Dubious Electrics is a sample library of ten different electric instruments, each of them in some way off the beaten path. It contains:
- Extralow bass - a semihollow Washburn AB-95 5-string strung with an extra heavy string on the bottom, tuned to E an octave below a standard bass's low E, and with shortened double bass strings for the other four strings.
- Solid violin bass - an early 60s Eko, from the time before they started making hollow-bodied violin basses.
- 8-string bass - a classic Hagstrom 8-string bass from the later 60s.
- Wurli Bass VI - Wurlitzer's take on the Fender Bass VI, that is to say a 6-string tuned an octave below a typical electric guitar. Arguably a baritone guitar and not a "true" bass.
- Rocket guitar - a Harmony Rocket hollowbody with three pickups, not rocket-shaped in the least.
- Violin guitar - a Kingston-brand hollowbody with uneven output.
Longhorn guitar - aside from the body shape this has little in common with Danelectro's longhorns, but the incorrectly wired pickups do give it a similarly bright sound. - Fretless guitar - a shredder from the 80s or 90s, with its frets removed.
- 12-String guitar - the guitar version of Hagstrom's 8-string bass.
- Electric banjo - a solidbody constructed like a typical electric guitar, but with a 28-fret banjo neck and a foam mute which doesn't quite work right.
