Semi-hollow clear pine and particle board (seat), nitrocellulose lacquer on the center and back. Carvin humbucker, volume, tone, series/parallel/single-coil switch.

My dad had an idea in the 70's that he could build a guitar out of anything so he built one out of a toilet seat. About 6 years ago a few people saw it and asked us to build them one. The bass was the 5th (and last) and had a few different necks/pickups (Slammer, Kramer, and MIK Squier necks, originally a Schaller pickup and then the Carvin in the picture).

Now together as a complete bass for $350, see post #32 in this thread for pics.

Been replaced by a Bongo, eh?

:P You guys knew it was coming.

Good luck selling man. Cool project!

^^ Damn. gotta be quick around here.

That looks a lot like Yankee stadium.

There's a local luthier nearby that makes mandolins, guitars, etc out of stainless steel bedpans. They have remarkable punch, clarity & volume, & he sells them for $500 & up. :eek: He calls them 'Commodians'.

What did it sound like when it was intact? Thanks.

Fat with a strong midrange. Good attack, not compressed.

PM'd

Do you have any toilet seats made of bass bodies for sale?

I'd be in the market for those:cool:

Seriously, this is far and away the most clever "crafts" bass I have ever seen. Love the creativity!

Good luck with the sale.

Fat with a strong midrange. Good attack, not compressed.

Good thing it's not compressed, constipation can be such a drag.

That looks a lot like Yankee stadium.

:O

I just remembered that there was a gap between the toilet seat and the treble side of the neck, cosmetic issue only.

For a complete bass using an Allparts neck, the price is $500 plus shipping.

Has it got a lid?

No lid, no TP, no scrubbrush. Stains can be arranged.

i was waiting to see a bongo body........

btw i like bongos so please dont attack me ;)

bump

genius.

guitoilet..??

Pee Bass..??

help me..

"Electric Chair"
"Crapocaster"

That bass must really hold up the bottom end...:p

well it either really "sits" in the mix, or sounds like "crap". either way its "stinkin" awesome :D

Crapper bump..

I am amuzed and disgusted at the same time...

I aim to please (and at the bowl)...

Glad to see it isn't "relic'd"............:)

I would be interested in a bass made out of toilet paper as a backup at a crappy venue!!:D

Why is everyone Dumping on this thing???

I think I just need to pick up a Squier neck off eBay and keep the damn thing.

Too...many...puns...thread...verging on...implosion...

You mentioned that the neck and body had a gap on the treble side...do you think a little drano would help make it flush?

BOOM

Wow, that one was really corny...

I'm taking this off the market (getting a Squier neck for it and hanging on for the moment) but will leave the thread up for comic relief in the forum. ;)

OK, now a complete bass for $350!
