Well this was definitely a new one for me. I came across an aluminum bodied double bass in a local craigslist ad: http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/msg/2589892484.html I also found a video of one being played, although it's bit of a bad recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au5_S8mpqbQ |

upton bass had one of these in their shop a while back, although it was definitely different than the on you've found. here's a link to what they found out about it: http://www.uptonbass.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21/products_id/390 |

IMHO, the old growth aluminum is far superior to the aluminum of today. It takes a while for the aluminum to forget that it was a bunch of Coke cans. Bill, tgo |

Hopefully the federal government won't raid the factory and confiscate pallets of aluminum. (Message edited by Benson_Murrensun on September 14, 2011) |

Nah, we're cool. Judging by the 24 pack in my fridge it's not an endangered species. |
