I fixed up an AliExpress Bass from Zero to Hero 

the death by glamour intro caught me WAYYY off-guard

This was so satisfying to watch, please make more!

Fantastic job! Great playing.

Glad you kept the pass and made it better. I have considered buying a Ali Express bass as a project instrument.

I love the growl of the low B string

Bless my soul - Bass Cave is on a roll!

interesting sounds and a nice looking bass. sounds like you learned a bit as well.

This is great thank for sharing

I like it, and I'm a 71 year old retired bass player with an old P-bass .

I like a lot your videos!

Well done Great Work and playing Thank for playing to cover a wide range of different styles and how well your Bass handled them all sound great , what is the string spacing and what did you use to coat the neck with please ,the wood looks really nice as well, On the Ali Express experience, I bought a Pre Amp module the components on a circuit board type the that you couple up to the Power Amp Stage of an Amplifier (not a foot pedal type) and it won't work.

Good job!😀

Great work! Would love to try the same idea some day

Nice work, man! One day, I get out of my head and start modifying my Cort GB 35A! Stay safe! Macedo Pinto, Portugal

When I think about making my own instrument, I have no confidence in making my own neck.. So I price out the neck.. And say HOLY LORD!!! I can buy a whole instrument for that! I love videos that show moddable instruments: good,bad, and ugly. I have a gas list like we all do. . you are a great player too, dude!

Great video. I'm thinking about doing the same.

Amazing¡!

Hot take: beyond a certain threshold, all the wood fires is hold the components in place. If you have quality electronics, strings and hardware, by the time you've run it through an amp and any editing software, you can get whatever sound you want. The wood is really good aesthetics and comfort (both hugely important, but neither are concerns when it comes to sound).

I have it like you. Modification done.

It is funny I am not alone. It become my hobby to make Chinese guitars payable. Setup and simple upgrades can make those not so bad instruments.

That point about the "fret markers"... I have an oldish Vintage (brand, not description!) V940 fretless bass which i bought new quite a few years ago. Not expensive and has side dots in the correct places, i.e. where teh fret line would be, if there were frets. I more recently bought a Sire 5 string fretless bass, BUT the side dots are as on your bass, where they would be if there were frets. Considering this is much more recent, I would have thought that Sire would have gotten this right.But no. Not that i have to rely on the position markers too much, but moving about the neck it's good to have visual confirmation that you are in teh right place! Absolute pain, that i am having to consider re-marking where the fret lines should be! I don't know whether Sire has fixed this on more recent models, but really they should have got this right in the first place.

Good job! Does it has dead notes?

Very good🎉🎉🎉

Good Job. I would have used White Luminlay (or other colour) on the Fingerboard as they double as regular side dots but also glow in the dark on stage. You can use a cordless drill if you don't have a drill press to install them. Thanks for the video 🍺

As long as the neck pocket is cut on the right angles many these Chinese Basses are a steal. Wood is Wood just count on upgrading hardware, electronics and having to dress the frets then you should have an excellent bass for thousands less than wholesale.

If I could work with the same position as you with my eyesight being impaired as it is, I would build my own guitars and bases from scratch. This definitely isn’t shabby. (Supposedly the epoxy coating enables the player to slap without the possibility of damaging the fingerboard.) I was confused at first. You filmed the playing demos and the reconstruction process by pointing and shooting, but you filled your monologue segments in selfie mode which made you look left-handed. Check out *The Police Live.* That double album features plenty of fretless with a pick. That was (probably) Sting keeping one foot in punk rock where the Police began and the other foot in Jazz where *he* began.

what the name of the song at the start of the video

Nice job. What baffles me is....a pickip from Finland? No EMG's closer to Australia?? 😳

Congratulation ! 👏👏What a beautiful Instrument, I wish I could do this too . And thanx to the chinese workers for working for small Money. 🧑‍🔧🙏

Cool video but please chill out with the bells.

I’m doing the same thing. Bought a Wal clone for 500$ (CAD) Thing was riddled with issues. The holes for the tuning machines are all out of whack. The nut is atrocious, the hardware cheap, the pickups/electronics are hot garbage. the electronics cavity looked like it was carved out by a child (probably was). I’ve added all new hardware, pickups, preamp, and it sounds and plays very nice. Went from a 500$ bass to a 2000$ bass though lol

Can you sell me that bass you fixed? Sounds great

Coooomoooo le sacaaaaa armonicos?????????

DeAliexpresseira.

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING

so by "zero" you mean high action on last frets and bad electronics? oh gosh.

you could easily make sound like a stingray if you re do and fix the wiring of the pickups and pots. its a great modification platform if you want better tone

The distorted sound and weird framerate in this video is uncanny valley material. Is this AI-generated? lol
