jackhammer Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Wait till the video pans up from the pedal... I had the biggest shock of my life, have I been missing something?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj1JGyhGKMw&feature=youtube_gdata_player Quote
LukeFRC Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 yeah, apparently the E sounds better or something. Bass player from Jamiroqui told me Quote
Nibody Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 To be ideal it wouldnt have any fretts past the 7th... Quote
BigRedX Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Pah... pretentious musos with their multi-string basses... This is all you really need: [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/DSC02853.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/DSC02870.jpg[/IMG] Quote
chrismuzz Posted May 11, 2012 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
BigRedX Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 And the best-known exponent of the two-string bass, Stig Pedersen of DAD... [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/5453_file_8766_3-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/4131_file_149_3.jpg[/IMG] Quote
pietruszka Posted May 11, 2012 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
SPHDS Posted May 12, 2012 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
TRBboy Posted May 24, 2012 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
lxxwj Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 A luthier in my area makes guitar/basses. http://www.wlguitars.com/instrument/8s Pretty cool stuff I think! Quote
bigsmokebass Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 [quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1336756528' post='1650668'] Brilliant!...A fretless chair leg!!! [/quote] i lolled! Quote
paul h Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Curtain pole, gaffa tape and a hammer. That's all you need. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjs9EQ1A8i8 Quote
Prime_BASS Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 I'm sure I saw a 1 string version on Sandberg's site too. Quote
