stingrayPete1977 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I wonder what it sounds like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEvans Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 A quick google suggests that Christian Maas is maybe not the most groundbreakingly original artist - looks to me like he saw a picture of one of the 30s US aluminium double basses (which do look great) and knocked out half a dozen of them as sculpture.

Beer of the Bass Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 So this is a piece of sculpture the shape and size of a double bass, which is not a double bass? Like, a genuine Bass Shaped Object? I suppose it's an interesting idea, in a Magritte's pipe sort of way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
