Sick Of Google-ing

I'm sure you all know of Kim Nekroman of Nekromantix. He builds his own coffin bass. lots of others have them too, The Brains, Tiger Army, etc. I want one, how do i do it? do they just build the body and buy the neck and other parts? If they don't do that, is that something i can do? i don't want to build a neck and headstock, etc. All google gives me is that damn guy with the cardboard bass.

Why not just buy one from one of the 5 million 14 year old kids who have already made one?

Hi.

Building a box out of plywood ain't rocket science.

Attaching a neck from a CCB donor with two bolts ain't either.

I doubt that there's too many pictorials available to guide You through since the job is relatively straight forward and as usual "If You Have To Ask, You Most Probably can't Do It" applies.

That said: JUST GO AHEAD AND DO IT.

Regards
Sam
