Bass X-rays

cool...I saw my P bass go thru the xray at airport, would've loved to get a pic of it, wasn't possible.

Cool. Years ago I owned a 1980 Veillette-Citron bass, one of whose unique features was a metal plate stamped with the serial number that was embedded between the wood laminations of the body...ostensibly for "x-ray confirmation" of ownership in cases of theft.

I always wondered "Yeah, but who would go to the trouble to x-ray a bass?!?!" Now I know!

 

Very cool!

 

Hmmm...how about a wrap on a bass that's an image of it x-rayed? Clear pickup housings...someone run with that! (or just get the lucite 2 ton instrument)

 

Now this is some seriously high-quality hardcore bass porn. (If anyone needs me, I'll be in my bunk.)

 

Here in St. Petersburg, every underground station has an X-ray unit, and selective checks are routinely performed on passengers, so some luthiers ask the staff to X-ray a bass or a guitar to diagnose e.g. trussrod problems.

 

This is seriously cool. I love mechanical art!

 

That’s one of the cooler things I’ve seen in a while!

 

Someone hadda do it

 

Very cool. I didn't realize how much chambering there is in my Ibanez EHB until now!

 

This is really fun.

Ox needs a bass like that.

 

Are those the carbon fiber rods that you see in the Ibanez multiscale? I didn't know whether you could see those on an xray.

 

Wal Bass CT Scan for good measure

 

I can see their truss rods.
