Making a Five String Fretless Bass - Custom Neck Thru

[@YTModeratorX76zl]

WOW! What a Magnificent Specimen of an Instrument. Both Gorgeous and a Piece of Fine Art. Your choice of Pick-Ups and Electronics is Excellent as well. Finally being a Fretless is Very Special. I've played Bass for over 40 years and music for over 50 years, and I would Love to play that Fine Bass for Many Hours and Days. 🎶 💓

[@Whatisright]

Who ever invented tabbed browsing should be remembered for all time. Got 20 of these open watching guitars and bass' being built. Got me looking into learning wanting to learn how to play the bass. Fell into this rabbit hole from another hole of Pawn Stars videos of people selling guitars.

[@CrankyPantss]

You guys are incredible artists of wood. That bass looked beautiful and sounded really great, too. Excellent job, as always.

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you so much 😀 I'm quite happy how it tuned out!

[@PEACEinYESHUA-oj7vc1pk7w]

Stunning instrument and beautifully crafted. Love the bass clef inlay💓

[@RoniAzhar]

love the music, there’s touch of javanism (indonesia) in those note...

[@FromTheHeartWoodMK]

Amazing as always, I've rarely seen such unique and beautifully crafted guitars!

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you very much!:) So glad you like them!

[@paoloantonio1531]

These guys are top notch, crafting, editing, music choice, timing... Now I got my dose of ASMR.. going to sleep and dream about owning one of these beauties

[@jakubjungle656]

this is one of the most instantly magnetic instruments I've ever seen

[@jayscott6462]

Could you please make a longer video of someone playing this bass using the different pickups? What I would REALLY like is a video of each of your instruments so we can hear them

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Sik!!! And what a beautiful headstock!!! This music is on point too!!!👍 Again that headstock tho!! It’s like a updated stingray headstock!!😍😍

That's the best looking bass you've made so far. Great work. I'm looking forward to the next one but it will have to be something seriously special to top this one. 👍

[@johnconklin9039]

Beautiful choice of woods, as always.

[@lignumchannel]

Glad you like it John! I'm also quite happy with the combo😁

[@MixingGBP]

At 8:02 did you have a to use long shaft potentiometers in order to make it a rear control cavity? Otherwise how thick is the wood directly under the potentiometers?

[@SLqB11]

Damn, when will I be able to afford something like this :( What a beauty!

[@MC-xy5cu]

During lockdown, I built a neck-through fretless. I too used a Schaller 3D bridge (and tuners), and I too used Fishman Fluence pickups but only trebble and bass EQ due to costs. I think yours looks a bit better than mine though tbh.

[@chiaroscuro58]

Hi guys, your instruments are truly outstanding but I urge you to find asap a (very) good bass player to let us hear how these beauties really sound. And let him/her play for more than few seconds at the end of the video: make some videos just showing "basses in action" 😉 Hvala

[@reymondfelizardo2212]

Remco's Groove Lab would be a perfect tester for this.

[@chimichangle]

The music playing in the bg of the whole video is also made using the instrument

[@MisterNiles]

[@unamericano]

It’s like an even sexier MM bongo! Adore it.

[@35Danconn]

Do you always leave the tape over the truss rod? In another (less professional) build video I saw the luthier put a maple plug over the truss rod. He was doing an epoxy fingerboard but it got me wondering.

[@Traumm9]

Fascinating to watch. Thanks for sharing

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you for watching!😁

[@MOZOGuitars]

This came out so gorgeous!! Anybody have any idea what white fluid/glue was used to make those fret lines? Also, anybody know what kind of syringe they used? Thank you!

[@SuperNunien]

the description says white epoxy

[@timberdish]

That would have been so unsatisfying without hearing the bad at the end, but, as always, you delivered. Great video. Keep filling the world with music and beautiful things like our Creator.

[@Lone-Wolf87]

Those robot arms are amazing.

[@lignumchannel]

I do love them :)

[@jaekrieldgx_71]

Can you please tell me what the type of or name of the machine you use when doing the automated carving? I thought it was a CNC machine - and it may be - but I've never seen a CNC that looked like that. Any info you can provide and I would be most grateful. Cheers ~

[@jwhite3389]

Truly a work of art.

[@petarmasnic916]

Svaka vam čast. Savršena bas gitara.

Hvala Petre!:)

[@andrewgocken517]

That is absolutely gorgeous

[@wilko1251]

Great video! Which bass strings are you using?

[@chris_cookies]

When you use a long end mill like at 3:30 do you get any noticeable amount of deflection from the end mill or the robot?

[@lignumchannel]

It depends mostly on milling speed, it gets noticable at speeds of 100mm per second and more. The whole arm gets a little bit bent because it is not as rigid as clasic portal cnc. Happens with any length but more with longer bits.. slow is the way to go😁

[@tompoletti5676]

Stunning work

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you Tom!

[@lignumchannel]

[@chazz-j1994]

Fantastic work! What strings were on the bass? They really bring out the wide tonal palette of the Fishman pickups.

[@ragnkja]

I must admit that the orientation of the bass clef confuses me, as there’s a lower string above it and three higher strings below it.

[@yoursfalsely]

it's positioned where it would be if it were on a musical staff, is the thought behind it i think

[@ragnkja]

@@yoursfalsely It’s the orientation, not the position, that confuses me. I know where the bass clef is usually located (though if you know your music history you’ll know that clefs didn’t always have a fixed location in the staff).
