    Love it! Though, that bass clef thingy is kinda backwards. The dots are on the right side but it curls the wrong way. Other than that ... awesome! :D

    Kinda reminds me of this electric Viola da Gamba from Ruby Gamba

    i'm surprised you dont recognize that style of bass clef....

    I would expect a bach lover to :D

    it was actually popular in the late 19 early 20th century american/english music print styles

    Haha, you're right! I see it in some old Bach manuscripts too. I lose.

    Dude... You did it all wrong...

    You cant put up a pic of a bass like that with no sound clips...

    Dont worry about being "Modest" if you suck at DB, We dont care, PUT UP SOUND CLIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It looks like the bridge has a big enough radius to play arco. Although I think with the string spacing and string guages I would probably opt for a cello bow. What scale is the bass?

    I'd love to hear soundclips.
