I'm playing a one string spirit level bass diddley bow that I made in 2012. I bought the spirit level for £1 from the back of an antique shop and the string was left over from another build. The most I spent was on the pick up a flatpup “Diddley Bug” For more details and links have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbthoy3G5Es

The loop pedal is an Electroharmonix22500, and the amp is a Roland Cube-30 Bass.

Comment by bemuzic on August 5, 2020 at 10:45pm: Thanks Danny, those old levels are very strong and just asking to have strings put on! It did feel a bit wrong cutting into it, though it could still be used as a level...
