chrismuzz Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm surprised 2 string basses aren't more readily available, I reckon loads of people would buy one, especially if they were cheaper than their 4 or more string counterparts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 And the best-known exponent of the two-string bass, Stig Pedersen of DAD...

pietruszka Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The presidents of the USA have a 2 string bass and a 3 string guitar, though they aren't that tidy and more of a home mod kinda thing. Sounds great though! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPHDS Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I was about ot mention Stig, apparently he made them himself after finding he didn't really use the other two strings.....! Awesome band! Here are a couple more of his creations......! http://www.flickr.com/photos/micumic/6023753758/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ruimleal/4178831415/ http://farm1.static.flickr.com/210/519614781_50f610b2d9.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRBboy Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think Sandberg have made those for a few of their bigger stockists. PMT Brum have got one there with their logo painted on it. Don't think I'd like 'em, neck must feel like half a broom handle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime_BASS Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm sure I saw a 1 string version on Sandberg's site too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
