there is a 5 string on there as well

Cool or Uncool?

I think it's pretty cool! But wow, only $150? That's uber cheap! They don't specify what the neck and fretboard are made out of. For that price, I wouldn't expect it to sound particularly great, but it'd make a bitchin' piece of wall art!

It looks cool, but i don't know about the sound... the great problem with this type of bass are the scratches

 

[erochelle77]

I want one in a P shape

 

[Pennydreadful]

I'm not into it. Not cause it's clear- I think the old clear Ampegs are neat- but because that actual bass does nothin for me.

If you have ever played one... you truly know what a heavy bass is... SO FREAKIN' HEAVY!

I bought a see-thru bass off eBay a few weeks ago from a private seller, not the seller concerned here.

Yup, it's heavy but it looks very cool !!

The bass needed some work though. The nut was plastic and not fastened to the bass at all, so I made a new one from a bone blank. The frets needed some attention, the strings needed changing and the 'board took a couple of hours to clean. I also shielded the electronics with copper tape so you can see that through it as well !!

I loaned it to a student of mine as a backup for an important gig he had. He said the bass sounded really good, no electrical hum and he was really pleased that it was standing at the side of the stage if he needed it.

It was cheap, needed some work, but sounds great and looks cool.

What I mean by "they don't specify what woods the neck are" I REALLY meant "I don't read."

i know someone that had one in see through blue and i hated it, one of my least favourite basses, its heavy, poorly made and i thought the tone was awful..

i could really moan and whinge about this bass but i will stop

Ummm... different brands can do different things. So I would hesitate to say I hate the way it sounds just by looking at it.

 

[CrazyArcher]

Will look nice on the wall. Don't know what's cool in seeing someone's shirt through the bass he plays. The tone-block cavity doesn't look awesome either.

Oh. I though this thread was going to be about something else. Never mind... ;^)

it was the same bass but just a different colour, it had a blue tint to the seethrough body.

ive seen a couple around.

so i wont hesitate.

If it was full of LEDs that flashed in a pattern that hypnotised the cute ones in the front of the audience to beleive the fat, bald bass player was their sex god, I'd buy one.

 

[jgsbass]

Its good if you want a transparent sound
