Adaptor for Bass Guitar Amp . These days, music is a major hobby for the young and not-so-young. Lots of people  enjoy  making  music,  and  more  and  more dream of showing off their talents on stage. But one of the major problems often encountered is the cost of musical equipment. How many amateur music groups sing  through an amp borrowed from a guitarist or bass player?  This is where the technical problems arise not in terms of the .25” (6.3 mm)  jack, but in terms of the sound quality (the words  are barely understandable) and volume (the amp  seems to produce fewer decibels than for a guitar).

It’s a great book that explains not only how to make four different cigar box guitars, step by step, but also interviews some very interesting characters involved in the cigar box guitar scene. I decided to have a go at making one of the CBGs described in the book, and that’s what this post is about. Firstly I got my hands on a Cigar box, graciously donated by another very good friend of mine (thanks, Kevin). I searched around for a while for suitable scrap wood for the n...

Well, I got asked if I could put up some more pictures of the finished guitar (and specifically the neck joint), so here's what I've got (apologies for the dust). I thought I had a pic of the wiring too, but I can't seem to find it. Next time I change the strings I'll remove the scratchplate and take some. Enjoy. (EDIT: The wiring pics have now been added below)     And the wiring pics...
