Pro tip.A 2 string bass i pretty useless.This one was ordered by a highly acclaimed bass player who has played on records that together must have sold over 2 million. I did ask, a few times, are you sure you don't want three? But he was adamant.So I made it.
The tailpiece is a bit of the stuff you buy from hardware to stop wear on the leading edge of carpeted stairs.You can find a lot of very good stuff in that section, Most of it isn't ferrous so you need to run a wire to ground the bridge, Looks pretty though.

Oh...the covers are just a plastic glued over the pickups as a cover.
I was at least as much into making them look good as I was into making them sound good.
Boots hung up. If you see a Blind Gee, it is one of 38. Your kids might be one of those OMG moments on Antiques Roadshow!
Har! Not!

Ta. Pickup covers, headstock veneer etc are scratchplate plastic. I use carpet strip for tailpieces.
Great box! And where did you get those cool red plates? And what is that tail piece?
Good looking build!
