This is my first Wine box bass. Plywood neck, spruce top, door hinge tailpiece, lipstick pickup. Rotosound nylon flat wound strings. Sounds thumpin' deep and low!

Thanks Lou! That is the first of 5 so far. After building that one, I got orders for more, a couple record producers and a bassist from Scotland. One of my customers went straight to the studio and re-recorded all his bass tracks because he wanted an upright sound and didn't have one nor could he play one! Thanks again for the kind words.

That neck really goes with it well, nice lines all around, great build.

Hello! The strings are nylon tape wound over a steel core. They feel GREAT! They make the bass sound almost like an upright fretless.
