2 String Bass – Take 2

Posted by Benjamin on September 2, 2008 Filed under: Gear tagged: bassguitar, Bogdon

Well, after the 2 string bass, which I thought was a one of a kind, here is another one! Special thanks to Thumbrella for bringing this monster to my attention:

It is the Bogdon Box Bass – you can get one for real here on the Bogdon site. Choose between 2 or (the very dizzy heights of) 3 strings. They even have demo videos (lots of them). I’m almost ashamed to say that it doesn’t sound too bad at all! Who’d have thought?

They are priced at around $100 (no idea what that is after shipping to Europe or Asia). It is truely unique. I wonder if it is a cheap way to deal with my URB cravings?!?

Thank you for finding the Bogdon Box. I’m wondering if I might bring one back with me when I next visit the US now! Happy blogging!

THANK YOU for posting the box bass on your blog. The box bass isn’t supposed to be a replacement for quality wood and fine luthier craftsmanship, but rather it’s a crazy fun bass to see, hear, and play. And it attract attention. Every gig i do become a bass-clinic after wards because musicians always want to try it out. The strings are nylon and normally is tuned to E and A, but i prefer to tune it to A and D because the tension feels better. I just have to trasnpose a little bit to get to E,F, Gb and G and Ab… but thats no big deal.

If you have any questions just go to my myspace page.

Hi Bogdon Vasquaf! But we think it IS fine craftsmanship! Genius! Thank you for visiting, and solving the mystery of the strings – I’d been wondering what you used.

Wow!I have just seen this guy on Youtube make one off these, he said it takes two hours, which sounds like a long time to make a bass out of cardboard. The sound of the bass is not that impressive, but hey it is made of of cardboard so that’s good enough. I suppose you get what you pay for haha.
