i think it would sound a lot better* if the fretting plates were steel instead of clear plastic (at least i think that's what those clear bits are.
*at least for that song

I don't think this was designed with the thought of replacing bass players, but more as a fun project to show it can be done. |

Not for most genres, but the latest DJ or Rapper that wants "real" bass sounds but is too lazy/cheap to hire a studio bassist can keep somebody on staff to program that thing. |

(* ducks for cover *)   DISCLAIMER - Even though I used more than one smiley, I still want to explicitly state that I said that purely as a joke. I intended no malice or insult toward those who enjoy playing or listening to the technique. As a matter of fact, I'm somewhat envious of those who do it with such ease because I'm no good at it.
