- Hello guys! Today I'd like to show you my new custom 2 string Punk bass made by Kevien Siebold - Krappy Guitars. It's more a sound test, presentation than a review.
35 inch scale, 24 frets, neck through. One pickup, one volume control. And that's actually everything I can tell you about it. SPECS Below. It's not a great instrument, not even good but it's a lot of fun. Just a gimmick made out from and old table, I suppose. I saw it in for the first time in the video of Davie504 so I decided to have my own one. Pigotello loves it. If you've got a bass synth like Future Impact by Panda Audio this bass can be really funky too!
You can find more about it on their site - krappyguitars.com
I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for your support!
SPECS:
Body: probably an old table, unknown woods
Neck-through-body construction
Neck profile: thick D in a way
24 medium frets
Scale: 35"
Tuners: the cheapest ones you can find on eBay
Bridge: unknown not fixed kind of bridge
Pickup: unknown
Finish: absolutely no finish
Price: $105

Kevin taught me bass and started my music career at 12 !!!! Been jamming since . Thanks Kevin !
Awesome! Keep on grooving! 😊
I love how every sentence you used to describe the bass sounded like it had a question mark after it.
Ha ha! Thanks! I'm glad you noticed that. Hope you enjoy some other videos on my channel. Have a great day!
What I think... I own one. Mine uses a Triple Omega Alembic body style. 2 strings. Fretted to the 12th fret. Fretless from the 12th fret up. Thanks Kevin for a really Krappy Bass that I love to death! I love their work.
Thanks for your comment. Yeah, they're krappy but awesome too. Have a great weekend!
Great sound!
Absolutely! Especially because it's a krappy bass.
Very cool!!
Thanks!
That bass is the krappiest thing I've ever seen.
And I fucking love it.
Yeah! I kind of already fell in love with this krappy thing!
awesome bass
I agree. It's not that krappy. Thanks for watching, Dennis! 🤗
Tres funky!
Merci beaucoup! 🤗
@@adamgordon From where did this bass come from? I enjoyed hearing it!

Kevin is very friendly and helpful.
Love it!
Thanks! I'm glad you do! 😊
It's mine, after I get finished with their Punk Rod.
Greetings from The Netherlands. I love the sound you get out of that thing. I like to make electric Cigar Box Guitars. A few days ago, I found some really good quality 4cm/1.6" thick pieces of hardwood kitchen countertop. Someone had thrown them out with the garbage 😱. I know, some people are nuts. This stuff is seriously expensive 💲💲💲!! These are substantial chunks of wood 😲. The first thing that crossed my mind was, *slide two string bass* , *Mark Sandman style* . So I've dragged these very expensive pieces of refuse home. There's enough for one bass body and two good sized butcher's blocks - fantastic eh 😃!
Seeing you play that, *Punk bass* from *Krappy Guitars* has motivated me even more to do this thing. I've a nice *Warman P Bass Stealth* pickup doing nothing and plenty maple for necks. Looking forward to putting this together. It should be a fun project 🤪.
Hey Andy. Thanks for telling me about your craftmanship. It must be fun for sure. Please let me know how your project goes.
Moreover, why don't you check out some other videos on my channel if you haven't got a chance? Thanks for your support! :)
@@adamgordon Thanks 😃. Yeah, I'll do that and I've subscribed to your channel. This'll be the first solid body instrument I'll have built. I build everything with Japanese hand tools, with the exception of a jigsaw, hand drill, and a bench press drill. I build this way deliberately. I find the finished instruments take on a character that's totally unique. I know, it's probably just me being daft 🤣. This project is going to have a whole new set of challenges for me - great stuff 😃!
Awesome. I can't wait to see the result. :)
Great video. So on a purely technical level, what’s the review? Does it keep tuning? How’s the intonation? Etc.
Hey Tom. It's rather a sound test. There's not much to review really. As for the tuning - it doesn't stay in tune too long. There's no truss rod, no fixed bridge. Sounds pretty decent as for a krappy guitar. Frets slightly stick out so I had to soften the edges up quite a but. Its neck is chunky and not really comfortable. I would consider it more as a gimmick than a real instrument. So don't complain about the general quality, even the maker says it's not supposed to be a well built thing. It's still a fun thing to play. Hope that helps a bit.
Thanks for checking out my video. I really appreciate your support! Stay safe!
diggin' the Herbie Hancock vibe you had going on
Juan Huang Lo Thanks Juan! I love Herbie!
Sounds funky! It's amazing what mankind can do some wood, and a ball of string.
Are you sure this is a 35 inch scale? The website states a 34 inch scale. I've only owned a couple basses that actually had a 35 inch scales. They were 5 and 6 string basses because that low B benefited from the longer scale length.
Kevin made me a 35 inch version. I measured it by the way.
You didnt demo the punk ...I was waiting for that..I dig that bass tho
Thank you John. This bass name is Punk Bass literally so it's more like not playing jazz on Fender Jazz Bass. But I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you'd like to support me - please check out some other videos and subscribe to my channel (with clicking the bell). It helps me a lot. Thank you in advance! 🤗
Great for learning on. Also good for challenging yourself. The man that invented rock and roll Bo Dudley ( yeah not Elvis or Buddy Holley) learned on an instrument made from a 2x4, a piece of wire, and a beer bottle. Look up the diddley bo. Hence his stage name.
Thanks for watching! Yes, it is challenging but pretty cool and looks cooler on stage than my Jazz Bass. Stay safe!
3kg?
3 string cbg is fun also
I was going to buy one of these but I bought a $50 used bass off of marketplace and just removed two strings
It's always an option. But Krappy Guitars are rather unique. Stay safe! 🤗
I have one of these! I had Kevin put the pickup in the "neck" position instead. It's a whole lot of fun, sounds great, even plays pretty well. No truss rod, and a very "square" neck (not as uncomfortable as it sounds) with the strap button installed right on the back of the neck to avoid oil-derrick syndrome (also not as uncomfortable as it sounds). Cost is around 3 tanks of gasoline, plus shipping, and he'll do WHATEVER you want: 1 string, 2, 3, fretted, fretless, et cetera. There's a basic a la carte menu on the site, but you'll have to have direct contact with Kevin before he quotes you a price. Tuning for the 2-string is generally EA; I named mine "Money" because there's nothing but money notes on this bass! Very happy customer: www.krappyguitars.com
It's a nice thing to have, right? I plan to order next one soon once I make some videos with it. Thanks for your comment and support. Really appreciate it!
Sounds like a bass!!!!!
It does! I'm surprised too. 😁
Well, as someone who taught myself goth bass on a £30 ex schoolkids guitar.. that one’s probably a) a step up and b) twice as complicated as I need
That’s awesome! 😃
Sure is a krappy bass lol. Just ordered one myself. I dig it
Thanks Matt. Please let me know when you get it. I'd like to hear your opinion. Stay safe! 🤗
I want one lol
Then get yourself one. Kevin will help you out with further decisions. :)

Why
Please im waiting for the Argentinian song
It'd be pretty hard to perform every part they performed but I will try in the future. Thanks for your support.
I have a 2 strings bass
Cool! Do you enjoy playing it?
@@adamgordon Yes! I made it three years ago. I started to think horizontally (about scales) and used "less is more" style.😉
@@tiagos.a.miguel1473 Cool! That's right. Less is more and you can be groovy even with one string. Take care! 🐷
