What does a plastic double bass sound like? DIY- Building a Real Bass from Polycarbonate Acrylic.

Ойын-сауық

My 2020 pandemic project while in lockdown. Making a 3/4 double bass with the body made of heat formed polycarbonate sheets. The neck scroll, fingerboard and accessories came from Ali-express as a kit.

    Amazing work, sounds great, I don't know that I would just paint it to look like a normal bass though.

    Interesting effort well carried out, but the tone leaves a lot to be desired. Still commended you for the effort.

    You should have left it polished clear. Great craftsmanship.

    Wayne awesome work. 2 Questions: Where did you get the mounting hardware for the neck to body and what glue did you use to join all the polycarbonate pieces together?

    I made the locking mechanism myself out of brass. And the acrylic adhesive is Acrifix. It chemically welds the pieces together.

    Amazing craftsmanship! Did you use Plexiglas (acrylic) or Lexan (polycarbonate)? Thanks!

    Its polycarbonate or Lexan. It's bulletproof.

    Its way too heavy. I have plans to contour the front and back more to lighten and maybe boost the acoustics

    Very nice. You only made one. Sounds perfect! Are you selling any?

    Not selling. This was a covid lockdown project. I think it would be too expressive and time consuming to sell.
