Hybrid is a 5-string multi-scale headless bass with MIDI pickups for playing Neurometal. The sound of on-board pickups can be blended with a remote bass synth to create a unique “hybrid” sound.

A built-in oscilloscope can display a waveform from a bass synth driven by MIDI via a Bluetooth Audio connection to support live sound design.

As modern music production trends placed musicians behind a computer, a need for a new instrument has emerged that makes it possible to maintain sophisticated sound design while providing an exciting live experience.

A built-in Roland GK-3B MIDI pickup is used to drive synth bass, including popular software synthesizers like FM8 and Massive X.

Fishman Fluence bass soapbar pickups support blending modern and vintage voicing to add flavor to any track:

This bass is equipped with ABM7011C string locks and ABM3901C bridges.

Two knobs on the bottom control bass and treble while a pair of S701 slide switches accessible from the back toggle between bridge/neck, and classic/modern voicings.

The built-in oscilloscope implemented with Itsy Bitsy 3V micro-controller analyzes audio signals coming from a bluetooth audio receiver and displays the waveforms on the screen to provide visual feedback:
