Hi I saw a great 2 string bass on you tube yesterday by a bloke called mc trustry, it sounded so good. Now I want to make one. But not sure of length or size of strings. As anyone some ideas, thanks Jim B

yeah Mark I'm trying!

I'm sorry you missed it, it was a good show. Lots of support after the local paper did a feature 'bout me & the cigar box guitars. It drew lots of support.

I've been jamming on harmonica tonight with the 'Unusual Suspects' and think it might have opened a few doors for cigar boxes in the area?

Hi there all, I played at the Newark Blues Festival yesterday. A good gig with -as ever- huge interest in the cigar box guitars and the movement plus the packing crate box/drum. And I got paid, so I had a cider.

My cousin's first album. No CBG's but if you like acoustic singer songwriter stuff check it out, and share if you like it : -)

Stephen (previously Brickdust) and ourselves, 3 Chords & A Lie, will be playing with Jesus Hooligan (Water Butt based home made percussion) at this night that we run slightly further east into London than is fashionable:  https://www.facebook.com/events/155841224619665/?fref=ts
