    yesterday
  • 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
    Friday
  • 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

  • Bro Glenn,

    I am building a CBG site-not commercial- and answered a question of how I got started with this and the answer is that I have been your fan for a long time and found you on a YouTube link to see what you are up to now.

    i posted that YouTube link on my site TunesFromTrash.com and hope you approve of me using it.

    My other site is JesusChristExalted.com and I would like to reference your GRRR sitee there, please.

    Thank you,

    Jack

  • Thank you!  I'll keep looking.

  • 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?

  • Thanks my Brother. This hobby now has become a lifestyle I am passing on to others.it is great to be connected with like minded people on the nation.
