Anyone have a good suggestion on what to use for a bridge on a 3 string cigar box bass guitar? Looking for ideas / suggestions / pics / any info you can share. Thanks! Chaplain Will

I don't have pictures... but I took two pieces of wood from the inside of an all wood cigar box... I glued them together... I then took a forstner bit and drill out two spaces for piezo discs... I wire the piezo discs in series and drilled a hole in the box for the wires to connect to the jack. I cut a small slot and put a piece of fret wire in it. My strings went across the fretwire as my bridge. It sounded great.

I used a old piece of copper tube, filed in some slots. (one broken string atm :) )
