AGP #265 - ''Wondai Pick Handle'' - Rebuild

Not a new build, but a March 5 2017 rebuild, and a chance to use one of several small Cigar Boxes that have been gathering dust in the Shed for quite some time.
AGP #265 “Wondai Pick Handle”
1 String Fretless Diddley Bow
Scale: 25½ inches
String: .046NW - Tuned: A
The Aussie Hardwood Pick Handle was a Dumpster find in a small town called “Wondai”, a Small Cigar Box and a new Machine Head have been added, and the original 5k Single Coil Foil Pickup, was replaced with a 5k 4 String P Bass Single Coil Pup, wired through Vol and Tone Pots to the Output Jack. :-)

Forgot to mention 'UJ', that Wondai is the local aboriginal word for Wild Dog (Dingo) :-)

Sounds nice, AGP.  Thanks!.  I live in a town of 2000.  Just about the right size.

'UJ', Wondai is the name of small rural town we have been visiting on a regular basis for nearly 30 years, originally because my wife had several family members living there, they have since passed on or moved away, but we still visit there, and regard it as our Bush Getaway, it's a small neat Town, with a population abt 2,000 very friendly people, there are 3 Pubs and a Club all within abt 50 metres of each other, and the accommodation is rustic but cheap. :-D

"Thanks Bjorn", looking forward to seeing your one-string-thing :-)

I want to see that, Bjorn.  Alan, I wonder what wondai means.
