Bass Guitar Project Hardware Build Headless Conversion

Part 2 of my Headless vs. Headstock Bass Guitar Experiment. Which of the two construction types has advantages and disadvantages when it comes to sound and playability. Welcome to a slightly different Video on my Luthier Workshop Channel. I was alway curious about the Sound differences between Headless and Headstock Instruments not just on Basses also on Guitars. So I decided to cut off the Headstock of my Handmade Bass that I have build 10 years a go to answer this question for myself. In this Part 2 Video you can follow the process how I construct a build a massiv brass Headpiece from scratch and change the Bridge to fine Tune Mono Rail bridges to make this Bass tune able and playable again. As a Luthier it's not just about woodworking you have to work with quite different Materials and this is one part of the job that I really enjoy. My Favorite Metalls are copper and brass. At the end there will be a Soundcheck comparison. Please let me know if you hear any differences and what construction do you prefer. Feel free to check out the first Part of this interesting project were I cut of the Headstock..... So if you are interested in my Luthier Craftsmanship stay tuned and enjoy the Video. I love doing stuff like that - if you are interested in more of my Luthier life Projects, please feel free to check out my other extended Workshop Videos on this channel.
Enjoy watching and sharing.
Best Regards Nik
