Building a Bass Out of 2000 Colored Pencils

[@rileydaily5426]

Honestly a guitar/radio with a flick of a switch is genius.

[@IndigoBassNotes]

You would like my SPACE Bass .

[@foncess]

I really want to hear someone play a bass with that radio effect

He should of just left it like that. It would been the best radio ever! 🎸+ 📻 = 👍

It's been an awesome journey over the years watching you perfect your building techniques and learn as you go. Super inspiring stuff.

I’m not a bassist, but that bass is beautiful! And the Tele is beyond words. Great builds!

Hell of a build, and glad to see a five stringer! Glad you show the time that goes into such a build, shows why it's worth its price tag.

[@mattving61]

[@Dredgen1214]

I bet he'll still get people complaining about it unfortunately

[@JazzbLu]

Plus just the art of the guitars themselves is way worth the price! He's almost asking too little.

[@SonyaBladesBooty]

5 string is superfluous

[@Dredgen1214]

@@SonyaBladesBooty eh thats debatable, you get a wider range of sound from it, probably more useful in some genres over others

"I am going to call it a bass for here on out" proceeds to never call it a bass and puts guitar in video title. Love it lol

[@HowieRaps]

He changed the title 😂

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

I own a bass, as well as bass guitars. My bass has gut strings on it, they won't work on a bass guitar. If your bass is of a guitar design it is a bass guitar. Some people just amaze me that they know how to breathe with out being reminded. Beautiful work as usual, I told a friend about the coffee guitar from years past and he didn't believe me. I had to force him to watch!

[@lavilish]

I love how you come up with cool new patterns for your colored pencil builds that makes them so interesting to watch and see how you improved!

[@00TheRealTC]

Honestly, I've run out of superlatives for your builds. It's always such a treat to watch all of them go from concept to final product to the sweet, sweet demos at the conclusion. Thank you for sharing these with us, and I look forward to more in 2024 and beyond.

[@tombrackettjr.9308]

Once again very cool. Your creativity is inspiring. And I am very jealous of your guitar playing for such a young man.

[@phreddcatt]

I think this is my favorite guitar build you've done. Awesome job!

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

Always glad to see a new Burls Art vid!

[@briancherry8088]

Just gorgeous. So happy you finally did a bass. I think most of us would kill for a bass that unique. Thanks for putting the time-stamp. I've always wondered how long it took.

[@MEGAMIGA]

Another great instrument! It is always a pleasure to see a new video from you 😃

[@Christopher_Wheeler]

Heyo! Excited to see this build! Edit: just finished the vid. What a beautiful bass, dude!

[@Crimbopachyderm]

Your videos are really inspiring. I've always wanted to get into building my own guitars and basses and watching you makes me feel like I have the power to get there. Always look forward to seeing your next build.

[@tinystar3010]

That tele at the end was pretty! It looked like bright stars or fireflies in an evening sky above a darkened city skyline! Also, loved the little details you did on this bass like the penil end dot inlays, the just minor flavor touch of pencil on the headstock tip, solid touches. That tele though.... it resonated with me.

[@jonherdman6282]

It’s for sale on his site.

[@sureshot311]

This was a journey I didn't know I wanted to go on. But I'm glad I did. Incredible work. Thank you for creating and sharing.

[@sapelesteve]

Yet another terrific guitar build & that Bass plays & sounds great! Happy Holidays to you & your family! 🎸🎸🌲🌲

[@GoingtoHecq]

I love the monster noise the radio "preamp" made when you turned it on. I think the head design is great and the base is amazing.

[@DoctorBollocks]

That neck looks really nice. The shape looks nice, the wood is beautiful but the pencils on the headstock make it instantly recognisable. Great work.

