| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Saint John, NB, Canada | | I used to be a tin banger, though I never tried making a bass out of it. I did, however make a case for my bass out of embossed aluminum.
If I was still in the trade and about to attempt one, I would use stainless steel, and aluminum. That's the best metal for metal.
Dang, now you got me thinking, again. Not a good idea.
