Knex Guitar (Bass)

This my entry for TGKT Round 2. It is a bass guitar, very heavy (more than a Knexsayer!) and I can get at least 2 tunes out of it, with varying degrees of accuracy. See my video post for those (should be up before the 15th but seeing as each vid takes about 15 mins to upload...). I do realise that it only has one string, but it is much easier to play like this, and can support all 4 strings. It is slightly shorter that a 3/4 size bass, as the only even slightly playable parts of the strings are right by the top of the neck.

Undermig says: Mar 12, 2009. 4:02 PM

Hey il make you a deal.well if your interested and plz be... show me how to make this awsome guitar. and il add some pikups home made and il show you how to make it and insert it on this guitar to put it on a amp. cause well i want a knex guitar bas and this is the secound 1 i found. and its the best.

knexguy (author) in reply to UndermigMar 13, 2009. 10:39 AM

The other one probably resembled a harp. It would be no good to play off an amp, as it cannot support real strings.

knexguy (author) in reply to shmi117Feb 10, 2009. 8:55 AM

Tried to remake it but failed. I am also working on a crossbow at the moment so I'm a bit busy, also heping Barrax out with something.

shmi117 in reply to knexguyFeb 10, 2009. 8:31 PM

Ok well i guess thats ok... But you or anyone else can post it... please do... And i want to see the crossbow

knexguy (author) in reply to shmi117Feb 11, 2009. 10:26 AM

The crossbow uses a new mechanism, meaning that it can theoretically have twice the power.

nutty guy in reply to In-A-Gadda-Da-VidaFeb 4, 2009. 11:15 AM

lol

Trogador in reply to In-A-Gadda-Da-VidaJan 30, 2009. 6:59 PM

It's funny; I was recently trying to rig up an odd bass drum mechanism with that trampoline from the big air ball tower, one of those balls from the red designer kit thing, and a bunch of rubber bands and big square platform... It ultimately ended up failing miserably. I'm sure knexguy could do better than me :D

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida in reply to TrogadorJan 30, 2009. 7:38 PM

XD THats so awesome

knexguy (author) in reply to In-A-Gadda-Da-VidaJan 23, 2009. 8:32 AM

Lol, I'm not sure about the PS3 but a mike and possibly drums could definitely be done. I'll look into it. As for the guitar, just use this.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida in reply to knexguyJan 23, 2009. 2:43 PM
