I'm put in mind of the Waterphone Waterphone Online - The Official Website of The Waterphone which is a very unique, and unique-sounding instrument, although nothing like a bass.

Liquid-filled body: Plausible? Been done? Hopeless?
- Thread starter Bassaga

Usually if someone wants a more liquidy bass tone they use a chorus or envelope filter.
I can't think of a single thing that can go wrong having a water filled guitar around high voltage tube amps....
This idea is so ridiculous, yet I imagine some people would pay a huge sum for one. Just come up with some bogus testimonies coupled with confusing, non-sensical, scientific research data, and you're off to a good start at marketing this debacle. Hey, isn't it done that way in infomercials?
If they could make one of these into one that would be great!
Then I'd have something to do inbetween sets or during rehearsals when everyone else is arguing/smoking/yapping or otherwise screwing off instead of playing.

Actually, a lot of municipal water supplies have plenty of iron, and in some cases, lead in the water. That's a liquid for heavy metal.
Mercury... No, no, ... Heavy Water with a touch of Uranium.
I was going to mention Kirk Hammett's "Wavecaster", but somebody beat me to it. He also has one filled with urine, I believe.

I would think you would want to use two different liquids like a colored water and oil so they would stay separated but the movement of the liquids inside would be more fluid. Like the old ocean in a bottle experiment we all did as kids
