In this video, I build a violin out of a paintbrush box I found at a craft store.
Two videos ago, I built a violin from scratch. At one point while I was working on that video, I began to doubt my ability to construct a playable neck, so I ordered a pre-made neck from China. Well...that neck finally arrived. In this video, I build a new instrument by attaching that pre-made neck to a box I found at a craft store with surprising results.
The paintbrush box I used in this project is this one: https://rosagroup.com.ua/index.php?id_product=66&controller=product&id_lang=1. I bought it from Slanchogled in Camden (go downstairs and they have wooden boxes on the left-hand side).
Violin necks like the one I purchased can be found on eBay: ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=violin+neck+fingerboard+-chart+ebony&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_udlo=5&_udhi=20&_sop=12

Ive finally gotten around to sampling my beloved Aria Pro II precision bass. Ive used this thing on countless rock songs–always recorded the same way: I mix the sound of the raw DI input with the sound of my Music Man Sixty-Five tube amp. Well, Ive finally captured that sound and made it into a sample library. Enjoy!")
