\"DaviePopular YouTuber Davie504<\/strong> recently passed 10 million subscribers on his channel, earning him a Diamond Play Button from the company. The creative bassist knew just what to do with it: turn it into a bass. <\/p>\n

He sent the award to Carlo Carbone at Amnesia Guitars, who modified his Midget bass model to make it happen. The bass is thicker and wider than the standard version to accommodate the award, which can be removed. With the Diamond Play Button inside, the bass weighs nearly 20 pounds. Carbone even says, \u201cI don\u2019t suggest you to use it in an eventful evening!\u201d<\/p>\n

Due to the award\u2019s placement, the pickup is placed closer to the neck than usual. \u201cThe sound is different from what you expect from a standard jazz bass,\u201d the luthier states. \u201cIt\u2019s somehow different and interesting because it\u2019s not so simple to find something similar on the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can hear all about the bass from Davie504 as well as Carlo Carbone in their own YouTube videos:<\/p>\n
