Okay so I looked it up. This guy does it and it’s pretty cool. However, it’s kinda like how I thought it would be, it’s not perfect sounding, and you’re somewhat limited on what you can play. The middle strings you can’t play unless you were going to run the bow across all four strings to make chords and they would sound like shit. and he’s bowing up high on the neck instead of down where it should be so it messes with the harmonics a tiny bit… But it’s still better than I expected! Maybe Octavia could try that.

I think that would probably be a pain in the ass. I am curious to see it tried but I’m doubtful Octavia or anyone without loads of skill or knowledge of both instrumente would do it well. The bridge on a guitar is low and flat compared to a string bass or cello. That means the strings would be hard to do anything on besides chords probably. And unless you really had specific guitar practicing, you wouldn’t know how to do play chords on it. As a string bass player (that’s a contrabass or more specifically, “double bass” not a cello), you could easily fake like you knew what you were doing after some dinking around with simple melodies on a guitar. This is because almost all acoustic or electric string instruments, fretless or not, operate on the same peinciples: You shorten the length of a string by specific units and the pitch is heightened by specific amounts, and also a double bass is tuned to the same notes as a guitar, bass or otherwise. But chords are usually only 2 notes at a time and are less common on a double bass (or a bass guitar either) or they are “broken” into their individual notes and played in rapid succession in what is known as an “arpeggio” or “arp.” So trying to play much with a bow would be very difficult on a bass guitar, even for a gifted musician like Octavia.
Thanks that works 👍
Try this one.
