Sounds like muddy sh*te on the youtube videos I watched of her demonstrating it. I much prefer the Rick tone. Proof that it works in a duo is in the band Death From Above 1969. Good stuff that.

agree on that- the live clip of them covering Rush's Limelight is pretty awful- the tuning sounds out and flubbed notes aplenty.

her playing on the Rick is great, but not so sure about her voice-

she sounds just like the singer of Fiery furnaces-

and it sounds a bit weak over the heavy instruments.

funny how the bit at 6.11 where she shows the same riff on the 4 and 12 actually shows the 4 to sound so much better-

definition and grind.
I think the fundamentals of the octave strings mask the harmonics of the regular strings, and adding distortion just muddies it up further.

Doug Pinnick used a crossover to split the highs to go through guitar amps for distortion,
and John Paul Jones had stereo outputs on his doubled-string Manson basses, sending the bridge pickup through distortion,
so i think the signal on doubled/tripled-stringers needs extra separation, esp. when using distortion.
