This is called the Quadrant. Here's a view looking from the 'body' end

And Ned Steinberger checking one out at NAMM
Phaedrus takes the Steinberger concept of a minimal bass the it's extreme. This is bassically a 3/8" strip of steel with strings, a pickup, and associated electronics attached to it. There's 3 versions, the 4-string Quadrant, 5-string Destructor and the single string Proton. I'm not sure exactly what the availability of these basses is at the moment. When I first came across them the site had it's own domain, but now it's piggy-backed onto vikingmovie.com. Phaedrus inventor Thayer DeMay isn't brilliant at answering emails, but lat time I was in touch, the Quadrant was at a special offer price of $500[/quote]
[center]Hi... i'm the guy who did the Phaedrus Instruments, and the address is changed permanently [url="http://www.skylabdigital.com"]www.skylabdigital.com[/url]. There's all sorts of new stuff on there, with Youtube links, etc.
Sorry, none of these are for sale (they are all one-of-a-kind prototypes), but feel free to try to make on of your own. Cheers!
