terrific series of vids on two kicks basses

[@arayapokey]

Love the series!

Very nice Bass builds Tim! Good luck with the sales & I am certain that they will sell quickly! 🎸🎸👍👍

I put EMG active pickups into my G&L tele. I like them! The only hassle is in my particular guitar the tele kit was not quite a perfect drop in, the neck P/U was a little tight. I made it fit but I could have adjusted the holes a little bit. It makes sound so for now I'm leaving it alone. 🙂

Very cool design and kit. I may have to go in on NPM kit #2. Personally, I like the au naturale look, but that's probably just me. Thanks for demystifying this process and making it look fun!

❤❤❤Great video and instructions. Cool tools. 😊😊😊

[@gregmadden5474]

I like the big knob little knob look great job on your design sweet!

First, thank you for sharing, the basses are beautiful, and because I'm new to the channel I didn't realize you made these tools too. I had been looking for what your center finder was since I first saw it in passing in another video. Well, now that I'm more educated you've got a Japan bound order now. I had been thinking about making a center finder for ages now and had the same gear idea. I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with your center finder!

[@timsway]

Awesome. Yea I’m surprised there aren’t more tools like that in the market. Welcome!

@@timsway not at all that I could find.. I'm stoked to have it. :)

I see lots of back and forth on the carbon fiber rods, and I wonder if it's not so much a question of immediate use but a question of long-term durability. Sure, both are fine a few weeks out; and others have done similar with them being fine a few months out - but if you plan on hanging on to the instrument for a decade or two, is that where the difference will show? Or if you gig a lot, and we both know the dramatic heat/cold/humidity changes from the trailer to the venue are not kind to an instrument, will the stiffening rods help withstand those rigors? Anyway, love them both - even though I've an irrational dislike of active pickups. Looking forward to the next project.

[@timsway]

My dislike of active pickups was also irrational and I’m finally getting over it! Agreed on the carbon. I think time will tell, but I also have some non carbon necks that are 50-60 years old and fine. Honestly I think it’s more of a necessity in extended range, extra string scenarios than traditional scales and tensions.

hey, any tips on drilling holes for grounding wires to the bridge. On previous builds i've put a rather large hole under the bridge then gone sideways to the pickup/control cavity.

[@timsway]

Yea, it’s the scariest part of any build, that diagonal drill. I suggest getting a 12” long 1/8” drill bit and designing your guitars so the cavity and bridge location are close!

[@billstolz9587]

I never really noticed the wooden pickup both my bases are black on black personal preference 🎸😎

[@timsway]

can't go wrong with black!

[@ricos1497]

Your hands look different in the playing scene. Have you changed them?

[@timsway]

lol. Nope. That’s me and my hands.

[@ricos1497]

@@timsway okay, as long as you're sure.

935th view 108th LIKE... soon. 16:46 - first-look/impression - made me think it looks like you made a bass out of old flooring - "not that there's anything WRONG with that..." - and, I could continue the pun by stating: I really like the fret markers, and the tone samples 'floored me'. But I will spare you that bit of goofiness. They both came out looking & sounding great.

You’ve seen the guitarpet, right? 😂😂
