Interesting. Loved the rotary picks!

I bet it could play Portrait of Tracy pretty well.

[MaHei]

Nice sound. No doubt due to the careful selection of tonewoods.

Ha! But how would it do the artificial harmonics???

Actually the firt time I liked the sound of a bass played with a pick.

That's cool as hell. But, I'll be damned if somebody ain't got too much free time on their hands.

Looks like a typical college lab, This could have been somebody's senior design project or grant pet. Either way, there was more encouragement than just available time.

Don't you just "fret" the harmonic on the string near where you're plucking? I'm not quite sure how that works.
