===Description===
 
The idea is to augment a bass guitar to
 
# extend the range of sounds it can make
 
# control realtime effects with it.
 
===Goal 1: Drum triggering===
 
Triggering drum sounds while playing. For example, having low-pitched notes trigger kick-drum sounds and high pitched ones trigger snare-drum sounds.
 
===Goal 2: Control via inclination===
 
Making the neck's inclination control an effect. For example, tilting it up increases a reverb's room size.
 
===Hardware===
 
* A cheap Cort bass, doesn't sound too good but looks pretty.
 
* [http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120796072992#ht_1208wt_1110 Contact microphones]
 
* Accelerometers
 
 
 
===Milestones===
 
====November 3rd====
 
* Bass and contact microphones brought to Hackspace.
 
* Brainstorming.
