no need to wonder, from the vid description:
"Playing a 15 Strings Bass Solo... that's way too big..
The first 5 strings are just too low... You just cant play any clear note... lol"

looks even worse in that vid - is it just me or a the bottom 3 string touching each other?

They are.

It wasn't originally a 15 string, if you look at the bridge it only has 10 saddles, so I'm guessing it was a 10 string, someone has bodged it together, adding extra strings, that it wasn't designed to take.

I love ERBs, real ones anyway. I don't understand the animosity toward them, it baffles me. If someone wants to build one, own one, play one then that's their choice. Chris Cardone says in the one video that he's had horrible things said to him on Facebook, why ? I'm friends with Chris on Facebook, he comes across as probably what he is in real life, a nice and caring human being, so why someone would say horrible things because he has an ERB is beyond me.

The video looks completely fake to me. As though he's just miming along to something that has been played on a different bass.

I thought that, there's at least one slapped note on the track that he doesn't play.
