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.

DeleteFinally 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.
