The Jam Bass. $199.98. Cool, but I wonder how hard it is to play? [Via MusicThing]

‘The world’s first musical instrument and MIDI controller enabling you to play bass and guitar independently at the same time…The Jam Bass is a wafer-thin neck back panel for guitars that duplicates the bottom E and A strings fret by fret, voiced an octave lower like a bass guitar. The strip then plugs into a circuit pack that generates 128 Bass Audio Voices and also generates MIDI control signals! That’s right — both audio and MIDI outputs.’
