Thanks UJ!

It's tuned EAD with LaBella Low Tension Flats, .100, .75, .56

I'd really recommend at least 3 strings for bass. That allows you to play complete scales in one position, lets you slap octaves and makes it much easier to play a lot of iconic bass lines. 

As for tuning, keep in mind that you're going to be playing single notes so open tuning doesn't offer any advantage (and probably a disadvantage). EAD is great for playing in G.

Nice wood on the finger board and nice looking head stock.

What strings and tuning?    If I were to make a two or three string bass, what tuning would be best for playing in G?  I bough a LOT of assorted strings a while back in bulk and have some regular bass strings and some short scale silicone strings.
