Isn't it easier to string it the right way?

Homemade bass... following in a long-standing tradition of "making do" with little or no money.
Admire the ingenuity and the entreprenurial spirit and sheer will to make the gig. Ever seen one of these? Same concept.

From my perspective (as a non-guitar player) I thought the guy was re-using old strings that were too short to wind around the top but worked wrapped around the pegs. But it looks like there's plenty of wire (at least for most of them) to put them on the normal way.
Then there's the question of why the 3rd string ends up in the 4th hole. I could re-string it but I'll see what kind of conversation piece it is first. Jim

"I'm on a low budget"
"What did you say?" "I'm on a low budget" "I though you said that" Anyone? Todd, you guys here in Ct.? I thought I saw a billboard down in the Fairfield area the other day.

Herr Oberst,
Not just Keef's guitar, that is Micawber. (Or a clone of Micawber.) If we are putting money on it, I would say clone, as the bridge pickup looks to be a tele. Micawber is supposed to have a steel guitar PU retrofitted if I remember correctly. Personally, it is pretty embarrassing that I know half of this. Larry |

That's an early '50s flatpole lapsteel pickup in the bridge.
