Diddley! Started w. a jute string (no hemp string in the shop), thx Jonathan but didn't like the sound, went to a git string. Sweetness and fun. And quick build :) -Glenn
Glenn Kaiser T-Gripped, yes, 2 part. And no special bracing due to three factors- just using 1 string and not a super heavy gauge at that. Secondly I think this particular box is tough cardboard overlaid wood so fairly strong. Lastly, I didn't glue the lids…

Glenn Kaiser Wc! I've really a thing for diddleys, and they challenge me to write and perform better songs as there's sorta no safety net as with more strings. Fun. Thx again! -Glenn

Glenn Kaiser Thx Jonathan! Agreed. I've used all you mention here on a number of occassions with varied results and it surely is subjective. I'd just never tried any sort of cord or twine before. I've made and even sold weed wacker bass cbgs, some w. a pickup…

Glenn Kaiser Ha, thanks Doug, nice look, great sound. Had the neck lying around from a failed 3 stringer so just used one of the holes for the tuner. Had the box for a long time, finally came up w. the build. -Glenn
Got it, will do today. I've done a lot of super-varied builds over the years, if interested: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrngMytbk3pOehGzNeR8T3g A bent chair leg git too, love creating, just don't recall using hemp or jute for a diddley so...…

"So Johnathan, I love Make Mag. too, sweet stuff! But how does the hemp twine sound compared to steel or nylon strings? Would love to hear this diddley! -Glenn"
Xtra metal tuner, xtra pup from old Yamaha Pacifica. Didn't wanna cut out for pup so decided a diff. way to mount, thus "High Rise", ha! Sounding COOL... Diddley cookin'! -Glenn

Glenn: I was impressed by pics put up recently of a 5-gallon bucket bass, and (I think) your name was mentioned by the builder, thanking you for the idea. Do you have plans for such a bass that you could share?
