I've been a bass player nearly 35 years now (and musician over 40 years), and this axe that you built is a work of art. I'm glad it's being played and not just hung on some wall as an "oooh ahhh" piece.

[@moriyokiri3229]

I've been a vegan crossfitter for 80 years and this is a good bass guitar.

[@gtagrinderguides4220]

I'm not a musician, but I appreciate quality workmanship. Fascinating process and great documentation of it. I hope the customer appreciates the effort and planning that went into it.

[@calleandersson1394]

Beautiful bass guitar! I love when you can see the wood under the paint.

[@peterstephen1562]

I am an old master maker that wishes I had the courage to make such radical gorgeous designs. I feel for you struggling with hobby tools and would love to introduce you to the virtues of spokeshave , plane and scraper but lovely work all the same.

[@rkay9071]

Those LED fret markers are a really good idea for when you're playing live and the lights are low. I know I sure could have used them on a number of occasions. COOL! Nice job man!

[@Tigeroovy]

Pretty sick looking bass! Love the black and blue colouring!

[@chadbuckingham6771]

Flipping fantastic work sir ! Amazing documentation of the process as well. Top notch !

[@aundesignSWE]

Love the design on this thing! Very unique! ❤

[@kingcole7927]

That’s a crazy bass. I love the unique design!

[@spencersguitarcovers]

This thing is crazy. Great job on recording the process!

[@NateSmith87]

This is the sickest bass guitar I've ever seen.

[@x2net]

Luthiering skills lvl 999, soldering skills: don't talk about that. Back in the days I used copper tape to insulate the electronics cavity and the pickup well. All soldered together to prevent any unwanted noise. Too bad I can solder pretty good, but I'm not a good luthier :D

[@robertkroberjr.157]

I can imagine Cliff Burton playing that! 🤘😎🤘

[@menedon9599]

Wow ... what a beauty. Excellent job !!

[@michaelb.42112]

I love your design for attaching the wings. It looks so nice, and neat plus creates tons of sustain. It's like a set neck design for wings. Wow, your design for the switches is ingenious. I love the LED's, too. I have them in my bass and it makes it so much easier to play on stage when I can clearly see the fret markers.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

What a stunning guitar. Very well done.

[@EvilBlakey]

Absolutely beautiful. Stained ash is my favourite finish. When you applied the black, I was like "hell yeah!". When you applied the blue I was like "noooo! What are you doing!?". When I saw the finished product I was like "you crazy son of a bitch, you did it.". Amazing build!

[@AllanGildea]

Beautiful! Congratulations.

[@firedog9113]

One badass bass, love how it looks.

[@Grim_666-]

Looks sick and sounds sick too. Great job

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Wow! Killer build. Sounds awesome! 🤘

[@NIJHR]

awesome craftsmanship, great to watch

[@obgatson1275]

That baritone is brilliant man,sounds incredible❤❤❤

[@johnskerlec9663]

Another awesome design. Love the texture and 3D look. Excellent.

[@andrewmundenandcadfellmast4624]

Very cool build 😊👍🏼

[@MrKrazyKap]

this build is full of bold choices and i admire it

[@vitekplinka5490]

Cool!

[@evanyaboi108]

Only design flaw id say would be any issues with access to the LEDs. But this is an immaculate instrument and a work of art. Love it.

[@Mephisto_NichroM_773]

Tremenda bestia parda con sonido diabolico 🔥🔥🔥 ! mi enhorabuena !

[@oysteivi]

That's badass!

[@lumpygasinavacuum8449]

This bass is awesome and beautiful good work.

[@nivescico6618]

True art! Never stop working on your instruments! :D I love the design and the lights! And the colour is just great!

[@JaFoste_Studio]

Wow, that is awesome!

[@sevens7ring]

Great job! Such a nice bass

[@soulreaver2727]

Oh my God bro this guitar is so freaking awesome. I love the way it looks.

