This is my latest homemade string instrument and my first homemade bass. I started with a pizza paddle and ended up turning it into a 2 string fretless bass. I had no idea how to do this when I started... but I'm pretty pleased with the result.
I added an audio demo here: https://cigarboxnation.com/video/quick-demo-of-the-pizza-paddle

Thanks Vinnie and Bob. It sounds like you've got a nice build comin' Bob.
Wow! Somehow I missed this video. You answered my questions and then some. Very informative and what a great job on your pizza paddle bass. I'm going to use wine barrel staves and make a solid body bass. This video was very timely. Also, thanks for the kind words. I have about 8 more feet of corian if you need some.
That is sooooooooooooo cool ,love one and two stringers....Nicely done.
Looking clean and steardy, and thats the game of home made stuff ,there allways are surprises that you did not figure on ! we will be back to hear how she sounds !!
Thanks Danny Boy.
I would be proud as !$#@&(* if I build that!..even if it didn't do $#%^%$#. Nice job Man. Jesus was a carpenter ...supposably ...I wonder if he ever built a hemp box guitar for someone?...Jesus does have a since of humor ...supposably
Ha ha. Love the pun Uncle.
Cool and handsome instrument. You've got a handle on things.
Thanks Derek and Dave. I hope to get a sound clip up soon.
Very nice Poorness. I think sturdy is good! The addition of a neck brace is good. I’d have gone all the way from nut to tail with it. You may get a little “jack knife” action where your brace and body board meet. But maybe not. I’ve been using Cello strings and long shaft tuners with my attempts. They work great. And they are long enough for a 30 inch. I’ll love hearing your sound sample. :*)
