Exactly what I thought - a bass viol would be in the same size as a cello and be closer to guitar tuning (and with a flat back probably more manageable played as it if were an archtop).
If it just has to be visually different: graft a neck, strings and PU onto one of those slabs of marble?  |
Thanks, that nylon archtop looks cool, but I think I'm going to get a baritone 12'r and try and make it my own kind of sound (it may not yet be a 'good' sound...
).
I have seen/handled enough marble that I am quite happy to spend my non-working hours with wood!
