3 String Fretless Wine Box Bass

I made this for a friend who wanted a 3 string bass. It uses the E, A, and D strings. There's a piezo pickup under the top with a volume knob. It has decent tone and volume acoustically and sounds great amplified. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Blessed Yule, and Happy Holidays to all!

Also, my oldest daughter and i are the only one's in my family who can whistle tunes. I hear her whistling tunes through the house all the time.
You whistle very well.

That's freakin' great

[@Michaelzaermusic]

Looks awesome. What's your opinion on a fretless guitar? I play the majority of my music on the low strings, tuned to low tunings. Would fretless be a good route for me?

[@morbanjo2503]

I think that could work for single notes or maybe two notes at a time. Chording on a fretless guitar may be difficult.

[@RevvyTone]

Great sound!

[@morbanjo2503]

Thanks!
