The BackBeat is a high-tech subwoofer system that is designed to make it possible for bass guitar players to well and truly feel the full, thunderous force of their playing.

Designed by noted bass player Yerko Sepulveda, the BackBeat can be attached to the player's guitar strap, and is capable of vibrating the bass guitar's output on the lower end of the sound spectrum. Players can also control how intense they want the vibration to be, so as to ensure that it doesn't end up interfering with their ability to play accurately and precisely.

Available on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/db) for pledges starting at $299, this subwoofer system is the latest entrant into the [wearable musical gadget](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gadol-vibration-speaker) space, which targets musicians who are looking for a more immersive playing experience.
