video. The music, all of it, was great.
+stephen dickinson Thank you :)
Looks awesome, I like the shellac finish, I like the fact that you used a Hofner style design! I must make a bass someday! Sounds really cool too!
+Scrap wood City Thank you very much :)
I really loved how your bass guitar came out. Great job Fabian!!!
+Saw Dust Maker Thank you :-)
That was very clever. I like it the way it is.
I am happy to hear that you like it!
Very nice craftsmanship.
Thank you
Fantastic, thanks..fun to watch
That sounds amazing! Looks great too!
Appreciate you checking it out :)
Excellent work. Inspiring.
Thank you!
Great project! I like how you show us how do do this. Very clear and understandable. Good editing, too. Please keep up the good work! It may just inspire me to do a Hofner look-alike.
Great job, inspiring me to create my own bass!
I like how simple it is and it still has a nice design that required zero effort to do. That shape is also really cool and out of the ordinary. Nice job
Thanks a lot :)
Yes, you too can build or restore a cool bass. My Hofner (pictured) was a pile of junk left in a storage and given to me for nothing. I restored it to it's former glory and it sounds great. Love those Hofners!
Cool job that polished Poplar fooled me and turned out great. At first I thought man he is going to be sorry. This is the first time I think, that I have ever seen one of your videos and I learned something. That's great. Thanks for sharing.
+Frank Ingram Many thanks! I'm glad you like it :)

That is a cool looking guitar. I really like what you did with the glue-up face. I took a class on making classical guitars last year and I enjoyed the parts to make the neck and frets the most.

Excellent, looks great...!
Cheers...

+Make Something Thank you :)
Great video!
+William Kjellgren Thank you
Great job building that bass guitar!! Looks similar to Paul McCartney's Hofner violin bass guitar. 😉👍👍
Very cool bass. I love the hofner shape with the solid body.. I wish I had this cause I don't feel like building one,
Nice work..
+Kirby Nils Thank you :)
Love it!
+will ro Thanks :-)
I love that you used shellac. Very nice job. The only thing I would have done differently is place the pickup at the neck or halfway between the bridge and neck. I have a Wishbass that came with only one pickup at the bridge position and I ended up adding a neck pickup because there was not enough bass. :)
great stuff,,,,,,,,thank you.
the pickup is fine, it sounds great!
:)
Fabian's Tiny Workshop however if you had put the pickup in the neck position it would have an ever beefier, more contrabass-like Sound! But great work anyways! :)
Very nice man, I can appreciate the time in the french polish, its a lost art, I've shot with Nitro, because it was more forgiving and I was fairly inexperienced. Good job on it!
+Reverend D Thank you! I appreciate that a lot!!
Thats awesome!
+ElMaty ツ Cheers! Glad you like it!
Fabian's Tiny Workshop :D
The true french polish, magnifique!
Thank you!
Mmmmmm... Tasty! Nice build! I do likes that French polish. It's a lot of work, but it pays off in the end.
+Mark Lindsay Thank you :)
Very good my friend.
+Igor Brandão Thank you :)
Nice 👍
I like the Billy Bo-style guitar in the beginning.
+Blake Hahn cheers! glad you like it!
Oh my gosh I want something like that!
:-)
that is awesome
+Nicky Vaughan Thank you :)
fab (4) - love it!
Thank you
Sweet work, sounds great too. A bass in on my looooong to do list. I slap around a '72 Fender Jazz Bass, but want to build my own.
+Barrett Hageman Thank you :) A 72 Jass Bass is a fine instrument :)
Great job. :)
Thank you!
That was cool
+David Dale Thank you so much :)
Woow good job :D
+Latek thanks :)
nice job, Cheers
+Paul Dove Thank you
Love this project! A violin bass with a fender bridge... cool. And it looks great too. Only thing I would have done different, is put the single pickup closer to the neck (not the bridge). But I guess that's a personal tone thing. 👍
Nice job! Personally I would've rounded off the edges with the router. Obviously that's just my preference but really nice work.
greaaat job!! I+like+it!!
+DANIEL CANTU CERVANTES Thank you :)
