There were a few of these on display at Deke Dickerson's "Guitar Geek Fest" during NAMM `09; IIRC, there was a whole string group in the 30s that played these, including the bass. Most people probably think the first time this sort of thing showed up was in the 80s. The first time I ever saw anyone play anything like this was Sting playing a bass version in a Police video, but these predate that by about 50 years.
sting's upright was not a rickenbacker though. it was a late '70's/early '80's electric using only enought body structure to hold the neck and strings, just as andy summers used the gittler skeleton guitar in another police vid. everyone was trying the minimalist vibe as was the chapman stick and steinberger.

I've always thought that the Bakelite violin would be a natural fit . . . in a Klingon band.
