first bass in the works

Posted by Gibby Fiddy Five on January 9, 2014 at 10:49pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Started on a bass this afternoon cut the bottom out of fuel tank and installed crutch neck.Going to work on electrics this weekend either piezo or old microphone I have lying around.She sounds pretty good,I'll probably embellish it with some old property of joe's fish camp or something,I may shoot some  .22 holes in it just have to sand bag the inside so there's no jagged exit holes[URL=http://s176.photobucket.com/user/galletaloco/media/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1275_zps1f983292.jpg.html][IMG]http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w167/galletaloco/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1275_zps1f983292.jpg[/IMG][/URL].[URL=http://s176.photobucket.com/user/galletaloco/media/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1279_zps5764186f.jpg.html][IMG]http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w167/galletaloco/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1279_zps5764186f.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://s176.photobucket.com/user/galletaloco/media/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1276_zps8a302cc4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w167/galletaloco/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1276_zps8a302cc4.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://s176.photobucket.com/user/galletaloco/media/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1277_zpsc5e23e68.jpg.html][IMG]http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w167/galletaloco/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1277_zpsc5e23e68.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://s176.photobucket.com/user/galletaloco/media/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1278_zps41411f27.jpg.html][IMG]http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w167/galletaloco/cigar%20box%20gits/100_1278_zps41411f27.jpg[/IMG][/URL

    Looks cool, the oar works better with the old boat tank I think, now you have the whole nautical theme going on. Thanks for sharing.

    Some round wounds I snatched off my bass still swapping around to find what I like.I'll probably like some nylon strings who knows half the fun of these builds is figuring out what works best.I'm liking the E and A strings

      Thanx - Let me know what all you try - I have a set off an old electric bass I've been saving waiting to go for an adventure!!    :-)

    Multi purpose at it's best!!  What strings did you use??
