Having ignored several people's advice about truss rods and various ways of strengthening the neck, I'm a bit worried it might bend and snap at any moment, so that adds a bit of interest while playing!!!
I'm using a Boss RC-20 XL Loop Station

You are the queen of cigar box looping ❤
Long live the queen!
ha, cheers!
Woah!!! I love the sound it makes with the slide. Dark and swampy blues sound. Congrats on the build!
Cheers, it was a fun and easy build :-)
@@bemuzic is it accoustic electric? or do i need to use my amp for it?
3 years later and I am still watching this clip !
This is really awesome indeed. I was really feeling that jam you had. Take a look into a man by the name of Mark Sandman from the band Morphine. He is very well known for his application of the 2 stringed slide bass. Cheers from Boston!
Just starting out on bass & followed a link from some guy playing Ravel on a 7 string bass, yours is so much more inspirational, thank you.
Ha!! LOVED this. This was posted 11 years ago but it found a new listener today. Thank you.
cheers..it amazes me that so many people have watched this video?!
you're a genius! just for the amazing jam!
2 chords, a little bit of eletronic, and it seems like a group!
ha, thanks, yeah that loop pedal is great!
Amazing job Lass ! ! I'm glad you went your own direction and didn't follow the other builders advice. All the Best !
Cheers ☺️
Congratulations for all your work from building the instrument to playing it, showing how you make the loop adding sound, it shows how much you enjoy it, thanks for sharing it!
The sound is awesome of your 2 string bass and the whole compass is outstanding. Great job!
Love it! That creative journey is pretty much what I go through - one of the parts doesn't fit the original concept, change the concept! Nobody will know what you intended when you started, they only care how it looks and sounds in the end.
Ha yes, that applies to both instruments and songs!
Impressive, and it has a good tone too! I like the way you create background rhythm and lead bass tones into your composition, using a slide as well. Excellent!
That's so cool. I love the way you make and play your instruments. Just watching you gives me a little hope. Thank you for sharing with us.
it's always nice to see someone to play the music, and to play with the music. thanks for sharing your creations...
Always good to see you, and hear you play, B !

+Rusty Case cheers : -)
I liked your rambling. I like how your plans and ideas changed - I've built a few cigar box guitars myself and enjoyed how I was never quite sure how they were going to end up. I might have to do a CBG bass now!
Excellent execution. Design thought. Simplicity and talent. Great job. Especially the looping effects. Brilliant.
thanks!
I really enjoyed this entire video. Guitar is the coolest! Loved the info regarding strings...leaves me with that groovy..gotta grab my violin feeling...thanks guitar Bob for sharing it with me!
Stumbled across this video after watching a three string build. Fascinating! Thanks.
Inspired. And inspiring. I'm going to try and make a cigar box bass! Really excellent stuff - and the looping is great. Thanks!
AMAZING !!! nice video , I love the way you play your bass!!
A bassline within a bassline. I like it.
Utterly Brilliant :-) Excellent choice of song too
Sounds great. I have been wanting to do a bass and hearing this one really helped motivate me. I like the feed back demo at the end. I always do a sound hole, but I am going to give a try without one after seeing this as feed back with the piezo can be trouble.
Wow what a fantastic sound.Really loved it thank you
I love it... Good job looping too.
sounds really cool. Thanks for all the background info too.
cheers
Sweet jam. Makes me want to go into the garage right now!
+Toe knee cheers...do it!!
This is fabulous. You rock.
I love the sound of that, and the sink plug is genius.
I found a nice wine box at a market over the weekend, I am thinking about trying a bass so thanks for posting this.
Cheers, good luck with yours!
You are very talented. Keep up the good work!
Ultra cool!! I'm gonna try out this type of repeat recorder too!
That is fantastic. Really great sound.
You are solid core.....that was so awesome a demo....I'm duck taped to an aluminum pole spinning around backwards like a water wheel...and loving it....that was so awesome....
lol, thanks for your great comment : -)
Wow that sounds amazing. Your instrument have a great soul, congratulations
Hey, i just got around to listening to your album on Bandcamp. Keep at it, and be proud of what you'd done - it's lovely stuff :D
Inspired and inspiring work!
+Chris Wilkinson cheers
I have built 6 CBG's , a lap steel and a ukulele . You have inspired me to build a CBG bass next !
Great build. Don't let anyone tell you how you should build your instrument . You learn from each build and get better with your very own style of creating. Your's will have a unique sound and life of it's own.
Thanks, and yes I agree it's best to try things out for yourself. Even if it goes wrong you learn from it...
That's some badass sound! Great!
Glad I found this, very nice.
cheers
wonderful sound!
nice playing!!! cool bass!
Great project. Well done. Thank you.
cheers, it was a fun build :-)
you rock Miss ,I'm totally amazed your way of playing and style ,respect,and also want to tell you just did a good job ,
thanks a lot JP : -)
DUDE! That is SO cool!
