Stop! Rewind...fretting a new Fretless Bass Guitar Ep 6 | A Tutorial in changing your mind!

Описание: #guitarbuilder #guitar #bassguitar #guitarbuilding #guitardesign

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... and Ben's home workshop. This is the last video in the recent Bass build series. When Ben completed with Fretless Bass during a series of livestreams, it was raffled off with the proviso that if the winner so desired, Ben would turn it into a fretted bass. This indeed happened and we hope that the new owner of this instrument has as much enjoyment playing it as we had watching Ben build it.
