@Tom Hoglund well i found an old electric doublebass neck, it was all worm-eaten and the headstock was broken in two pieces but not completely detached. i fixed the headstock with Vinavil glue and clamps, and I filled the woodworm holes with the same glue using a syringe.
I put a 10X10 Cm log all along the case (as you can see in the image) to withstand the tension of the strings and i attached the neck to the log with some glue, and secured it with screws.

Like to hear how it sounds too!
Very cool - some info on how you built it would be really interesting.
