ESB-4 Semi Hollow Bass Build (with Video, sound demo etc.)

[Georg_Figel]

I've put together a Pitbull ESB-4 Semi Hollow Bass kit.
I documented the whole build in this video:

There is also a sound demo at the end.

Some Details about the build:
Clear Coat: Nitro Cellulose Lacquer Spray Cans (I've used the ones from Northwest Guitars, but any brand will probably do)
Tru-Oil finish on the neck
Wood Dye: Keda Wood Dye Kit for the orange / dartfords Blue Metal Complex Wood Dye Powder

Here are some pictures of the finished bass:











Tru Oil finish:



It took me a while to edit the video. It seems these kits got discontinued. Or maybe there's just a shortage and they'll be back soon?
It's a really cool bass though.

Well done on the guitar and the video!

[Trevor Davies]

Well done. A great guitar. The colour combination works really well.

That's really cool! Loved the video and SUPER impressed by how sharp you got the lines using dye. I didn't think that was even possible!

thank you so much everyone

^^I guess I got lucky. But also, I made sure to never make the dye-rag dripping wet. And then, sealing the orange with the Tru-Oil helped to avoid having the blue bleed into the orange

A great document. Thank you!
