Having ignored several people's advice about truss rods and various ways of strengthening the neck, I'm a bit worried it might bend and snap at any moment, so that adds a bit of interest while playing!!!
I'm using a Boss RC-20 XL Loop Station

You are the queen of cigar box looping ❤ Long live the queen!

ha, cheers!

@airgunbubba2505 3 года назад

Woah!!! I love the sound it makes with the slide. Dark and swampy blues sound. Congrats on the build!

@bemuzic 3 года назад

Cheers, it was a fun and easy build :-)

@boden_gamerboy6139 2 года назад

@@bemuzic is it accoustic electric? or do i need to use my amp for it?

@shepherdcrow9971 8 месяцев назад

3 years later and I am still watching this clip !

@andyjones1936 11 лет назад

Just starting out on bass & followed a link from some guy playing Ravel on a 7 string bass, yours is so much more inspirational, thank you.

@sublime88sublime 11 лет назад

This is really awesome indeed. I was really feeling that jam you had. Take a look into a man by the name of Mark Sandman from the band Morphine. He is very well known for his application of the 2 stringed slide bass. Cheers from Boston!

@mikestaples9044 Год назад

Ha!! LOVED this. This was posted 11 years ago but it found a new listener today. Thank you.

@bemuzic Год назад

cheers..it amazes me that so many people have watched this video?!

@zarroncello1 10 лет назад

you're a genius! just for the amazing jam! 2 chords, a little bit of eletronic, and it seems like a group!

@bemuzic 10 лет назад

ha, thanks, yeah that loop pedal is great!

@danielpecheny 11 лет назад

Congratulations for all your work from building the instrument to playing it, showing how you make the loop adding sound, it shows how much you enjoy it, thanks for sharing it!

@ianainsworth7 11 лет назад

A bassline within a bassline. I like it.

@alfaomegaenergia 12 лет назад

it's always nice to see someone to play the music, and to play with the music. thanks for sharing your creations...

@rickhenry1833 2 года назад

Amazing job Lass ! ! I'm glad you went your own direction and didn't follow the other builders advice. All the Best !

@bemuzic 2 года назад

Cheers ☺️

@sherree10 12 лет назад

That's so cool. I love the way you make and play your instruments. Just watching you gives me a little hope. Thank you for sharing with us.

@truelokos 12 лет назад

The sound is awesome of your 2 string bass and the whole compass is outstanding. Great job!

@Photo4Corners 11 лет назад

Impressive, and it has a good tone too! I like the way you create background rhythm and lead bass tones into your composition, using a slide as well. Excellent!

@trackie1957 4 года назад

Love it! That creative journey is pretty much what I go through - one of the parts doesn't fit the original concept, change the concept! Nobody will know what you intended when you started, they only care how it looks and sounds in the end.

@bemuzic 4 года назад

Ha yes, that applies to both instruments and songs!

@Goatmanreturns 11 лет назад

The reason bassists use their index and middle (and sometimes ring) fingers is really just because you can play faster than just with your thumb. Great video by the way.

@wardone5 10 лет назад

Excellent execution. Design thought. Simplicity and talent. Great job. Especially the looping effects. Brilliant.

@bemuzic 10 лет назад

thanks!

@dummyguava 11 лет назад

I liked your rambling. I like how your plans and ideas changed - I've built a few cigar box guitars myself and enjoyed how I was never quite sure how they were going to end up. I might have to do a CBG bass now!

@pipercub45 8 лет назад

Stumbled across this video after watching a three string build. Fascinating! Thanks.

@RockStarOscarStern634 11 месяцев назад

It's basically a Rectangular Bodied version of Mark Sandman's Slide Bass.

I really enjoyed this entire video. Guitar is the coolest! Loved the info regarding strings...leaves me with that groovy..gotta grab my violin feeling...thanks guitar Bob for sharing it with me!

@waynedavies3185 Год назад

You did okay... Well done.

@buddytedesco9502 10 лет назад

You are solid core.....that was so awesome a demo....I'm duck taped to an aluminum pole spinning around backwards like a water wheel...and loving it....that was so awesome....

@bemuzic 10 лет назад

lol, thanks for your great comment : -)

@FestiveLongJohns24 11 лет назад

Wonderful, thank you for posting!