[@GunsandGuitars]

Very cool and creative build! Nicely done

[@FlameInstruments]

Thanks bro!

[@808zhu]

Very cool. Nice work.

[@DE-GEN-ART]

ive never seen a through neck done like that, thats pretty cool

[@autechrr]

Beautiful instrument!

[@bluecollarbuddha948]

Ohhhh...the controls hidden in the back! I love that!

[@WarrenlaidlerExp]

Amazing work!

[@rabbidjeremy9193]

I love it, any one would be proud to have that as their "Axe".

[@WDeeGee1]

Great design!

[@GrouchoTM]

Very impressive!

[@baphodeath]

Insane!!!

[@ShapeNoise]

I’d totally rock this 🤘very nice craftsmanship 💎

[@-processdrone-]

beautiful design and implementation, also love the way you can clearly hear the brightness of a maple fretboard but it doesn't look like one.

[@MisterAndy666]

Insane bro! 🤘

[@mrblue8439]

That's so cool man I want that bass now !! Good work

[@allenmcdaniel1470]

I LOVE YOUR CONTROL CAVITIES!

[@martynbooth6775]

beautiful design, well done and enjoy ur make a rock guitar.

[@aldito7586]

There are skills and there are skills. Who wouldn't be proud to jam on that???

[@mdf2130]

You earned my Sub! looking forward to see all of your amazing craft. Keep it up!

[@pglavalle]

Great job. One thing I noticed that many folks do, is tighten clamps so tight, they bend - noticed during the glue up of the body.

[@thewdshck]

Never seen a thru neck like this good job bud I'm impressed definitely earned my sub with that level of engineering

[@MindFury]

that's a very nice. Sounds mean too..

[@leandroh.sanchezg.499]

Nice finish 🤯🤤

[@alphamichi_1614]

You really deserve way more subs and views 😊

[@MikoDarkblade]

After watching Bill and Ted, I always thought that if I ever made a band I would have a custom BASS that would look like a Scythe and I would be disguise as DEATH lol

[@timothyoo7]

Absolutely beautiful! All the way down to the finish.

[@FlameInstruments]

Thank you sir!

[@user-lx4kc9bz6o]

Sick bass!! 🔥✌️🎱🃏

[@satyrulak]

What a monster❤

[@user-qg2lr8qg7i]

AMAZING WORK😱😱😱💪👍

[@AWM8]

Wow, Awesome bass. I almost want one right now! Greetings!

[@FlameInstruments]

Thanks bro!

[@LPfan012]

What a beast, love it! Earned a sub for sure

[@FlameInstruments]

Thanks bro!

[@MikeLtm32]

My dream is to build a custom guitar myself. Thank you, good Sir, this is inspiring! Cheers from Poland!!! 🍻

[@FlameInstruments]

Go for it! Brace yourself with patience for sure:) thanks and cheers from Czechia!

[@javiercojoba]

One can only dream! I want mine just like that but in red! 👍

[@John-zi4ii]

Awesome build ,! I just thought that if a shine was applied to the body it would have really made the wood grain pop with a beautiful sheen and glow like the tiger eye gem stone , but every one's love is different, still an amazing bass !, the lights in the neck are top notch ! ,the string attachments are really different and so cool ! , outstanding build video !😊 I really wish that folks would not call it a bass guitar !, It's just a bass ! Lol 😊

[@user-wr4bl4gy8t]

Мужик, ты реально хорош👍

[@josemariapereira9865]

beautiful

[@mlmusictech7386]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ good work

[@timothypotter2137]

WOW!

[@tomassylt]

wunderfull work

[@ekhymosis98]

que locura de bajo felicidades

[@TheMetalMag]

great job

[@jotork3774]

Sounds wonderful

[@Dtorre777]

I can't figure out how you don't have a million subs...

