I'm really thinking of pulling the trigger on this one.

Acrylic bass from Ali Express

I think it might burn easier if you find some way of cutting it into smaller chunks before you try to set it alight.
Pretty d*** bad. When playing outside, it will focus the sun's rays and set your slacks on fire.

This is what I mean when I talk about peo0l3 collecting cheap basses as accessories.

Because as long as people dish out money for this !#%$@, the more it will be put out, rather than decent player grade instruments.
Save your money for something that will last you.
That would be quite the stage show though. Plus, the band could make extra money by taking bets on when the bassist goes up in flames!
Also, it's a
Chinese instruments these days are much more than serviceable.
I would absolutely rock that. It’s small so it won’t be heavy like a full sized acrylic bass. And it’s dirt cheap.
Jeez, y’all haters act like that’s gonna be any worse than any other bass at that price. Go get it and wear it out. A bass doesn’t have to be brown with tort to be fun to play and sound good.

No one is saying they aren't. But cheap bass, sold for it's appearance, Ali baba, I have my serious doubts.
Every acrylic bass I have ever held in my hands was super heavy. They look super cool, but personally, I wouldn't want one because of the weight alone.
As long as you are willing to spend a few hundred extra when it arrives than maybe someone can get it working properly for you, it will most likely need fret dressing / leveling , tuners, set up etc.....

What?!. Its like the only bass one will ever need. The biggest names in the business cant even promote that!.
My main bass is a 1970 Dan Armstrong. It weighs exactly 9 lbs, 1 oz… which isn’t much heavier than most basses.
I have somewhere around twenty basses on hand that I can choose from (all high end models), but the Dan Armstrong is my number 1. It has a MASSIVE amount of “punch”, a surprisingly wide variety of different tones, and a ton of sustain, which is supposedly due to the density of the lucite/acrylic body (though I’m never really in need of much sustain while playing).
I can’t say that the bass you’re looking at would have the same attributes. If you have $200 burning a hole in your pocket, it’s worth a try. Let us know what you think of it should you decide to buy the bass.
