My last git had two sound holes on the front of the box but for my new one i want to put image on the box and no matter what way i put soundholes on the front counting the bridge pickup and holes its guna cover up too much of my image!

i have seen the soundholes on some gits not on the front of box but on the side mainly the side that points to your face! if i did it like that id have more room for image on front of box.

my question is will it take away from the sound acustically from the git?

any help appreciated in advance!

Belinda is using a rod piezo under the saddle on that bass, as she points out in the video.

Feedback like this is common for acoustic upright bass instruments with a piezo somewhere on the bridge.  There's an inside joke about cutting up flip flops to fill the F holes of the bass to prevent the feedback that is demonstrated at the end of the video.

A lot of bass players EQ this out with a narrow pass filter or stuff a rag in the afterlength of the strings and the top beyond the bridge.  So that might lead to the source of the feedback.

Eff-holes.

I know off topic but... I really dig the stuff she does with her looper pedal.  I have watched several of her videos (this one included) in the past. 

Dito, she has some great stuff!

yup  , Belinda  is  responsible    for   a good  chunk  of     members  joining  here  . 

I bet. My one daughter watches her videos frequently. She was quite dismayed when she could not make the same sounds :)

One of the UK'ers I would have like to have met on my frequent business trips, but paths never crossed.  It was funny one afternoon when I was sitting on the bank of the River Cam and a guy riding a bike with a banjo strapped to his back stopped to listen to me play my CBG and chat.  He says, "you don't happen to know Belinda, do you?"

we  had  fun  with   this  a  while ago  ..
