Guitar Built out of an Ammunition Box

Slash isn't real?

Excellent pop culture reference.

@ John F. you owe me a new keyboard... too funny.

My understanding is that it's called a bass guitar. So this is an electric guitar.

Uruwai, I have bad news for you: Slash isn't real. He's just something that parents make up to tell their kids.

Praise the lord and pass the...WTF?

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

Blake is right.

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

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!

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.

Groan.... it's a Bass.
