Bass Casket

I don't know about you guys, but when I die, I want my casket to be a huge, completely playable double bass.

I want to be cremated and turned into guitar picks.

I think my wife has the best idea. Appartently after cremation you can be turned into lab created diamonds i numerous colors. She wants to be turned into a huge pink diamond. sounds pretty cool to me. I would like to be turned into bone saddles and nuts. maybe not haha

I was just about to mention the diamonds thing

unfortunately the diamond of your wife won't be huge. Diamonds made of cremation ashes can be made, albeit, they won't be very big.

"A diamond lasts forever"

how touching

But, what if you lost the diamond? The bass casket would probably be like... a 6/4 or so bass? But, I wouldn't get it buried. I'd leave it in a special area so that people could go play it if they wanted... and if they were big enough to get around on it.

As opposed to a 3/4 bass. The mental picture i am getting is kind of like that HUGE flying V guitar i have seen on YouTube but a DB. Sounds pretty cool. When i first saw the title i kinda imagined a huge hard shell case shaped casket.
