 Say Thanks!
This is something I've wanted to do since forever, but could not figure out how to import a guitar or bass into the game without it either disappearing or proudly displaying the stand still stuck to its bottom while played. Having now got to grips with mesh geostates, I hope you'll find this useful if, like me, you're fed up with only having that huge clunky cello-style bass, especially for your rock simmies.

You must have the Late Night expansion pack, which added basses to the game, in order to use this item. It is found in the Hobbies/Knowledge category in the catalogue, and costs 750 simoleons.

It has two colourways, the main body and the sides (I would have liked to do more, but being a Sims 2 object, the mapping is always so darned complicated and hard to make into a CaSTable item, which they were never intended to be). See the tiling screenshots in the below thumbnail pics, and a few examples:

Looks cute in jam sessions:

One minor issue: I could not figure out how to make 'real' strings operate (a game effect) on this, so added a plane mesh with a string texture and a background that recolours with the item's body but darker, which looks pretty OK - hope this is an acceptable compromise.

Thanks for looking, hope you'll find this a good addition to your musical instrument collection.
