This DIY kit allows you to build a 4-string bass inspired by the iconic Iceman. Featuring a solid mahogany body and a Canadian maple neck with rosewood fretboard, it comes with everything you need to create a custom bass.
Bass Build Levels and Challenges
The Iceman Bass Kit is ideal for beginner builders due to its user-friendly features and straightforward assembly. The bass body, crafted from porous ash wood, requires at least two coats of grain filler for a smooth finish, and its angular contours demand careful painting to avoid drips or texture issues. Assembly is simple and forgiving: the bolt-on neck has no inclination, which simplifies alignment, and while ash is a hard wood, pre-drilling makes installing screws easy. The bridge posts are pre-drilled as well, so you won't need to measure scale length or calculate bridge position—though doing so is still a great learning opportunity. Wiring is hassle-free with our solderless system. In terms of setup, the fixed bridge allows for standard intonation and string height adjustments, offering a solid foundation for accurate tuning and playability. While it doesn’t provide the flexibility of individual saddle adjustments like a tremolo system for guitars, the removable nut offers room for fine-tuning and personal customization. Plus, the flat neck angle makes initial string action setup much more approachable.
