The making of De Gier Elevation part 3 of 3

[wnpikoso]

amazing, but i have 2 questions: 1° why putting frets and then glueing the neck? i think that it might affect them as clamps are needed to fix the set-neck.(even if frets are leveled after.. but i dont know)

2° the neck is cut with a saw by "free hand" on both sides. how do you regulate straightness?

thanks!

@wnpikoso

1) Fretting after glueing makes it more difficult to clean the side of the fingerboard and increases risk of damaging the top.

2) That's only rough work, I rout the sides after that.

may i ask what kind of dye you use? i can jsut find the water based stuff, and that is a bit thin in my opinioin, especially if you want to do a natural fake binding like on a PRS.

Thanks

[degierguitarsbasses]

@goodyear2602 It's a thinner-based stain. It has a stronger colour than waterbased dyes. I mix the colours myself.

I watched this video with my electric bass and he passed out ... Images too gruesome for him! XD

beautiful work, but why is the butterfly under the bridge?

[degierguitarsbasses]

Hi! Thanks..!

We had the painting done by a dutch artist. He thought it was a nice spot... :)

[juncof]

who plays that song??

[dongjinmoon]

WOW... o-O all of that for just a bass..

no wonder it's so expensive

[degierguitarsbasses]

but it's not 'just a bass'... :-P

[NobleLumpkin]

Its beautiful art and a wonderful instrument.

[Zuulla]

how much would it cost me if you did a bass of those, but just the wooden parts and ship it? i'd install the electronics myself. I live in portugal

Thanks!

PS: those basses are wonderful

[degierguitarsbasses]

What do you mean? Without pickups and preamp? Or only without preamp..? And do you want us to drill holes for the pots?

And how many strings..? :)

[Zuulla]

i'm not sure, maybe i'll just get the full bass, and give you a bit more profit :D

and i'd like to have either 5 or 6 strings, depending on the prices.

but everything is still on hold, i'd need to work the money out, just wanna have the idea of how much a custom bass would cost. I'd always had the idea of having a unique one.

Thanks, cheers!

[degierguitarsbasses]

Oh, I understand.. :)

that's clear.. Otherwise you could send us an email so we can send you our newsletter! You could stay informed that way.. :)

ciao..!

A bass like this is between 3750 and 4250 in standard version. The special finish in this video is a lot extra as it is hand painted. But if you look at the video of the 6 string Elevation, that bass would be 4500 for example.
