Subject description: that's about it.



Construction is very simple.



Machine head tuner is mounted to the wood.





I used an electrical grounding bar as a sort of nut.





I had a piezo element laying around, so that turned into the pickup and bridge.

And a recording with a drum track and some effects:



So, considering the only thing I paid for in this project was the E bass string, I'm pretty happy with the results.
