We don't have much on Double Bass in this forum, but this is too cool not to share! 

Joel Illerhag's project, "the Electromagnetically-Prepared Double bass with 39 sympathetic strings"! 

NO loudspeakers!

@ABitRusty -

I thought this was pretty ingenious!  

LOVE the sound of sympathetic strings (one reason I appreciate my 5th string)!

ALSO LOVE that Joel can just use the keyboard to generate real acoustic sound - very unique! 

Really like he used Carbon Fiber.

...just thinking of the cost to change out strings. 😖
