ABSTRACT:
An electric stringed musical instrument of the lute family, and in particular, a double bass, wherein the body, neck, and headstock are cut out of a single laminated section of a cone. The front surface of the headstock is coplanar with the neck and body, and the back surface is substantially concentric with the front surface. The strings are anchored in a central cutout in the headstock. Also disclosed is a neck-straightening truss rod capable of exerting either compressive or tensile forces on the neck, a pair of sensors sensitive to string vibrations coupled the bridge which are summed and differenced to provide signals useful in connection with plucked and bowed strings respectively, and a twist resisting support to make a slim double bass practical.
