  • Great!!!! Thanks Dan!!! I'm reading through all the posts I can find on here to gather all the info on CBBG's I can. Really like to make a two string as a first project. Just saw some from Blind Gee too that look great.

    Thank you once again!

    BTW

  • ah  ..  i  was debating  the      practacality  of  a  making  a  flush     fretless   bass  .. and / or   if  it  would  work  well  .

  • The neck sits about 1/4 inch above the lid.

    The lid, by the way, is a sliding lid, so I had to do some creative building.

  • is that   neck   flush  to  the  box   or    a   bit higher ?

     

  • The scale length is 30 inches. I don't recall the box size exactly, but I think it was along the lines of 13x9x5. It is a neck through, so the total neck length is roughly 39 inches or so. I don't remember how many frets, however many are in the picture! LOL.

    I used the A and D strings from a bass set, and the neck is attached to the lid with a couple of screws.

  • nice!

  • Hey Dan, beautiful bass! Exactly what I'm wanting to build and am looking for all the info and tips I can get as there doesn't seem to be a lot of 2 string bass guitars on here. Any chance you can give me info on your bass?

    Total neck length?

    Box size?

    Which strings did you use?

    How many frets?

    Neck to box attachment?

    Any info would be awesome!

    Thanks!

    BTW

  • Looks like a success!
