I am building this as a Christmas present for my father in law. He has always wanted a stand up bass but they are just too expensive. I just got it tuned and playing now I have to finish the detail work, clean up the f holes and try to whiten the trim.

That's a great build! I like that you used a piezo... but now for his birthday you'll have to build him an amp in a smaller (matching?) suitcase.
Thanks, that's a cool idea, but he has an old Fender twin reverb he loves.
Thanks, I hope so too.
Look's cool. Did you make the neck or purchase it? How does it sound?
Bought the kit from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-4-Upright-Bass-Part-neck-with-fingerboard... and modified it to fit. Wasn't very loud so I put in a preamp and under bridge piezo rod from CB Gitty
if it still smells like "Tabu" inside ; run like hell! i ain't kiddin! RUN
whoa! looks like momma's old samsonite finally got a use!
kewl . ;-)
