Ep 3 - Marking fret and nut positions - How to Build a P-style Bass Guitar

Welcome to Crimson Guitars and welcome to Ben's workshop where he is finally building a P-style Bass Guitar. In this episode, Ben is building the neck using flamed Sycamore and an unusual choice of Burl Oak for the fretboard. This is Episode 3 of 5 and here Ben is continuing work on the neck, marking and cutting the slots for the frets, - also - is that neck straight?

This will be a straightforward Bass guitar build, but let's see how Ben puts his spin on things...
