Trading boxes???

Posted by jeffrey ross on September 6, 2015 at 5:33pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Hello all,

I have received a request to make a CB bass. We are looking to do a pirate theme and I am looking for a specific box I have used before. It is a Las Cabrillas box, large size and says Balboa-Natural across the top. I used this for a guitar and it sounds great. It has a three sailed ship on the front so fits the design perfectly. If anyone has one of these I would pay or trade for it. Also, I will be asking for A TON of help on this as I have never done a bass before. 

Thanks a lot,

Jeff

    I have one las cabriallas left, what boxes do you have to trade?

      I have quite a pile so here is a list:

      Jaime Garcia-My Fathers Cigars....I have a reddish color and two natural 

      Arturo Fuente - I have several styles and sizes to choose from

      St Luis Rey- a black box with silver/grey writing (6 of these)

      Romeo - red and white box

      Padron - several 

      Gurkha _ its a strange box but interesting

      I also have about 6 pieces of 1x6x36" mahogany decking. One piece could make 2-3 necks.

      Let me know if any of that sounds good or we could work out a fair price too!! Thank you for getting back to me.

        Can you post a picture of the gurkha box?

          I have two of the Gurkha boxes I would trade. The pictures are attached. Send a friend request and we can exchange address and other info as needed. Thank you very much for your help with this project.
