Very much so for... [Idea]

Mike Scott, if he ever becomes blind.
This was sparked when Abi mentioned about a braille bass. Last night, while going to sleep, I had a brain wave how to do it!

~Right, what we do, is we make it the same as a normal one; near enough. Except on top of the volume knob we put a V in braille, tone we put a T and if it has pickup control we put a P. Smart, eh?

~Next, for the neck, we will need to engrave into the back of the neck, immediately behind the fret, a groove. In between two of the grooves, we will stick little braille nobbles that say the fret number. Hopefully, blind people can use their thumb?

~Thirdly, because they'd need to tune it. On the tuning pegs we can have braille, once again, and it says E, A, D or G. Also, as they will need to know when to stop tuning up, or down, we will make a new tuner. This will shout out the note and whether to raise it or lower it. This will work off vibrations of the neck/string, much like the one I'm using.

Voila! A bass guitar you could play with your eyes shut...Although we can partially do that.
