Hey, that thing sounds pretty good.

It needs roundwounds.

That neck looks a bit unstable....No wonder he has only 2 strings on it!

"i made this upright bass out of a cardboard box, scrap oak flooring, weedwhacker twine, and 2 spiggot handles as tuners."

Priceless.

hey ... maybe I can do a 5-2-2 conversion ... where do I find a 2 string bridge?

He needs some work on his intonation...

That was too cool ! My wife ( a bass junky ) had a great laugh and loved it !

Ha-ha, that's cool! I think i know who also needs this kind of instrument.

But does it come in Fireglo?

Only if you get it too close to the wood stove!

And if you stay there long enough, that'll turn JetGlo. Methinks.

or fireglo ...

He needs to work on his timing . . . however, I must say that, for a bass made out of junk and scrap, it sounds very good. I'd take a go on it.

I'd like to see Victor Wooten play it....
It would probably break!

I don't need my Ric basses any more
