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
