I bought a torsion rod for a mandolin and lost the instructions to cut into the neck. I bought the torsion bar from gitty.
Here’s the Fret scale calculator: https://www.stewmac.com/fret-calculator/
Tony, to build a weed whacker bass, just make it the same way you would a regular cigar box guitar, but make the neck longer, use bass tuners & weed whacker string, it’s that easy? Scale length is 30” get a template from the Stewmac scale length calculator? String gauges are: .080 / .065 - 2 string .080 / .065 / .050 - 3 string very easy, don’t overthink it?
Never met Dave in person, but had many chats online…have not made a canto…but look under resources tab…there is a section of free plans
Lots of plans in the Resources tab, take these plans & convert them to Bass (30” scale length) https://www.cigarboxnation.com/page/build-a-3-string-cigar-box-guitar
Never got to meet Dave Lynas, was in Duluth once, but schedules didn’t work. After Dave passed away, I called this shop that sold his pottery. Went to Duluth, used GPS to find the place. But somehow wrong street name was entered. I ended up at a private residence that I thought was someone selling crafts out of house. knocked on door and stepped in…then realized I made mistake and was standing in a living room. Hurried back to car, this guy comes out in a bathrobe wondering what was going on. Think Dave would have got a laugh out of that
