3D Printed Bass--Father's Day Gift

My son decided to give me a new bass for Father's Day, so he had one 3D printed for me. Here's a picture of it leaning up against my Fender Rumble 200. It's about 9 1/2" long. Now, I'm wondering if there will ever be an actual 3D printed bass on the market in the future?! 20170701_212256.jpg
 
Yep and it'll happen sooner than later.
They are already constructing buildings with 3D robotic machines.
And whether you like the idea or not, firearms are being done.
So, one day soon you'll be able to create rather than fantasize about having that awesome boutique bass.
Of course, according to 1967 Popular Mechanics magazine, we'd all be riding around in flying cars by the 21st century.

Flying cars. The great disappointment of the future. Or is it the past, since that's when it was predicted? That being said, we still have a bit more than 80% of the 21st century yet to go.

And jetpacks? What happened with jetpacks?

I did know of a guy who mini-coptered to work each day.
I'd see him flying overhead on occasion while I was in my ground based transport.

We're living in the future
And flying in our cars
We go to work on Venus
Vacationing on Mars
