To start off, we’re not saying that the future of bass guitar building is going to be 3D-printed. Not at all. 3D printing is still a relatively young technology, and to the best of our knowledge, all<\/em> 3D printed guitars still use wooden necks (including the one shown here) simply because it’s still the most practical thing to use.<\/p>\n

In the video below, only the body is 3D printed. Everything else uses traditional bass parts and components. The pickups used are Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Jazz pickups<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What’s really interesting about this build is that the builder goes into good detail describing exactly how the body was made, from software to material to printing process.<\/p>\n

Also, yes there is a sound demonstration of the instrument<\/strong> at the 3:10 mark.<\/p>\n

What can you learn from seeing a 3D-printed bass?<\/h3>\n

It’s simply another build option, and if you opt to use it, the best use is for some<\/em> of a bass build but certainly not all of it.<\/p>\n
