Malkav That's quite overkill but the spacing between the strings would probably make this thing quite difficult to fret cleanly making me wonder of it's validity as a bass, if you go on youtube and search "Jean Baudin - Transcend" you'll see an 11-string bassist make it seem like quite a valid instrument if playing solo is your presence ?
arjunmenon Kinda like the Warr guitars & bass guitars. Very interesting, but i guess its purely a solo instrument.
Malkav I don't really see an issue with it being a solo instrument I mean Jean Baudin makes amazing use of it ? and if I could afford one I'd love it ? I'd really love to know what it is though? Also check out his track "Be Water, My Friend" it's intensely awesome ?
[deleted] It looks like a new-age sitar with pickups! (Though according to Wiki, sitars can have up to 23 strings?! ???)
PeteM Oh well, I guess the Luthier saw a gap in the market, that being that bass players always want to fiddle around in the guitarist's register. ? You've got to sympathise with them though - plonking away on the bottom end all the time. ?
