Guitar Built out of an Ammunition Box

Groan.... it's a Bass.

What's that Blake? A bass with a 23.5" scale? I wonder how slack those light gauge strings would need to be to produce a bass tone. The neck, pickup, bridge, strings and tail piece are guitar items. Just because it has four strings, that doesn't make it a bass. It's a guitar on an unusual tuning. You wouldn't call a ukulele a bass just because it has four strings would you? I have guitars with five, four, three and two strings. They are still guitars.

Oh and when you say "bass" I presume you mean "bass guitar". A bass is something different altogether. A bass in your terms is still a guitar anyway.

All of which gives me an idea. I was thinking of building an unusual uke, but all the normal silly ideas have gone. Solid bodies, flying V, strat, you name it there's a uke that shape. I do however have an old ammo box out in the garage doing nothing on top of the beer fridge.

Something similar from South Africa that I've had the good fortune of running into... http://www.townshipguitars.com/main.htm Guitars made from old Oil Cans. They're really popular with tourists here!

Blake is right.

It's a BASS.
Next time Slash asks for a guitar, bring him something with 6 strings.

Somewhere out there, someone had made an ammunition box out of a guitar.