[@OldStreetDoc]

You continue to amaze me, sir. Truly. Watching your first build with colored pencils I never would have thought that I’d like the potential result. And in builds by others maybe I wouldn’t have. But your’s are always really interesting. I like that you were less linear this time & used the ‘lines’ in different layouts. Again… you continue to amaze. Well done! 👍🏼 I’m certain there’s an understanding to be had here that I’m clearly missing… but the effectiveness of the ‘antenna’ that was inadvertently made is only more amazing that it is down to a simple grounding error. That’s always boggled my mind. Primarily because having grown up in the age of ‘rabbit ear’ antennas rather than digital cabling, even in the most perfect of conditions, we never had the reception clarity that this bass produced. Not even once. LOL

[@jimcoppa6946]

You are truly a master luthier guitar Builder I really enjoy your videos thank you I wish you would show more I know you only have enough time to do as many as you can but I really enjoy them thank you good luck and God bless

[@rileydaily5426]

I have no idea how to play guitar but I want to buy one of your works so in 20 years I can say I have an original burls art guitar and I have been subscribed since the first colored pencil.

[@sahamal_savu]

You should buy a Squier and learn to play, then one day you can own a genuine Burl's Art piece and make it sing too 😉

[@DrDaveSalisburyPhDMBA]

The color pencil builds remain my absolute favorite builds! Thank You!

[@jasmyn1975]

i don’t play guitar or anything but i’ve been subscribed for years now and you make my absolute favorite videos on youtube i love your demos and the way you explain the building process

[@kimeny_slice]

Come for the guitar builds, stay for the demos at the end! New subscriber from Australia here - absolutely in awe of your talents as a craftsman and a musician!

[@swanofnutella4734]

Gorgeous work. I love the little extra touches like the colored pencil inlay going the other way. I'm not super into the shape, but appreciate how the shape plays into the theme too. Wonderful all around.

[@francobuzzetti9424]

[@jjfloyd618]

Amazing, I love all your builds but this one is definitely my favorite and your methodology’s have gone uber next level. I would absolutely buy it if I could but I really hope it winds up gracing many a stage by a talented musician for many to appreciate.

So... I don't know anything about guitars, so that was new to me. But the craftsmanship and detail, plus the video itself with great angles and narration, is all excellent. Thank you.

[@cradd00]

Nice job! I play and build guitars too. Thanks for sharing some of your techniques! The inserts and bolts along with the aluminum bushings in the neck pocket looks like a great idea! So does the hardwood dowels for bridge mounting. I may try these in my next build. The guitar looks killer!

[@EmPapineau]

Tbh the neck stole the show for me. That flame maple looks incredible and the headstock design is perfect. I’m amazed by the quality of your work every time.

I once had a Boss Distortion pedal (back in the 90s) that could pick up Japanese radio. When you mix that with a flanger, it comes out crazy. Awesome job

[@HumanScourgeYT]

This was truly awesome man. I think my favorite of yours so far. I love the pencils in the headstock! I always wanted to be a luthier. I want to build one someday myself!

[@keithbond9423]

just do it! I've wanted to build a guitar for years but for whatever reason never did. Several months ago I was talking with a friend of mine about those things that we've wanted to do, but always seem to just put them off and not do them. So we challenged each other to choose one of those projects and actually do it. We are checking in with each other once a month with a kind of show and tell. That gave me the accountability to actually begin my guitar build. I'm loving it. So glad I finally started. But as a noob, I'm taking it slow.

[@NFS305]

I don’t have 6,000 and I want to buy this! Artttt and music. Great job!

[@madmonty4761]

I never get bored of these videos. You make some beautiful guitars

[@ScottPC]

[@Saucy2112]

Really awesome to see how far you've come doing these builds. Amazing work as always! 👍

[@reNINTENDO]

Figured 100 bucks an hour for the price of the guitar felt reasonable to offset materials and other related costs, as well as obviously to properly compensate the work and craftsmanship that goes into this. Needless to say the price on your site feels very reasonable. Not shocking that pretty much everything has been sold. You have no idea how tempting that tele is...

[@robd6580]

I don’t play guitar, am not musical in the slightest… but you sir make a damn good video, and good woodworking as well! I didn’t realize I was ten minutes into this video and all of a sudden I was struck with the thought “wow, this is a great video” especially the fact that you can get lost in the video ten mins in without even checking how much is left, or flipping to the next video. Well done sir! Well done!

[@PrinceJethroIV]

I've been watching your videos for years now. And I think it is about time you make an epoxy preserved big Mac guitar. Doesn't have to be big Mac, it could also be mcnuggets or McChicken. I'll let you decide which one you should choose but I think you should do it. It would be your craziest video yet. You've made guitars out of colored pencils, paper, and coins, why not big macs. Thank you
