I found this on Facebook... from Basstheworld.com

http://www.basslab.de/pics/instruments/l-bow/index.html

Not my cup of tea either but the Germans are certainly pushing the boundaries of instrument design.

Apparently it's synthetic, hollow, and has a lower resonant frequency than wood, resulting in enormous bottom end and low mids.

Too bad such a well-thought out and well-designed bass had to be equipped with an external hexaphonic midi pickup. I'm sure there are much more elegant solutions for that (integrated in the bridge saddles).
