#Ecco. A #DIY bass/percussion/string instrument.
I've build this from parts typically found in theater workshops and used it in numerous concerts and recordings since 2013, prominently on the latest @Air Cushion Finish album.

@Hans Would should not be hardwood - better body of sound. And make sure to get 2.5 mm ø black coated steel strings, used in theater to make people fly on stage without sing the strings ;) Also you will need two entirely different pickups, 2 resistors and some soldring skills. All described on my page link above.
