Cigar Box Bass

The largest cigar box I've ever seen! (thanks Louie) This one has different gauge weedwhacker strings plus a plastic coated clothesline for the low E string. Not a lot of sound acoustically but the the piezo bridge through a pre amp has a good thump. Listen with headphones for the true sound of this bass.

Freakin awesome! He's gonna love it!!!

[@morbanjo2503]

Thanks Lou. Turned out pretty well.

[@loulamanna567]

Interested in what you did for the interior bracing. Glad you used those strings too!

[@morbanjo2503]

@@loulamanna567 I should have taken some pictures. Basically used spruce bracing for the top and bottom and hardwood bracing at the ends of the box. I may have over braced since I had visions of the box folding in the middle. Seems like it's holding pretty well.

[@loulamanna567]

Nice!

[@heiditaylor6206]

Okay your instruments are AWESOME!! it would be so coolest thing ever to me to see a boxed instrument string orchestra.

[@morbanjo2503]

Thank you. Not quite ab orchestra, but this is from a CD we made using these instruments. ua-cam.com/video/A_U7qoq4A5c/v-deo.htmlsi=_qYOEDnxbOD94GNg

[@MaxcoreyMusic]

Did you copy the scale and measurements from another bass, or was there a template you used?

[@morbanjo2503]

I pretty much used the scale length of a 3/4 upright bass.

[@windycat5755]

You have a very pleasant voice! And what is this song? The instrument is just great!

[@52lefty]

Is there any chance I could get one of those left-handed? PLEASE

[@jcorwin196]

Ever consider selling one?
