The goal of my electric upright bass design, is to incorporate the natural wood resonances of the acoustic upright bass into a portable low weight (3,5kg / 7.7lbs) instrument, while keeping the scale length of a ¾ bass and the possibility to use normal strings.
To achieve this goal, I ended up redesigning practically all components. Some components like the neck and tuners look familiar, others like the tailpiece, body and endpin, have undergone a drastic makeover. However, like in etymology, mutations can still be traced back to their origins.
