They make a number of devices including MIDI converters and a couple of bass pedal synthesizers, the Suarus Bass Pedal Synthesizer for $199 and the Sonosaur Analog Bass pedal for $99 pictured below. There are samples in the Saurus bass Pedal listing. Via Music Thing.

Update via BLevine in the comments: "Just a note. I have purchased the rights to the Sonosaur from Cano Electronics and have incorporated them into a new bass pedal synth, the Basyn (www.basyn.com). I will continue to make the Sonosaur available. The current price is $124.95."
