I Built an Electric Bass Guitar in My Garage! | FULL BUILD

Описание: I built an electric bass guitar from scratch in my garage — from raw lumber all the way to a fully custom complete instrument! This video compiles the entire 20- part build series into one video for anyone who wants to see the full process start to finish!

Welcome to the complete DangerZoneGuitar bass build!
In this video, I take you through the entire process of building a custom electric bass guitar — all done at home, in my garage. Every step is here: shaping the body, routing cavities, carving the neck, installing frets, finishing, and final setup.

This full build has it all — no shortcuts, no fancy tools, just the DIY spirit and a whole lot of sawdust.

🪚 What’s in this build:

Making the neck and body blanks

Routing, sanding, and neck shaping

Fretwork: leveling, crowning, and polishing

Applying an acrylic lacquer and aniline dye finish

Final setup, stringing, and play test


This bass was a journey to make, and I’m kind of shocked it turned out. If you enjoy the video, hit like, subscribe, and check out the other guitar projects on the channel!
