\"Crimson<\/p>\n

I\u2019m always mesmerized by videos of instruments being made, especially basses. Crimson Guitars put together a five-part series on \u201cHow to Build a P-Style Bass Guitar,\u201d and it\u2019s incredible to watch even a simple build come together.<\/p>\n

Ben Crowe from Crimson Guitars starts from scratch with a piece of spalted English Ash for the body, some flamed sycamore for the neck, and Pippy Brown Oak for the fretboard. It comes together for what they call \u201ca timeless shape with a few twists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other features include Gotoh hardware, a brushed pickguard, and a Seymour Duncan pickup. <\/p>\n
