I'd really recommend at least 3 strings for bass. That allows you to play complete scales in one position, lets you slap octaves and makes it much easier to play a lot of iconic bass lines.
As for tuning, keep in mind that you're going to be playing single notes so open tuning doesn't offer any advantage (and probably a disadvantage). EAD is great for playing in G.
Nice wood on the finger board and nice looking head stock.
What strings and tuning? If I were to make a two or three string bass, what tuning would be best for playing in G? I bough a LOT of assorted strings a while back in bulk and have some regular bass strings and some short scale silicone strings.

Thanks, K.
Thanks UJ!
It's tuned EAD with LaBella Low Tension Flats, .100, .75, .56
