What CBG is it?

Posted by Bluesheart on November 13, 2010 at 10:37am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Any one know what CBG Seasick Steve is playing in the "Don't go West" video? My friend wants me to build him one like it. It looks like it may be a 4 string fretless w/ a magnetic pickup, but it is hard to tell from the video. I'm assuming Seasick did not build it, but I've been wrong before, just ask my wife! Thanks for any help you can give. Bluesheart

Hey, thanks for the help. I think that pic tells me what I need to know. Sort of fits in with the "no rules" mindset eh?

I like the spatula tailpiece, Reg Green could not have done better.