@WhatIsTheWheel 11 лет назад

Sounds great. I have been wanting to do a bass and hearing this one really helped motivate me. I like the feed back demo at the end. I always do a sound hole, but I am going to give a try without one after seeing this as feed back with the piezo can be trouble.

@depenthene 9 лет назад

Really nice distinctive sound.

@bemuzic 9 лет назад

thanks

@TheMrdhyde 4 года назад

Great build. Don't let anyone tell you how you should build your instrument . You learn from each build and get better with your very own style of creating. Your's will have a unique sound and life of it's own.

@bemuzic 4 года назад

Thanks, and yes I agree it's best to try things out for yourself. Even if it goes wrong you learn from it...

@doedesjel 11 лет назад

i don't know what to say girl.... you're a trip!!! keep up with your own soul and go! you rock girl!!

@CowboyX1000 11 лет назад

Nice job. In making these guitars there are no rules but plenty of advice. Great use of a loop pedal. I gotta get one of those. And cool discovery about feedback. The plug is simple and effective!

@charlesmarquardt4420 5 лет назад

I have built 6 CBG's , a lap steel and a ukulele . You have inspired me to build a CBG bass next !

@Lappu1984 11 лет назад

Wow that sounds amazing. Your instrument have a great soul, congratulations

@chrisosh9574 2 года назад

I love the sound of that, and the sink plug is genius. I found a nice wine box at a market over the weekend, I am thinking about trying a bass so thanks for posting this.

@bemuzic 2 года назад

Cheers, good luck with yours!

@bemuzic 12 лет назад

thanks, yeah a lot of the old blues guys did stuff with very few chords, but if it has the right feeling it works!

@arieswaters Год назад

Yes looper looper whoa baby we got to play now

@bemuzic 11 лет назад

thanks. I was using a Boss RC-20 XL and the amp was a Roland Bass Cube 30

@bemuzic 11 лет назад

thanks, I now have a Boss RC-30, but used to have an RC-20 XL which I was using for this.

@ProfessorZaitsev 10 лет назад

@bemuzic 10 лет назад

thanks : -)

@jspooner24013 11 лет назад

@rgerber 8 лет назад

My first selfmade guitar is a long-neck wood piece trough a cardboardbox with one nylon string. It sounds very rattling and warm. Perfect for hip hop type basslines ;)

@alleyjagger7184 11 лет назад

Hanx! I'm a new builder, (i built the ripoff of a vox in the photo) i toyed with the possibilty of a cigar box bass- and discovered your video! it sounds really cool!!! by the way, you don't ramble at all; it's quite nice to hear what someone is actually thinking without any pretense... cheers!

@WastelandSeven 11 лет назад

Very cool! And as to quote one fellow I heard in a tutorial say, "This is a cigar box guitar.../don't over think it!" And I think you do know what you're doing too ;) Good bass work, and good use of a loop pedal. And a nice tip on killing feedback! :D

@bemuzic 11 лет назад

yeah go for it, they're very therapeutic to play!! Good luck..

@Walksbythewaters 11 лет назад

Thank you,Too Kool,from down South

@FelinousPUnCoolest 11 лет назад

Well, I guess that makes it another good example of how a simple build can last - if you do the essential bits right, it works and lasts if taken care of (and that's true of any instrument regardless of build and ability)

@karniboy6549 8 лет назад

nice playing!!! cool bass!

@mickyboy1955 10 лет назад

Bloody great,you lovely woman,you!.I love the fact you made the thing and had fun playing it.More power to your finger picking elbow..

@brarunasunburn7794 11 лет назад

Sound really nice,and looks same,is the first video that i saw with the advertising at the beginnig to skip the talk part but i really enjoy your talk :D good luck with your neck without truss rod,the sound is very distinctive and unique

sooooo awesome!!!!

@TheRealSilkyJohnson 11 лет назад

@leobluesy 6 лет назад

Great job...... As soon as you start picking a bass..... it does help your ears to tune into lower notes and feel whats going on.......... Leoooo

@bemuzic 11 лет назад

cheers. The scale is 30" and it has a rod piezo which is in the saddle, sandwiched between two pieces of wood. They seem to work well compared to the disc ones, but need some downward pressure on them to work best..
