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.

Its already changed to white. Will probably change it again.
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.
THANK YOU~~~~~~!!!!
Somebody should do this and leave it clear.
Show!
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.
Nice project. How much does it weight?

Its way too heavy. I have plans to contour the front and back more to lighten and maybe boost the acoustics
Hey Wayne! Where in the USA are you based? I would love to drop by and try your bass.

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