No kidding on that character, that tone was killer.
Thanks jay!
I love how the playing is in the background throughout now. Love the new formula
But a bit loud compared to the voice over. Just my constructive two cents.
Totally agree @Itsaya... But I also agree with Elon, it's a bit too loud in the mix with the voice over
Snake - I'm could do with a lot less volume or maybe no background - Just saying
And both versions of the bass too.
Hi, Dan!
Re: The treble switch:
If 'ya swapped out one of your pots for a push-pull pot and did some minor solder work, you could replace that DIP switch with the aforementioned push-pull, so you *could* change it on the fly.
I totally want an engraving video Dan. that would be sweet.
Haha, "so I just chopped the neck off, and finished it of with a screwdriver", brilliant to see how your builds stay down to earth!
I would personally LOVE to see a hofner violon style bass kit review!
Dan every time you build a new bass it shows how much your craftsmanship keeps growing....
That bass has been through so much...
And btw I would totally want to see how you do your custom engravings.
Of course, engraving videos!
I think in one of his build videos he touches it, i might be wrong tho. He uses his dremel ik that
in the first dream strat he shows it i think
nope i was wrong
dream bass
Definitely do a engraving video! Would love to see how you get such great results!
Would love to see a vid of your custom engraving. I've had a few engraving jobs and very curious to see your technique. Tried freehand engraving with a Dremel vibration engraver and yeah, not so good lol. Love that pickup ring!
Looks nice and yes I'd love to see an engraving tutorial. Pretty expensive proposition to save that kit. Great playing as always.
Not really, a spare neck costs less than $50 typically. The tools for steaming out a neck joint would cost way more than that!
Reminds me of Dave grohl’s sig guitar
Yeah very similar to a trini Lopez huh!
So it’s all about guns ... and guitars, one of the most American channel ever ! This guy knows his stuff! I like that !
I would love a video on the engravings. That bass and your custom cabinet look awesome
Hey Dan, it's been over a year since you last did a Rickenbacker style kit, and you'll notice in that time that affordable kits for rick style basses have become quite a bit rarer and quite a bit less affordable. If you're looking for an idea for a future video, It'd be really cool to see another one of those.
Love it. Great look, great tone, great build. I'm glad there's still time for these videos with your new lifestyle. Keep it up.
Love your Channel especially the amazing guitar work that you do and that was a serious transformation on that bass loved it
Love the fact that most of the mods would normally cost hundreds, Dan comes along and as long as you have the tools to do it you pay for parts and done.
And definitely do a video on the etching always turns out great
I've been waiting for this video for a long time. But the finition and the tone just reach my heart! It's beautiful!
So glad to finally see a vid on this bass. I’ve been seeing it on the wall and been waiting to see a full vid on this
Heyo, Dan! This is a great vid, mayn! Beautifully done bass in build and your playing. Sounds fantastic. Absolutely would enjoy seeing some engraving videos. Your video production is at a point to really do it justice so, yes please. great video, thank you for sharing!
That was awesome! Love the outdoor shots! Safe travels
Beautiful work Dan. I love the engraving work and the gray burst. It looks amazing! Rock on!
This looks incredible! I've been saving for a 335- style guitar for a bit and this is giving me ideas.
Good to see you back at it!
Great bass Dan. It looks cool and got some great sounds ☺
I absolutely LOVE what you did with this bass!! It looks and sounds fantastic!
Love the new video style where you are playing throughout the build with labeled tone samples (bridge, neck, both, etc.)
Simple, non-obtrusive, and effective!
I've been a bass player over 30 years now, and this axe really inspires me. So many possibilities flowing through my head on a second bass build for me are churning now!
Beautiful bass with awesome tone. Great job!
This is by far my favorite build you’ve done! The tone is amazing.
So awesome!!! Great job!!
That tone is grindy man, damn!
Also, digging the locations on screen.
I'll watch now had to comment first lol!--- 13:49 later...I did the same route to a les paul and put a strat neck on it and now I make em and call em Paulocasters!
That sounds rad. I made a bolt on Les Paul too!
You should tele everyone about that...pun intended
You are a beast, Dan. Never stop being awesome.
Looks great Dan! Glad to see you building such awesome stuff on the road man!
Btw, would LOVE to see an additional video on engraving!
Engrave away! I got the dremel flex extension and now need to use it!
Great recommendation in prior video.
I just can't get enough of your finish.
You have good taste haha!
Thanks for being such an adventurous spirit and having such ambitious work ethic to do these videos bro!
Much appreciated.
Sounds great, looks rad!
One of the bet vids I've seen on youtube. Pretty amazing!
Never been a huge hollow body fan, but now I want one! Well done sir!
Dan, Awesome work and tone on that bass..
Never wanted a semi hollow or hollow body until today. Great tone. Great playing. I dig the way you demo'd the bass along with the build tutorial.
That bass looks and sounds great!
Nice rework there, Dan! Came out great!! Thanks for the great vid!
Thanks Karl!
Nice save, thoroughly enjoyable.
