Does the DIY Trash Bass Still Play?? 6 Months Later

It's been about 6 months since I built this double bass from all reclaimed wood. Here's a status update followed by a truncated version of the build series.

Totally dug the Just Like Heaven intro, you know Dinosaur Jr. has a real good cover of that song if you’re into them. Glad to see the bass is still holding up.

You are fantastic. Love this channel. Serious Adam Savage energy.

I'm glad you're out here making instruments in unconventional ways and "breaking the rules" because that is exactly what I want to be doing. Appreciate the good work!

i just happened to watch all of the double bass videos today...and i wondered how things ended up, i know wood settles.funny timing? regardless of if you see this comment or not, i admire what you make .

[stevebeck]

My grandson plays the bass and he told me about your channel awhile back. Amazing work! My motto is why buy one when you can make it better!👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m so glad YouTube randomly recommended that cigar box guitar video and let me find your channel!

Thank you for sharing your whole journey in one video, I assume the people who don’t like you using cnc tools also don’t like you using electric tool and say you can’t be a real wood working craftsman because of that. But I like you are using all kind of tools, in my eyes that is a real craftsman, use the tools there’s available for him to create the best product he can do. God bless you and your family.

While I watched the original videos;I enjoyed revisiting them and seeing how it is holding up.Sounds great and I like the fact that it is built from what you had on hand. Thanks for the content, again.

Another fantastic build; I love what you’re doing using reclaimed materials :)

Way back in 1990 I wanted a fretless bass but couldn’t afford one; so I built one using reclaimed mahogany from an old mantle piece for the body; I caved it out on the floor in the lounge of the flat I was living in at the time. I’m still using that same bass today :)

[MangledGuitars]

I loved the reclaimed builds you do man! Thanks for sharing

[Spritsailor]

For those small bent pieces you coated with CA glue, you could use an epoxy syringe to fill the gaps with epoxy and make the body into something that could not pull apart. Epoxy syringes are used for wooden boat building.

wow dude the resonance on that upright is great, well done

[SMee]

That has held up incredibly well.
Made it better that you thought.
I still think it looks awesome 👍🏽

[sapelesteve]

Ah yes, I remember watching that whole series of videos. Well done on that stand up build Tim & the fact that it's still holding up well is a testament to your skills. Great work 😉😉👍👍🎸🎸

[joelizquierdo]

I love the end of the video where you looked at it and walked away. That was funny 😆

[phunkissartisticcreations]

We really enjoy seeing you seeing you come up with unconventional ways to work through the project, Yet another use for the DIRESTA ice pick. That thing is amazing and you are a true master!❤

Hey Tim, at first I had some trepidation about the neck bolts. I was wrong! Excellent summary video. My favorite project. Thanks

[garagemonkeysan]

Nice summary. Epic build. So cool daddy o. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[brianpetersen]

Very cool video! Love the results you created.

Glad to see and hear the base. It's so cool when an experiment like this holds up so well. I watched all of the original videos when they were produced. Thanks for your work!! Great fun!
