That is really a cool sound. Well done, I really like it.
What is the tuning on the strings ?
All of the best, from
Cape Town, South Africa
Thanks.
And sorry for the delay.
It’s DADF#. You may picture it as 4 upper strings of the Open D tuning.
Great sound. Out of the six strings in a pack of six, which ones did you use?
Hi.
Thank you for the comment.
At the video I used the 4 thickest (3rd to 6th) strings of the regular D’Addario.
Because the whole Idea of using the P-Bass pickups was to get some sort of roaring sound.
Lately I gave it to professional musician to try.
To his taste it sounded too “bassy”.
So now I’ve put the 4 thinnest , i.e. 1st to 4th.
Very cool, Thanks for the quick reply. I like the bassy sound. That what I am going for in my next build.
Hi ..Nice looking guitar that .
I used ONE p – bass pickup on my build , but even after extensive earthing , it sends out a muffled hissing tail sound inbetween strums while playing .
Any suggestions , friend .
Rád bych koupil cigar box, jak pokračovat v nákupu
.děkuji za odpověď. Ivan
I don’t know how it might work in the Czech Republic, in Canada we have tobacco stores. They have plenty of boxes. And they would give it away for free.
