I Built a 3 String Bass Guitar from a DIY Kit from CBGitty.com

[@Keith-rk4td]

I make small washtub basses out of Giant bean cans. And now building one out of a big popcorn tin bucket. I use a flexible 3D printer filament for a string.🤘🤠🤘

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

That sounds cool, M~

[@Rich2481]

had mine for a few years, didnt even think of painting it, yours look so cool...

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Its not TOO late. 😎

[@ronward2693]

Nice I like the string mod.

[@BlackHoleForge]

2:32 holy crap they come with the frets already.... Man that would be a game-changer for me.

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Yup Yup, fully fretted 😎

KZbin put a commercial perfectly in time with you changing hats! Lol! Couldn’t have done a better job! I dig the Bass, it’s on my list to build one, as soon as I get #2 & #3 guitars built. Appreciate your videos, I’m happy to see you’re back (missed you for a bit) Enjoy!

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thank you, Johnny. Good luck with #2 and #3. Its VERY hard to build JUST one lol I'm back in the saddle again :)

[@garymenhusen8077]

Looks great and sounds great too. May have to try one of those. Thank you for the video Michael

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thank you, Gary. Its a fun build. M~

[@vacustoms]

[@rparker120]

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks, Its a fun build. M~

[@randyn1137]

Great assembly job, looks and sounds great.

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks Randy. M~

[@graysaw]

Great sound! You need to loop that into some of your Swamp Boogie!

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks. Sounds like a great idea.

[@forces48]

Look good !

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks. 😎

[@mike_reves]

Love it!

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks!!

[@garyhightower7504]

great build

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks Gary.

[@jefferymills6481]

Nice

[@BlackHoleForge]

For me the favorite part about making a guitar, is choosing what to make it out of. So far I've done cigar boxes, ammo boxes, and I think the next one's going to be a shovel or a mattock.

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

I agree, I'd like to do a shovel guitar. M~

[@graysaw]

Pretty nice kit neck!

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks, It is nice. M~

[@nnwelch5295]

It really sounds good, even through a guitar amp! Plug that baby into an svt and I bet it will sound great!

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks, Yeah, I may have to get a bass amp now lol

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

"Can you build me a cigar box bass?" Channeling and paraphrasing Texas Toast Guitars Matt: "DO IT YOURSELF! That's what I did!" 😉

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Yes, that's my new answer. 😄

[@Crosshatch1212]

I just built my frst cbg carry case airbrushed it up ,

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Sounds cool. M~

[@PINEPUPPY]

Another excellent video Michael. Great audio ( who was that band?), good editing, and of course, an excellent job on the bass build. Really impressed with the sound even from your guitar amp. What did you finish the neck with? Came out really nice. Fun!!

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks Pine. Now sure of the band, its a music selection through my Video editing program. I used a spray gloss lacquer

[@Thomatech66]

Great idea, the makeup brush from your wife😅 Still love your finish! Do you paint a first layer black paint and then a hole layer of green paint and then destress with sandpaper? Greetings, Thomas

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thank you Thom. Yes, on the finish. 😎

[@oimate4201]

Looking good. It’d be great if there was a busker kit for the bass as well. Does anyone know how much that kit squelches the overall volume and tone of the busker guitar vs if it had no speakers mounted to the soundboard?

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks, not sure on that one

[@brianking5092]

Nice. I like the body color/finish. What scale is this bass?

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Thanks Brian. Its a 30'' scale.
