Name that "bass"

[santucci218]

Over here from the electric forum guys.

I once saw a bass online, upright, and it had either 5 or 6 strings.

The back of the neck was hollow kind of, and there were strings in the back of it that you played with your thumb.

It looked like an upright bass but had a different name.

Anybody know what in the world im talking about? i wanted to look into them more, but dont know their name.
