SJA Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) I think that 5 string bass is being sold on ebay by tropicalmoonmusic. I like how it's got a split p pickup for just one string Edited January 2, 2008 by SJA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_u_y_* Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I love the logic! As if it is impossible to make the fretboard any other width. Still, I wonder if people of the future will be laughing at how we think the future will be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanson Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Sooo....What do WE think the Bass of the Future is going to be like?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 the bass of the future will have so many strings and such a wide fingerboard as a result, that players will have to wear Tony Levin-style "Funk finger" extensions on both their plucking and fretting hands.

SJA Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 - but artificially aged by a revolutionary new relicing technique (involving putting it in a special bin with various specially chosen "distressing rocks" and rolling it down a hill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Here's what they used to think the future would have looked like in the past. Um.

LordAvon Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 For me, I'd like one of these ;- [url="http://www.stick.com/instruments/sb8/"]http://www.stick.com/instruments/sb8/[/url] I couldn't get on with the regular version (I had a 10 string stick, 5 bass, 5 trebble) but I'd love to try a bass stick.
