Neat idea IF implemented properly.
BUT it uses a danged battery! Infernal electronics in an acoustic bass thread! May as well be a PUP! :meh::p

Did you install that yourself?

Something very similar from a Gold Tone ABG-4:

I need another number. You can see from the headstock, this old P Bass of mine needs a number.
I've played the poor thing to death! And they won't let me bury it in the P Bass thread!

I wouldn't ask ya, B-Mac ... but the pickups haven't worked in 37 years. I've been playing this Fender acoustically. I even named it "Leo"! Damned thing sounds like a sick cow...

This is disturbing on so many levels, but mostly because of the ergonomics

When I am not playing a skull bass I am playing a Fender Kingman with a golden lute baffle to the sound hole...

Oooooo, that looks great!
Was that off the shelf or did lutehole need to modify it? Really looks great with that pickguard!!


[edit] I see it was a ‘John Malay’ custom modified lutehole!!!:thumbsup:
