Wow! This looks great. How is it tuned and what are the string gauges? Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

You wouldn't be the Ed Strauss who use to live in Reno NV, would you? Great looking bass what string did you use?

Sweet!!!

This is awesome and beautiful. I can see yer piezoelectric under the bridge. Do you get better bass outside the box? What're you stringing this with? You have bridge cables on there!

I'm a Bass player, who naturally picked up on the 3 and 4 string CBGs. :-) My playing falls into some class in between bass and simple leads. I have been using heavy-gauge, flat-wound jazz guitar strings from Thomastik - the George Benson signature strings.
