    Is there a technical music term for this?

    Tic tac bass is upright bass doubled with with a Bass VI (played with a pick, usually with some palm muting). According to Google, a baritone could also be used, but the tuning is different.

    Mas Hino Bass actually built with Warmoth Parts

    I have put together quite a few instruments. I am not a luthier by any stretch. I have built a couple pretty good instruments and some others that I went the quick n' cheap route. Those particular instruments have a few rough edges and some misalignments and patches, but they're my personal...

    Mas Hino Bass actually built with Warmoth Parts

    Or a Ford branded as a Mazda. Or Dodge branded as VW. The automotive world is full of examples.
