All it Takes to Make a Damas Bass - Full Build & Sound Demo

[@BaradaGuitars]

I worked on this Original Barada Guitars Damas Bass design diligently for two months, and building the Bass took around three months. I recorded over 146 hours of videos during the making of this guitar, and I condensed 1,360 videos into one video with a duration of less than an hour. I hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to interact with the video by leaving a comment or even a like, supporting me to create more content. Thank you!

Unbelievable finish on that head stock and body ❤️❤️❤️

Chapeau! Tolle Handwerkskunst, vielen Dank für das Video...

[@AudioAtmos]

Oh my I thought for second we were not going to get to hear this incredible and beautiful piece of craftsmanship and art. Thanks for sharing your work and this musical instrument.👍👍👍

[@BaradaGuitars]

Many thanks, I’m glad that I’m able to create something you guys see it as a piece of art! Thanks for your time

[@visog]

Bass building ASMR. Sounds killer!

[@LucaRossoDeVita]

great building abd sound

[@johnterpack3940]

Gorgeous.

[@mitchellmccall377]

Watched the whole thing. You have an amazing set of tools. I wanna be more like this guy

[@BaradaGuitars]

Thanks I’m glad to hear that! In fact if you watch older guitar builds on my channel, you will notice that I didn’t even has a bandsaw or any fancy tools at all. Thanks for your time

Love it! I wish I had a cnc 😭

[@Stefandejager01]

Absolutely brilliant ... you sir, are a true artist.

Nunca había visto un trabajo tan limpio tan hermoso

[@mathieu_davy]

Beautiful result, thanks for sharing the process! What is that hand drill with a screen, does it know how deep it's drilling?

[@BaradaGuitars]

The drill is from Hoto designs, it’s just for controlling the exact power of the drill. Many thanks

[@mathieu_davy]

Ohh, I see! I thought it was some kind of intelligent drill with sensors. That would be cool! Thanks@@BaradaGuitars !

[@stealingtomorrowband]

What did you use for the inlays? Was it some kind of liquid plastic or something.

[@13mortcinder]

Hat's off to you my friend. Tell me what scale is it?

[@nikoivan2580]

Lol bro taking out some carbide cutters to mill the wood, it must be seriously hard xD

[@BaradaGuitars]

Ebony and Maple are no Joke, it’s a must! Many thanks for watching!

[@nikoivan2580]

@@BaradaGuitars thx for the info. I'm a CNC machinist and work with all kinds of metal alloys, but have no experience or knowledge about processing wood... I just had to laugh as I saw you mounting the carbide tool on to the spindle without knowing the wood could be so difficult to cut xD Bass is looking real hot btw Challenge for you: make a Bass with a floating bridge, like a Floyd Rose bridge. XD never seen a Bass with that kind of bridge, gonna be a meme in the bass/guitar community

Just curious. You used epoxy for the neck lamination, but wood glue for the fingerboard. Why is that?

[@BaradaGuitars]

Short answer the neck lamination has “Veneer” unlike the finger board that has over 3mm ebony and the same flam maple, so it’s not veneer anymore, this means no need for epoxy. Many thanks

[@MixingGBP]

So the wood glue could make the veneers warp or absorb the moisture in the glue or something?

[@BaradaGuitars]

@@MixingGBP that’s one of the reasons, but not all of them, the neck structure should be as strong as you can, and epoxy for glowing veneer is stronger than wood glue.

[@pedrocarranza7471]

buenas tardes cuanto sale un bajo de sos amigo

[@ramonzeira]

Why dont you just leave the tape over thw truss rod? To protect it form glue and gunk?

[@BaradaGuitars]

Sorry, but is this a real question? I’m just asking to know how to answer. Many thanks for watching

[@ramonzeira]

@@BaradaGuitars It is.

[@BaradaGuitars]

@@ramonzeira the tape has a thickness in it and it doesn’t matter how thin it is, it’s adding thickness anyway, this means your fretboard will not set flat on your neck, for me I don’t allow any tolerances when it comes to Flattening the neck or the fretboard. The second point, even that the clamps will clamp that fretboard down, but the thickness of the tape will add unnecessary under pressure to the bottom of the fretboard continuously. The tape has one job, which ich avoiding adding glue to the Trussrod channel and that’s it.

[@MixingGBP]

Some makers actually do leave the tape over the truss rod, but they will cut the tape edges very close to the truss rod channel. It really depends on the luthier. Apparently it can work both with and without tape depending on one’s beliefs on this topic.
