How to mark multi scale fan frets | Bass build part 4

In this video I show you how to mark off a multi scale (or fan fret) fretboard. I actually think these are easier to mark off than standard frets!
I also show how to radius a fretboard with a hand plane, instead of a sanding block. Using a plane is much quicker than sanding and also allows us to create a compound radius, where we have a different curve at the nut than we do at the heel.
This is not my entry into this years Great Guitar Build Off 2022, that will happen after this custom build is finished!

By far the best video on lay out about multiscale

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Glad I could help 👍

[@goliardguitars425]

I agree with you, multiscale fretting seems easier than parallel fretting when you don't have a pull saw !

[@KingBespokeCreations]

👍

[@saulgoodeguitars]

Always look forward to your videos, can’t wait to see this fella finished

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Cheers Corey 👍

[@TornelliGuitars]

That moment of dread! For every build, there’s one of those moments. Nice work Chris 👍

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Haha! Every time 🤦‍♂️

[@rauschguitars]

Perfect timing! I need to cut the slots on my multi scale build next, always good to have a refresher before doing the work.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Great minds….

[@jurgenzoller4407]

You break things down in to little steps so we'll Chris... Great video

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thank you. Hope it helps 👍

[@jurgenzoller4407]

@@KingBespokeCreations learning everyday from all of the community! Isn't great!

[@luthiferbuilds]

This is the best multi scale layout video on KZbin, also best plane radius demo as well…. Also I love the overheard camera angle aswell!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Ah thanks for that Brett!

[@billsutherland2128]

This is by far the best Luthier series on the internet! Thank you for your tutelage, sir.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

I’m honoured! Thanks for watching, lots more coming soon 👍

[@afterlifeguitars]

Awesome stuff. Will catch up on Emma's account later.

[@rayrayokmusic]

Damn chris, that was really very impressive! You have really stepped up your game. This was great instruction as well!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thanks Ray 👍

[@afterlifeguitars]

Cool stuff 😎🤘 just watched both videos. I really love watching your guitar building videos. I always learn something

[@KingBespokeCreations]

That’s the plan! Thanks bud 👍

[@stevepethel6843]

Thanks for a fantastic explanation and way to mark 2 separate scale lengths for fan fret layout.Thanking God the father Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit for your video gift. Great ideas techniques and audio and video recording of your production mini show.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Bless you, thanks for watching 👍

[@afterlifeguitars]

Prefer to watch quality KZbin videos on the 55 inch screen. Yes your in that category Chris 🙂. I watch your videos on the big TV 🤘 How do now Sharpen your tools!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

So I’m honoured! I use the ‘scary sharp system’ and two videos. One for flat blades and one for carving chisels 👍

[@afterlifeguitars]

@@KingBespokeCreations Nice 👍 Do you use an expensive phone camera may I ask? Your picture and sound is always spot on

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@afterlifeguitars most of my video were on an iPhone X, recently upgraded to a 13pro. I use a plug in lapel mic for sound.

[@afterlifeguitars]

@@KingBespokeCreations Ok I get ya so fairly expensive phone. Robb (my brother) said I needed to upgrade my phone. I don't trust myself with them tho. I'm always dropping them and smashing the screens 🤣 Only had this one for two weeks and guess what happened in the workshop last week? ............So never balance your phone on a piece of ply on a piece of ply on a workbench and then remove bottom piece of ply. 🤣

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@afterlifeguitars all the overhead shots were done with the iPhone X. I kept it for just this type of stuff

[@timbeaton5045]

I was thinking of getting a square section aluminium tube, and creating a 34/35/36/37 inch fret ruler on each face. That way I will have the settings for any bass I'm likely to build. What do you think?

[@timbeaton5045]

PS really enjoying this series!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Sounds like a plan. It would need to have very squared edges, so there would be no gap between the ruler and board. Better accuracy.

[@malcolmgray1227]

Did you sand it after you planted it? If not that's pretty good going on the plane to get rid of any flat part.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

No sanding at all

[@malcolmgray1227]

Nicely done.

[@FrugalFixerSpike]

Themn you found your mistake, from last one. At least it was not serious

[@KingBespokeCreations]

I did mess myself though! 😂

[@rollonsummertime]

Hi, I guess this is a stupid question, but what is the reason for a multi scale bass/guitar🤔

[@KingBespokeCreations]

There are many reasons some people like them. A lot will say the different string lengths will tune better, thicker strings want to be longer. Others really like the ergonomics of playing one, less wrist twisting. Others just think they look cool!

[@rollonsummertime]

@@KingBespokeCreations I agree they look really good but i'll stick to the easy way,🤣 thanks again,,,

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

But you didn't tell us what size the massive plane is. 🤷‍♂️😉

[@KingBespokeCreations]

It’s a No.7. But you could with a No.4 if that’s all you have.

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

Thanks @@KingBespokeCreations! I do have a #7, she's a beast! 😎

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@BadAppleWoodwerx my favourite tool of all of them!
