I made a simple cbg 3 string bass a while back. Could not play it much, but a bass player said it was pretty good and told me what needed improvement. I did the improvements. I intend to give it to a different bass player, but have not gotten that done yet.

Right now, I am messing too much with builds and not playing as much as I should.

I wanted to make it headless. During an experimental run I strung it up with some Weed eater string that I had around the house. It sounded pretty good. I am going to rub Tung oil it over the next few nights and hook up my pezo and jack and it should be ready to go. I can’t wait to hear what it sounds like when I’m done. Have a great day.

At 1:02pm on March 8, 2010, HERMIT said…: This box is in for a shock cause im gonna rip off the top and replace it with an old securicor sign and maybe put a single coil hot rail in to beef things up ?
and yes i was going for a early east anglian sutton hoo type helm but this will change to a type of closed helm, id also like to make a pigface bascinet or sallet helm.
but having only 24 hours in a day is a major set back(i must try harder to win the lottery)

At 4:33am on March 8, 2010, HERMIT said…: Cheers fella for the kind words
Its actually a harrods fish knife set i was kindly given by my lovely mother in law.
the helm is just another one of my first try outs (ran out of rivets)
maybe i should build a cbg in shining armour if i joust had the time?

I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
