The Bace, built by Mark Zandveld, played by Samuel Carry

The Bace () is an instrument designed for bass guitar players looking for a contrabass sound, while keeping the familiar feel of a traditional bass guitar. The sound is probably as close to an upright as you can get with a 34″ scale cello sized instrument.
