The article recounts the journey of creating the CYBERBASS, a sci-fi electric bass guitar, using everyday materials and tools. The author's process was filled with mistakes, unexpected challenges, and a playful spirit of experimentation. Despite lacking formal experience, the building experience emphasized improvisation and learning through trial and error. The creation embodies a mix of technical ingenuity and artistic expression, resulting in an instrument that sounds unique. Underlining the process is a philosophy that values creativity and efficiency, aligning with the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Imagine a random block of wood, add a Japanese hacksaw, a chisel, a drill, and a mountain of glorious mistakes. The result? CYBERBASS.
Every mistake was a step forward and every background noise that came out is now just sound character.
Hackers are lazy individuals always seeking shortcuts and automation to achieve their goals with minimal effort, valuing smart work over hard work.
Embracing the KISS principle was essential for building a futuristic electric bass from scratch, simplifying everything was the key.