Nice, as always good video Dan, hope one day you get to make a SG type guitar
Maybe one day I will!
Yes on the engraving video.
I love that engraving job! That is so awesome, I'd love to see a dedicated video
Great build!
it' is good to se you back on guitars!!!
Your finest build so far! I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again!
Looks great and sounds good
That's the bass I dreamed of and never knew it existed! haha
This is just beautiful!
Amazing paint job, engraving, electronics selection and KILLER tone. I would love to have one of those.
Dan, GREAT vid. That bass turned out STELLAR. Love the tone and the visual aesthetics. I would love to see a vid about your engraving techniques.
Keep em coming Sir........Many thanks!!!!!
Beautiful bass, Dan! I've been focused on drone videography lately, but this has my guitar building vibes waking up!
Fantastic as always dan
Thanks josh!
That's fokin genius, Dan u killed it
bass looks sexy enough, but that compass engraving give the bass his soul, would lov to see those engraving tutorials
Awesome build man, thanks
Thanks Giancarlo!
Dan great video as always! Yes please do make a video of how you create engraving on you projects.
That bass sounds and looks so good, was not disappointed. That tone is huge! Good video as always and i liked that you put the name of the place where you filmed. And hell yea i would like to see how you do those gravings
Love the new style of editing. No need to make 2 videos. Excellent build dan.
Hi from the UK! Great build/tone. Would definitely love to see more custom artwork footage. You got a gift there for sure. I'm jealous. :)
Awesome dude!
Good to see you back!
That's sweet. I'd say you definitely got the tone you were looking for.
Hahahaha I love the Dan Thompson way! You are really an inspiration, Dan. I hope to be half a guitar maker that you are some day. Rock on!
Your builds always turn out so well Dan! Killer as always and great tone!
Thanks Aaron!
That engraving you did was super cool too! I REALLY want them to do a kit for the Hofner club bass (not just the ugly violin one). Thanks again for your fun how-to videos; LOVE them.
Looks and sounds great.
That’s a beautiful bass!
lovely work,,that kicks bum,,thanks Brad!!!!
I think that engraving video you mentioned is a great idea!
Dan you're a madman, cutting off the neck instead of steaming, I love it! Also, I would love to see a custom engraving video!
It came out awesome & looks unique !! :)
Thanks terry!
what a life, keep living the dream, awesome bass too
I just had an active/passive bypass installed in my bass using the same preamp you use. I’ll never own a bass without one again! It’s so useful!
Seriously. It makes a great little setup
Dan, that was a friggin' incredible build! I purchased an unfinished paddle neck that was more to spec for my Schecter Model-T (the neck fits all the way in the pocket this time instead of a nice gap wear my 7 year younger self didn't take fret count into consideration as well as scale length.... *doooohhhh*) I have been really sputtering on getting the head-stock finished at i don't really have a lot of good tools for lopping material off the head, but you have inspired my to start grinding that puppy down to the basic template i put on there and making her look pretty (fender telecaster bass style head design, with a few little personal touches, of course). Thanks for the inspiration as always! i think maaaaybe you should look into getting a bargain musician's V BASS KIT as your next bass, so i have something to look forward to watching.... in a year. lol cheers to you and your family and safe travels!
This channel came a long way since the starting days... Very nice. Great video and really like your lifestyle choice. Would be cool if you made this a thing where people across the globe could catch you roaming around their town and bring you stuff and exchange ideas and projects.
Been waiting so glad to see this. AWESOME 🔥🔥
Thanks Tracy!
Totally want to see the custom engravings!!!
Great Job Dude.....
Men you blow my mind with this one... Is perfect Men I love how it sounds, the tone is amazing congrats danosaurious!!!!
Thanks Rafa!
That's one sweet sounding bass, Dan. :)
I just love these semi hollow basses because of the Starcaster
For those who don't know bass and guitar pickup are made the same way just that, pickups with poles or screws are dedicated to each ones, but every blade pickup works on bass ( There are even people back in time putting guitar pickup in eb0/eb3 under the cover, to replace the mudbucker ) si strat blade pickup, firebird, Charlie Christian, danelectro ... work on bass, and every blade bass pickups could be put on guitars
Wow. I remember the original build. What a great job on the refinish. That engraving really looks good.
Thanks Jeff!
Looks badass.
Wow that turned out well!!!! I just saw a part of our conversation stream when you referenced this guitar and the issues you were having lol.. nice job man!!!!!
Haha I remember that convo! Lol
We really need an SG one of these videos
That looks so cool! Amazing job 👌
Thanks Ruben!
By far my favorite Dan bass yet
Yay build videos are back!
I would really love to see some engraving video tutorials!
You got it razman!
Amazing job, sounds beautiful
Great job on that bass 🙂
That looks great Dan !
Thanks Todd!
@@GunsandGuitars Sounds great too !
That tone, man.. It's so good and punchy...
And I would be very happy if you make a dedicated video on how to engrave on that bass...
Excellent end result to the original awkward kit
that looks like fun to play
Awesome bass😮..i wish i could have a first bass like that...
