Walking Stick 3 String Bass March 2013

Posted by Scott aka Farmer Ted on March 10, 2013 at 9:15am
My dad's been wanting a Kona Bob's Walking Stick Bass for years...but those cost over $500...not good for a retiree. So here it is Dad...your very own Farmer Ted's Walking Stick Bass.Rock maple body & neck (one piece), rosewood fingerboard (fretless), 34" scale, Fender Nylon Tape Wound medium strings, dual piezo rosewood bridge & aluminum rod saddle, paduk trim, bone nut, black sealed tuners...and tuned to ADG.I made two spikes, one for playing while standing & the other for while sitting.

    I would like to build one for an arthritic bass player

    Instead of a lightning rod call it a thunder rod

    Thanks guys. To Hip Bone...I used two disk piezos under the bridge, wired direct to the output jack.

    This is great.. A friend wants me to make a stand up bass for him...this is perfect.. did you use standard cheap piezo disk? He also wants a 42 inch scale... Got some work to do... great job!
