I, umm, uh... urp! :blob7:

Isn't that like one string too many?

Isn't that like one string too many?

Or maybe 11 strings too many?  :sad1:

All I want to know, as I'm sure most of us do, is WHY??????

 

[simple]

Why do I think..."Sturgeon" when I look at that?

 

[Tweed]

As far as I can tell, this looks like a cheaper version of something like a Warr guitar. Those are "touch guitars." They're played by tapping the strings to the frets with both hands instead of picking. Like a Chapman stick. Trey Gunn, formerly of King Crimson, only uses Warr guitars. Youtube. Go.

Who makes 15 string bass string sets?

 

[neilium]

Imagine auditioning a bass player and seeing him pull that thing out of his case.  :tard:  :confused4:

The ebay ad states "ideal bass for the average to advance (sic) player". They're also selling this gem. I'd love to see a four piece combo rocking out these instruments. They'd have to be pretty buff to even strap these on. Classic.

Didn't Granny Clampett use to jam out on one of those using a feather as a pick?

:icon_scratch:

 

[SkuttleFunk]

nice - a bass that give guitarists string envy!

  :toothy12:

all the best,

Ideal for Dave Grohl, if you've ever seen the "Everlong" promo video.

When your axe has 3 necks, 3 3-way switches, and 6 knobs, you know you have a problem.

 

[jackthehack]

Can you use zither tuning on that?

 

[Patrick from Davis]

I think it might be a little neck heavy.  I wonder how big of a piece of wood you'd have to put under your left foot to make CB's target shooters trick work.

That's insane.  I've seen bass virtuosos use 8 or 9 string basses but 15?!  That's the same seller that made the mandolin/7-string guitar doubleneck I posted a while back.

 

[Alfang]

At what point do you call that a piano?

 

[Orpheo]

just as useless as this

All you have to do to post videos here is put the link to the video in the post and it will embed it for you automatically. That's why your vid showed up 3 times...  I use the same mod on another SMF board.

After looking at that thing, I had to seek the antidote. Damn, I seriously miss this band.