[@JauneVingtCinq]

I have become somewhat blasé over and with the many hundreds of 'from scratch' creations on KZbin...However, this sir, is a well presented video detailing the birth of a very beautiful and original creation. Kept me interested throughout the video. Enjoyed the somewhat 'bullish' approach to the project too! Bravo you sir!

[@eliotartigue6705]

Very nice. The tone is quite bright though.

[@dominiquedradin340]

Nom de dieu mon gars ! Voilà une basse qui dégage fort. Je n'ai jamais vraiment aimé les corps différents. J'en reviens toujours au fender. Mais là, c'est un désign très fort qui tue au premier regard, et pourtant ça reste dans les tripes car c'est réellement une ligne bio. La vie. C'est pas méchant, c'est pas sympa, c'est la vie avec ses piquants. Grande idée et bon travail. Si je jouais encore, je la voudrais près de moi. En Belgique. 🤪

[@rottanwelding]

Picasso of the BAD ASS BASS !!!

[@georgevillanueva6926]

U make me want to go to Michaels n buy so much wood an store it up for nothing 😂great work man takes a lot to actually produce good stuff so hats off

[@Roylevis]

Hot stuff!

[@marcosgonzalez4697]

Beautiful bass!!! Greetings from Argentina!!!

[@FlameInstruments]

Thanks from Czechia man!

[@baplotnik]

I swear to god man, you make some of the coolest guitars out there, nobody is capping edit: please try a glow in the dark guitar, there is no reason or incentive, except that it's awesome and it looks like a caustic substance that should not be near humans, like the alien piss they keep in the yellow barrels fkd up a guitar and turned it wild

[@blackout300z]

Enfin une basse qui a de la gueule 🤘😎

[@user-nj6qq6zu9e]

solid weapon

[@hadifelani]

Although I don't quite fancy the volume knob and the switch being on the backside of the body, it is still a good design indeed.

[@EEZYZEEY]

Отличная работа

[@Zonakita91]

Good video always succes for you

[@dizleran9276]

thats beautiful . make me one .

[@FrankCalahan-rc8kj]

That's a sexy ass guitar! Great job, you're unbelievable. It's so much harder to do than you made it look like🤟👍

[@MG-vo7is]

Nice.

[@stopseldergroe974]

Are the subtitles the fucking typeset from Skyrim?!?

[@FlameInstruments]

Just a coincidence!

[@willfultrain6779]

Hey you, your finally awake

[@Hotel52]

John Entwhistle would love it

[@larswright1015]

Thank You!

[@aftertheendtimes]

Excellent work I've seen the video several times and are amazed by it ❤️🎸🙏👍👍

[@FlameInstruments]

This one was sold for 1350 USD

[@aftertheendtimes]

@@FlameInstruments very good price for such exclusive build, very nice,..🎸❤cheers

[@electronicengineer]

Considering all of the work and the obvious love that you put into creating this masterpiece, I feel as though you are giving your musical pieces of art away (confession: I honestly have no idea how much this bass guitar would cost, if sold at retail price, in a music store) for the price you listed! You really have some Serious woodworking skills sir. What a beautiful result you achieved in this bass guitar design and build! It honestly is Beautiful ! ! ! Thank You for sharing with all of us. Fred

[@darknessonights]

Nice build man. That's an awesome design with a sweet unique element in the led fret markers. I do have one question though on the head stock you put the string locks under the thin piece of wood and then glued it in, wont string tension be an issue? i know the glue is stronger than the wood but it seems like it potentially could be a weak spot for delamination or am i just missing something?

[@polnoeceloe]

The manufacturing process is more interesting than the result, this is what you always encounter when watching such videos. The mind is more perfect than the gross matter, the concept in the mind is always better than what you receive in the gross physical form consisting of chemical elements

[@Astonmartin2505]

Franchement, ta basse est une œuvre d art, tout est magnifique, les micros, les mécaniques, la forme, la couleur, tout est parfait et top, j adore ! Tu as des mains et une imagination de génie
