discreet Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I felt how I would feel if I discovered a dead and festering Elk in Dulwich Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 A rather ordinary looking bass with an interesting concept. However I'm not keen on the way the photographs manage to avoid showing clearly what is happening to the standard strings where they pass over the fret/nut and through the fingerboard. Also I can't help but feel that this lends itself far better to a headless design rather than the current Heath Robinson arrangement to get the strings to the tuners.

tauzero Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Why not just get a normal 6-string and not play below fret 2 on the top four strings? Works for me on 5-string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEvans Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I like the colour scheme. All six strings look a bit wrong to me but that aside, I'm up for the concept... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Since 99% of people can't hear as far down as that low E, it's a waste of effort as far as I'm concerned. As others have said, it has some questions about its design as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 If ever I need an illustration of the concept "a solution in search of a problem", then I can point to this instrument. After scratching my head over what possible use this thing could ever have, I finally realised that the split colour scheme is a massive clue: it's the Brown Note Bass!
