I couldn't afford an upright bass... so a relative and I built one.
I've been wanting to learn how to play an upright bass but they start around a thousand dollars and that just isn't the kind of jack I keep around the house.

I did some research and decided on a modified "cigar box" build. Wine create for the body, modified basic bass neck, weed whacker strings, piezo pickup to make it electric, and scrounging up materials for the bits and bobs.

You all know my wood working skills are top notch but I still had a relative do the wood working for me. This is what we came up with.

That is definitely at the complete highest level of groovy. 5 stars. Attaboys and escalades.

You are clearly not the average schmo, pr. The banner thing and this. Gumption jumping out the gym.

Good thing you weren't hankering a tuba.

You should take it to Guitar Center and find a 12 year old. They'll show you how it's done.
