I don’t think these are supposed to be very good, but for $99, might be worth the novelty alone.

Pretty gnarly looking though when you look at some the pictures, pretty yellowed in spots and I imagine heavy.

I used to own one. It was okay. Heavy as hell (I'm guessing 12lbs?). Bought it primarily for the novelty of having a see-thru bass.

Nothing like letting people see your scrunched up shirt and the crotch of your pants through your beautiful yellowed acrylic bass!

That would explain the yellowing...

That's why I always played this bass wearing just a Speedo. The magnification qualities of acrylic are a plus.

Ha!
There’s gotta be a scale length joke in there somewhere...
