HAVE CIGAR BOX UKE WILL TRAVEL

[Bouvier1951]

Well done mate, love the video on Boo Diddly, I just have to watch some more of your videos, really well put together, looks easy but I know you have to really think that through. Hope I can pick up some tips for making cigar box guitars on your other videos. I'm a fan, brilliant.

[Dischordian]

Gus you are the daddy.

Luv ya baby xxx

[guitarguy098]

How deep is your box? i have a few that i'm planning to use, but they're only 2" deep...

[GUGUG]

@guitarguy098 The box in the video is about 1.5" deep

[macadder09]

[GUGUG]

Superglue

Hi Gus

I only have one question.

How did you attached the Pizotransducer to the Korpus/ Cigarbox?

Greetings from Germany. ^^

P.S. Your Videos are awesome!!! Keep on the good work ;)

[G3RIVER]

This is the video that inspired me to build a cigar box ukulele. Now I'm hooked. These things are fun to build.

Thanks,

[acbaltimore]

what / how did you attach the transducer inside?

[dohertykaki]

How much is one of those Uke- Diddley's ? $-) awsome video!

[yinstylebagua2007]

Cool.

[lnbsax1]

would you please give list of parts for your pickup... Love the page man!!! I use to play baritone sax in a Ska band...  man do I miss it...

[GUGUG]

@lnbsax1

Buy a transducer (£1), a jack socket, a bit of wire and a volume potentiomenter from Maplin. (you might have to go to a guitar shop for the pot and the knob) look up the simplest wiring diagram from the internet - and bingo!

[itsoyable]

what is the value of the potentiometer that you used?

[GUGUG]

Truly a master at work! Brilliant!

[copykittens]

Will travel - to Scotland next week, but no live performances there then, eh?

[PinkTorpedo11]

you make it look too easy - both the construction and the playing.

[Tikitiki200]

You are too cool! Please, need a new GUGUG fix! Can't play my uke...hands shaking, body aching,  DT's taking hold.

[Floydflander]

[danselvage]

[Sharkwell]

[JayTomMay]

i wish i knew you in person so i could say, "I know that guy."... Fin too. Man you rock. Keep it up dude. BTW do you have a step by step tutorial? what items do you need?

[alanfromdarwen]

[rossnairn]

Nice 1 gus. Did u smoke all the cigars first I hope ? Keep on rockin.

[shuggy09big15]

Why thats remarkable! But can you cycle 10 miles in less than 22mins? Haha!

Did you get your Velib back in its port ok? See you in Paris - 2022. SHUSHUSH

[laidinusa]

[Ostropovitch]

Awesome!

[TokyoUketarist]

I love it you're really like the 'MacGyver' of the ukulele! Just great!

[cameltheotherone]

Nice.......mmmmm....

[mooncoinphoto]

I like you!

[thecafeowner]

ha! we have the same taste in decks!

i have a numark TT1610. passing through a numark DM950 mixer!

i've just realised how sad that sounds...taxi!

[hackdown3]

that was sweet.

[letsgocoyote]

sounds good. are you using any echo or reverb? sounds cool

[aquasloth]

Just found my new weekend project. :)

God, I love your videos.

[RoldanBoc]

Excellent!

[sasukeisthemoprince]

Can't wait to see you play this with Fin! XD

[lxlcantar]

[olafbigandglad]

you need a duchess

[neal1960]

Brilliant

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

soldering shit is fun :D

[Bluebuthappy182]

that's a pretty cool little project.

[fireblade95]

but i dont smoke!

[MisterSoundminister]

good job, sounds really great at the end. you've got talent as instrument builder dude!

[africatwin07]

THis video has everything!

Ukuleles

Cigar Boxes

Maraceas

and Bo Diddley on a Custom Cushman Road King Motor Scooter (For scooter nerds like me)

I am defintely going to make me a cigar box ukulele nightmare.

Thanks, see ye in Dublin next month.

[GUGUG]

Wow! For years I thought it was a Harley Davidson Topper, but I just looked up Custom Cushman Road King - and you're definitely spot-on!

[africatwin07]

Topper Harley!, hot shots part deux! very early costant variable drive, as used in modern twist n go scoots. I'm a vespa man myself, as can be seen from the split headset vnb still awaiting assembly in my kitchen.

The Scooter Ukulele revolution starts here...............

Or perhaps over here ------>

[BerylBite]

ever tried building a pickup? easy stuff, lots of fun.

[worschd21]

rare footage of secret gus-labs.

cool.

[schuermurrman]

I love that shaking the shaker was necessary in the making of this cigar uke!! Great fun vid man!

[akula06]

awesome

[TeleTubeee]

Fun. Informative.

Impressive production how the maracas and his strumming the final product at the end matched the music perfectly.

One of the BEST YouTube videos I've seen in a while.

Can you show us how to properly secure a neck to a cigar box or whatever body?

Thanks for the show!

[hoosierhiver]

Very cool!

Let me know about those necks!

[ukeshale]

cool!

[SeanBoke]

A mad scientist in the rhythm lab cooking up the pickup. Nicely done.

[josephhoh]

that is a fantastic idea except that I think the plug in should be at the back or bottom of the body. The strumming hand is eventually going to rip it out don't you think?

[thawthepast]

Man...this is better than the best...right on brother :-)

[clovergirl22]

Ha! Awesome!

[cdjames10]

Sweeeeet! Sounds great.
