Hey tim ,great job ! I'm looking to do this with a 50 special. Have you a link to buy the swingarm or to buy the plans/drawings for it ?

Adam Savage?

I did an entire board Made a band saw type of tool to ride the bench with sanding belts Umbrella ribs to protect frets Came out great But , why do the last frets where there is absolutely no drag on your fingers from the board at all Makes no sense

This week I wanted to try turning old motorcycle helmets into lamps. The unfortunate thing about motorcycle helmets (even very expensive ones) is their impact foam degrades. Most industry standards recommend replacing a helmet after about 5 years of use. My uncle gave me his Shoei Neotec when I started riding, a helmet which I love, but has unfortunately reached the 5 year cut-off so I want to turn it into a unique gift that he can still enjoy.

Definitely interested in something similar but a bit longer in scale--like 32".

Bass VI? When is Bass VII?

Hmmm interesting video , played the drums for many years (started at primary school what you americans call elementary) , good to see stuff being reused but a cheap kit to start with isnt always a bad idea as cheap kits from 50 years ago ect are far superior to anything "emtry level" you can buy today , sadly the one you started with want vintage thats why quality was poor , but it was free! So win win

Great video Tim ! I’m sold I’m just looking for a donor Vespa or a TOMOS moped but only issue I have! It rains a lot in the North of the UK so I will need to keep weather proof whilst I’m using it

WHY ?

The headstock is not better than it was that looks butchered.

In all honesty I think you are a pretty good player , and I used to have that same line Six amp , and they actually have some great tones , but not so great in reliability, Great comparison, thank you !

Such a cool fun instrument! Excellent to see the development.

I use a bass vi with humbuckers for everything from doom metal in DADGAD with a tri-amp multi-fuzz rig to jazz combo gigs. They’re far more versatile than most folks give them credit for.

🔥🔥🔥Tim is always ahead of the curve. Cool stuff. ❤

These guitars have a lot of personality. They kind of remind me of friends.

Sweet design

The n. 8 -that's a very nice instrument! The way you wired the pickups is pretty brilliant.

Nice design 👍

So happy you included the flourishes from the original well. It really pulls it all together by including those bits of the woods history in a new life.

This rocks. Now I want a bass VI.

can you make one with a Floyd rose?

Sounds slightly out of tune…

Terrific work on all those Bases Tim. That 3 pick up Bass is over the top awesome! Well done! 👏👏🎸🎸👍👍

I can do without the tremolo

Very nice. I have 2 bass VI’s I built. I need to work with them some more.

Cool to see the evolution of this design, showing the iterations side by side. Much more fun to keep trying new and different things instead of doing the same-old every time. Can't wait to see how you do it next time. Thanks for sharing!

Just finishing off my baritone guitar build, now I wanna build a bass 6 😂. You're an inspiration Tim

Creepy Tim intro! My Mum told me about guitar makers like you...

Its hard for me to get into the "bass" frame of mind when I'm playing what feels like a guitar. They are kind fun to use as a really "deep" guitar though.

Tim have you seen those odd circular pickups that are for each individual bass string (4 strings)? Would love to see your take on them!!

Cool stuff as always. It's fun to see your transition from a hobbyist to an instrument builder. The use of the machines to make the work less cumbersome reminds me of the Peavey T-60/T-40 series of instruments. They were the first to use automation to improve consistency, and reduce labor costs. Those have a great story... although Peavey's story took a dive when Hartley retired.

I can hear the Violent Fems using one!

hey man they look so cool! well done sir!😁

26th subscriber view about to happen... 0:56 I'd name that earliest model "The Flintstone" - 'cause Fred would really ROCK that one. Back in the era of Teisco guitars, local pawn shop/jewelry/novelty shops carried a Japanese-made brand of electric guitar called a St. George. Ever see one of those? The wood with the black pickguard is a good look, IMHO. 6:22. 8th LIKE posted. Some surf tunes in the future of any of those? (that middle pick-up).

I always thought they were cool but never played one

Thanks 👍🇺🇸

oooooh that pickup. love it.

I’ve never heard of the bass supply company mentioned in this video, but I have heard of LEMUR Music…

Hmmmm no bass guitar pedal offerings?

Great video Tim! I’m a new viewer here and i’m really inspired by your work and i’ve been loving the content you make. Not to over compliment you or anything but you truly deserve more subscribers!👍

Social D! 👍👍

Then turn the bong into lamp

Turn the remnants into bong

thats too cool

I've been thinking about trying one of those ZerO Glide nuts. I need to read more about them. I can't find any before/after videos. I love my guitars but depending on the tuning, the open strings can sound unpleasantly different and plastic-y.

Hello Tim. I am having trouble with Google. This is not my address, but Google seems to have forced it on to me. However, I have just posted a detailed comment, requesting if you could supply one of these pickups without the wooden casing. If so, how much. My first post (which seems to have disappeared) explaion that I am modding my Acoustasonic adding a neck pickup, but there's not much space. Cheers, keep up the good worm.

Tim really snapped when he broke that lamp.... Sheeeeeeet

Bass season! ... It's always bass season for me.

As always another awesome build. Always enjoy your videos. 😎👍

Sounds killer Tim!
