FMW luthier-built Ricky-inspired bass through neck with lucite wings

guitarz.blogspot.com:
This unique FMW bass by Berlin luthier Frank M. Weber is quite a stunner. It's obviously based around the Rickenbacker 4000 series basses, is of walnut and maple through-neck construction with see-through luctite body wings. The body is equipped with 8 white LEDs to illuminate the see-through sections. It also has LED position markers mounted into the top edge of the ebony fingerboard. Pickups are "Harry Häussel" Bass Bars.

Currently listed on eBay France with a Buy It Now price of €1500.

    1. There oughta' be a LAW..!

      Finally someone addresses the issue of an acrylic based design that isn't a shop class on electrical wiring? Who wants to see that? Shimmering brilliance.

      Normally I'm the first to declare something "grossly over-priced!" but in this case, they should be asking more.

    I think the body shape, f holes and tailpiece make a very pretty design.
