Diseases such as ALS and muscular dystrophy have no cure, and cause a loss of muscle function as the disease progresses. This project was aimed to help those with disabled arms or hands play the bass guitar, creating a prototype bass guitar that received user input from an easy to use controller, designed to mimic bass playing in its design. A microcontroller processes the signals from the user and from the guitar, and controls a motor that adjusts the tension on the string.
