Future of Bass Guitar

:eek Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, here comes the tubular neck. I have to try one of these, I think its very cool. Have no idea how it would be to play.

looks interesting...

I would think that the radius would be problematic for bending...

I'm all for innovation n' stuff... but seriously??? A Vulcan bass guitar?
Yeah, I'm butchering this idea before even trying it...

They don't even present a single argument for why this design is worth spending 3000$ on... yep... 3000$... Rumours have it you can buy a proper bass guitar for that amount of money.
The only argument I can see is that it won't corrode... unless you accidently bump it against another metal that is not compatible with stainless steel of course... in which case it may corrode very fast...
