<p>So the great thing about these contests is it forces me to finish projects that I had all good intentions to do….so this is a standup bass made from a 2x4 stud with a wine box as a body. The 2x4 runs all the way though and I used a blade guard from a 1950s table saw for the headstock cause it goods awesome and works out great. I used eye bolts for the tuners with wing nuts to secure tuning, The slots in the saw guard work out good with spacing for the tuners…An added feature is the point at the end of the base for sticking in the sand at the beach modeled after the Poke-u-lelle from the 60s…the pickup is a 60s Harmony gold foil pickup that is very microphonic and picks up the bass tones well as well as thumb plucks! The wine box is a study Opus One box that I scrolled out an f hole…..The rusty gold tailpiece I pulled from an old 50s kay guitar……</p>

<p>Its just a bracket that screws to the wall to insert other brackets that hold shelves. Basically a piece of 5/8 channel that is non adjustable and strengthens the neck against bowing. There's a picture in this video. <a href="http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/2x4-explorer" target="_blank">2x4 Build</a></p>
