Tiny but Powerful - Building a Custom 23" Short- Scale Bass From Scratch

After all those "I wish your videos were longer" comments, I decided to make a half an hour video. Also something you haven't seen before, not a single frame in this video is speed up. Everything is 100% the same speed as it was done. This gives more of the chance to see finer details and a closer idea of the time it takes to finish a project like this. As for the instrument, my brother drew the shape, and the design waited for the right customer for over a year. This one will find it's home in California. The wood we used for this project is
Padouk for the neck with maple veneer in between the slats, and oak wood for the body. Riviera single headless head pieces hold the strings at the head and Riviera headless single bridges tension them at the body. We chose Delano SONAR 2 buffer paired with THE EXTENDER 5HE/S pickup for this build. Schaller S-locks hold the straps. Fret-board is oiled and the body is sprayed in two coats of matte varnish. We tried something new for the fret markers this time, LEDs light them up! For more details about the build, turn on the CC for captions. I hope you enjoyed this a bit longer video than usual.
