Smoked Salmon - 3 String Bass Guitar

I have had this “Smoked Salmon” box laying around for years. I wanted to make a larger scale instrument and this box was perfect!! This build presented several challenges that caused me to have to pause and really think things through. I hope you enjoy the video 😜

Hej Del, if the bass had not been so awesome, the cutie dog would have stolen the entire show! ;) Great job as usual and fat sound!! 👌

[@-jank-willson]

You could use a big box like that to make a lap dulcimer as well!

[@JakubM26]

Heyyy, you have inspired me to build my own cigar box guitar but I didn’t have any boxes so I’m making my own. Love the videos🙂

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

awesome!!!! 🤩

[@lolitawilson4970]

😂Puckett you Besides God, you make my Day!!!😊

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

blasphemy 😂

[@mitchellwoodham28]

"It's all about the bass... 'bout the bass." 😂 I told a famous actor friend of mine (who plays the bass) about your build. I'm sure he'll appreciate your talents just as I do. Beautiful build!!!

[@bernadettefaure561]

I love this guitar! Emailed you about this

[@ericshaffer9823]

This just in..."Size matters"! Great growly sound too! 🎉

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

heheheee… yup!! 😉

[@williamgroemminger6006]

That's outrageous Del. What a great sound. Thanks for the really big show.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

you’re welcome “Bigley” 🥸

[@lemontoad87360]

[@hotsaucecigarboxkitchen]

Super Baritone Awesome!

[@scottyonbass4003]

Nice job, buddy! I can't wait to see it in person in a couple of weeks! 🙂

[@brickch4pel]

Been considering making a bass to match my guitar and wow! Cigar box basses really do sound as nice as cigar box guitars

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

heheheee you’re right !! 😎👍🏽

[@darthtater4655]

I had a dog named Mojo. She was a black pug. Loved that dog.

[@Jonathan_Brose]

Amazing! You're a ruge inspiration. We have 9 dogs like Mojo living with us.

[@williamsinclair9841]

A timely video Del. I have a big box that a friend wants me to use. It's too big for a "normal" guitar scale length: can't get enough downward pressure on the bridge. I decided a short scale bass at 30 inches would maybe work. You've given me a sonic target. Thanks!

[@johnwashburn3793]

Those springs sound great! Keep you top screwed on.

[@danbgt]

BFB! Big Fish Bass! (Base. Not bass.) 😂 That thing sounds great! Love it. Love your videos. 👍

[@klauspenczek4247]

Great build!👍

[@erichowe9019]

I did a 30 in. once. I used a scorpion box with a p90 and Single Coil.

[@sramz100]

shoulda sprang for a Fishman pickup! Awesome build, great video 👍👍

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

heheheee… and maybe some pink tunas ??

[@normanroberts6680]

BFB FOR SURE.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

BFB ?? could go either way… 😜

[@marcd1981]

Hi Del, thank you very much for showing your build and playing it for us. I have a question regarding playing chords on a CBG. I recently purchased my first CBG from a local guy I met at the county fair. He had a booth set up, and several cool looking and sounding CBGs. I have seen several people on KZbin play their CBG similarly to a regular electric guitar, using all three strings to play chords, having their fingers on each string, one at a time, and the chords sound great, just like you played here. My question is this, is it that much harder to play chords on a CNG compared to a regular electric guitar? Because the "high" string (thinner string) is very difficult to play on the one I bought when playing chords. I can pick the string individually, and when using a slide, but to play a chord using two or three strings is very difficult. Thanks again, Marc

[@markcox9339]

My dog can hear your dog it’s funny

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

that’s awesome

[@FantaconeBoxWorks]

I missed this build... what's the thickest string that fits normal tuners? Did your friends bass build with the 100 string need "bass" tuners?

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

yes we used traditional bass tuners 🥸

[@edgelite]

The bass version of your shirt. 4 strings are 3 strings too many. 😂

[@larrytaylor6192]

Sounds good on C is the neck still 1.5 inches or is it alittle wider?

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

1.5… same as it ever was 🥸

[@larrytaylor6192]

Just looks a little bigger with that large box

[@stevepethel6843]

SUSTAIN. .........
