The DIJBASS combines the ancient sound of the didgeridoo with the modern electric bass guitar in one instrument.

With a hollow body constructed of welded and machined 6061 anodized aluminum, the DIJBASS uses a system of internal baffles to 'fold' the air flow in half and direct it out the front holes. This allows the acoustics of a full-sized didgeridoo to fit into a 24-inch long package.

An internal condenser microphone picks up the didge sounds while the externally-mounted bass pickup amplifies the bass strings.

Features of the DIJBASS include an eccentric nut that raises the 2 middle strings to form an arch at the turn of a dial. This allows the instrument to be played with a violin bow.

The latest feature is a series of tuning holes down the left side of the fingerboard. Using rubber plugs in various combinations, these allow the didgeridoo portion of the instrument to be tuned in a range of B to F, including flats and sharps.