Really nice distinctive sound.
thanks
Nice job. In making these guitars there are no rules but plenty of advice. Great use of a loop pedal. I gotta get one of those. And cool discovery about feedback. The plug is simple and effective!
Great job, sounds great! Keep um coming! Very cool.
+William Samek cheers
TOUCH OF THE SLITS ... LOVE IT !
Impressive, and it has a good tone too!
I have to say, as soon as you got out the slide and played a couple notes... my face lit up....sounded amazing!
thanks : -)
very impressive Ms, cheers!
Cool!! nice little impro too.
I've always loved the Bass and this Chic knows how to bang it. I think I' m gonna give it a try and build my own. You are fantastic !
Very cool! And as to quote one fellow I heard in a tutorial say, "This is a cigar box guitar.../don't over think it!" And I think you do know what you're doing too ;) Good bass work, and good use of a loop pedal. And a nice tip on killing feedback! :D
Very cool. Sounds great.
Nice work. Will have to add one to my collection.
thanks : -)
thanks, I now have a Boss RC-30, but used to have an RC-20 XL which I was using for this.
this made my morning
cool, glad to have cheered someone up on a Weds morning : -)
That’s fantastic! Tks for sharing!
Cheers
This is the good stuff right here.
Wonderful, thank you for posting!
Nice, well played and an interesting demo of an unusual instrument, thank you...
cheers
Hanx! I'm a new builder, (i built the ripoff of a vox in the photo) i toyed with the possibilty of a cigar box bass- and discovered your video! it sounds really cool!!! by the way, you don't ramble at all; it's quite nice to hear what someone is actually thinking without any pretense... cheers!
I never thought about building a cigar box bass before! I really like yours! You're pretty good with that looper too! I just got one and tried it once. For me, it's harder than it looks! Gonna take some practice to get it right. Thanks for the video. Sounded cool!👍😎🎸🎶
cheers, yeah I use the looper a lot. Very useful when busking on your own...It does take a bit of practice. I did this video about getting started with looping ruclips.net/video/9WHl7E6xAic/видео.html
@@bemuzic I'll have to check it out...thanks a lot! I need all the help I can get!😂
you really rock!!! i wanna make one of these!
I love it, this slide ring an awesome idea :)
Sound really nice,and looks same,is the first video that i saw with the advertising at the beginnig to skip the talk part but i really enjoy your talk :D good luck with your neck without truss rod,the sound is very distinctive and unique
that was facckking awesome.... nicely done.
thanks : -)
You did okay... Well done.
congrats!
Great job 👍
Great, informative and well spoken intro-scription.
I'm gonna' hafta' get me a few of those rod piezos from CB Gitty.
Great sound you're gettin' outa' that thing, Wow !
You are the RC-20 Queen ! hhehehe This is Fantastic !!!
Nice work Belinda. :-))
Looper fun!! Sounds very good!!
wow great sound !!!
You are amazing and inspiring.
cool...roll on Spring and warmer weather! I braved the garage for a bit today to finish a 3 stringer I've been making : -)
Nice job, keep going!
Nice build!
thanks
WOW! So talented and way to modest. Thank you.
Cheers
Loved it! 10 ,out 10!
cheers : -)
yeah go for it, they're very therapeutic to play!! Good luck..
i don't know what to say girl.... you're a trip!!! keep up with your own soul and go! you rock girl!!
Very cool! Love that twangy sound and thet Delta blues vibe, too. Doesn't have that annoying nasally mwah sound most fretless electrics have, either. Plus it even looks cool. Great job.
thanks : -)
If you've never heard of a now-defunct band called "Morphine", look them up on youtube. The singer played a 2-string bass with a slide, similar idea to what you're doing here.
RCAvhstape yep, I really like Morpine
Are you kidding? That nasally sound is what makes Fretless electric bass sound so great.
Awesome video!! Great playing and your rambling was sexayy!! Glad I didn't skip ahead :).
I built a 4 string bass 17 years ago with a bolt on maple neck and NO truss rod and it hasn't bowed at all. I'll be making some cigar box style instruments here shortly!
That frigging rocked! Sweeeetttt!!!!
cheers : -)
That's absolutely hands down beautyful, i like the guitar too. 😁
ha!
Good job on that Bass and looper
+KountryCuz1 thanks
Bloody great,you lovely woman,you!.I love the fact you made the thing and had fun playing it.More power to your finger picking elbow..
cheers : -)
Quite impressive!!
Fantastic, from a new subscriber in Lancashire. Xxx
Outstanding!
Thank you.
Cheers :-)
Awesome! I love it!
cheers
Sounds great 👍🏻
Cheers
The reason bassists use their index and middle (and sometimes ring) fingers is really just because you can play faster than just with your thumb. Great video by the way.
thanks, good luck with yours!
My first selfmade guitar is a long-neck wood piece trough a cardboardbox with one nylon string. It sounds very rattling and warm. Perfect for hip hop type basslines ;)
+rgerber cool : -)
thanks..there's nothing quite like playing something you've made yourself!!
Thank you and keep on playing...
