Hey everyone! It has been way too long. I've been recovering from some burnout from overworking myself this last summer and had some significant life changes that slowed the production of this video further. It's very good to be back. I have a number of new videos already in the works so you should be seeing new content frequently again from here on out. I hope you enjoy this project, and please let me know as always if you give it a try for yourself! This video is currently unlisted but will be going live to the public tomorrow. Thanks!

How To Make A Bottle Bass Guitar

In this video I build a bass guitar inspired by a video from the early days of YouTube. You can check out my inspiration for this project here (this is not the original upload, I seem to have lost it): https://youtu.be/APao25flL_k The maker of that original bass guitar uploaded his own explanation of his build process which you can view here (I made some design changes for my own build): https://youtu.be/bzGJQliNIbo This video was viewer supported by all of you who have contributed to these projects through Patreon. Thank you! A special thanks to my top Patrons: Syniurge, Matthew Leitzke, TheBackyardScientist, Enzo Breda Lee, & John Johnson!
