Hi everyone!
Ok - video by next week as I am modifying the bass. It is a real monster. I wanted it to be as authentic as possible so I actually bought double bass tuners $$$ and real double bass strings $$$! the scale length is 40inches as per spec. You could make yours an inch or two longer but the strings are not fully wound from ball end to tip of the string! so be aware of that physical limit before building or heartache will follow. good luck building the granddaddy of all CBGs. If i had the project to do again I would go the washtub or much bigger box. There is a youtube video of a cardboard box 2 string fretless and just like the original the sound box needs to be as big as poss!!
