Played out last night with the weed wacker cigar box bass I made. So many people couldn’t believe the strings were actual weed trimmer line. Sounded great too.

you can  use i the springs on a 4 string too . by stretching the spring out differently on each.  but . ya kinda gotta  "tune"  each to length .(pain in the  a@@)  but .. only gotta do it once   ;-)

cool..  here's a tip . (more for one string  weed wacker basses ) .

If you want to use a mag pickup ,  slip a metal  pen spring over the string , Place it  right where  it meets the pickup .  you can crimp the ends to help it stay in place if needed .

Does anyone else kind of think debut is a funny word.   Looking good, Dean.  I bet you and the whacker sounded the same.
