A Translucent Bass Made Out of Reclaimed Acrylic

Invisible Fretless Bass

Craftsman Tim Sway, who previously built a pretty badass electric guitar frame out of reclaimed nails, put his luthier skills to use again with a bass made out of reclaimed acrylic from a TV show prop that fellow craftsman Paul Jackman had sent to him.

I made this short-scale, fretless bass from a piece of reclaimed acrylic that was used as a TV show prop and an aluminum cutoff. The pickup was rewired by Gemini Pickups.
