Tesla coil guitar amp!

Who needs distortion pedals when you've got a 250,000 volt Tesla coil? It even provides a light show!

I actually want to try this with my bass now. On stage.

That is awesome. I enjoyed the Zelda one better though.

I've been asking for one of these for years...haven't checked the video yet, but I'll be quite disappointed if it's just one of those lamps with lightning bolts inside it

It's mostly about how it works, but the good stuff (bass playing) starts at 9:34

Check this out ‪Tesla Guitar demonstration‬‏ - YouTube

The guy describes the project, and proceeds to play Seek and Destroy on a F-ing tesla coil. Nice.
