Ep 2 - Begin building the neck - 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. This video is 2 of 5 and here Ben is building the neck using flamed Sycamore and an unusual choice of Burl Oak for the fretboard.

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