That's got me thinking about gutting a violin for my medicine cabinet & a viola as a spice rack...

Hi.

The fact that the bass is unplayable is a definite - for me.

However, I do know that some rockabilly players have made a nice booze cabinet inside their basses.

Seems it would affect damping rather severely...even worse, if something spills.

... first I thought that somebody had designed a new type of bass bars...
then, I thought that maybe somebody had installed the Revolution pick up inside the bass on the bass bar...
then finally I decided to check out the thread to figure out which one it was... LOL
