This is so amazing I don’t know where to begin. Let’s start with the facts: this is a Commodore 64 transformed into a bass guitar. But it’s more than that. These mods are usually just an aesthetic thing, a cool gimmick but a gimmick nonetheless. This Commodore 64 bass guitar, however, actually uses the original sound chip in the Commodore 64 to make sound. It’s out of this world.
And it gets better. The strings on the guitar can be used, obviously, to render sounds from the C64 sound chip, but the keys on the keyboard also get in on the act, transforming the bass guitar into a bass keytar. Honestly, this is off the richter. I just love that this exists. I also want to play one. Own one. Caress the goddamn thing.
It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.
Thanks Andrew!
