I'm impressed. Could turn out to be very useful.

As long as it doesn't hit the brown note.

I would never have thought that styrofoam had such acoustic properties.

I'm not surprised, I have one of those Yamaha A.I.R basses and while it lacks sublow punch it has wonderfully warm and fuzzy mids.

A great bass for an unplugged session, not so great if your drummer is Scott Travis!
