Default Fiberglass Upright Bass

I remember seeing an upright bass for sale on CL that was made out of fiberglass. Can't remember the make??

Working with this stuff requires precautions, but once it's a finished product, assuming it was built 'properly', and isn't broken, there should be no concerns...

I pulled this out of my press the other day, edges still need to be cleaned up.

I admire & applaud your ingenuity.
