NBD Tone... er... Plastic?

[stewblack]

I gigged this beauty last night

and it sounded amazing and so many folk commented on it and took photos of it.

Hate to upset the tone wood fan base but this is made of Lego. And it sounds absolutely awesome.

The neck isn’t. Put a maple fingerboard on and it will be a different sound!

Pffff. He could make it sound brighter just by using lighter coloured lego for the body.

I am planning some mods. I'll report back on how they affect the sound

bass less important than the pedal board potentially 

[Hellzero]

Are you playing in a Yoko Ono tribute band?

[binky_bass]

All those pedals could make a piece of string tied to a broom sound decent! 

 

The question is, how does it sound acoustically and going direct? 

[Oopsdabassist]

I think all the pedants are missing the point here...........Its s fricking Lego Bass, I mean....how awesome is that??

[binky_bass]

Most had already seen this in the for sale section and have already expressed its cool factor, this thread was about it's tone.

 

So, sir... I have to conclude... it is in fact YOU that has missed the point. 

 

20 lashes...

Oh come on, 'most'? You think we all have nothing better to do than check the classifieds here twelve time a day? 

 

Well. Fine. But that's not the point either.

Leo was such a visionary, he designed bass pickups so that Lego Technic wouldn't have to👍
