Fascinating, Jim... 2-string bass by Eastwood

[HeadlessBassist]

Anyone seen or played one of these? Apparently, all the money's on the E-string...

Love morphine! One upon a time I converted an old vintage sg into a two string bass ala the presidents of the USA. Why did I ever sell it 😭

Mark Sandman tuned his in a fifth, D and A, and used a slide. A fantastic, unique sound and brilliant band.

Love Morphine, no bassist was ever as original as Mark Sandman. What a sound!

I’m glad that I’ve seen them live several times.

Why a 4-string nut?

[HeadlessBassist]

I'd imagine no one mass produces a 2-string nut. For good reason. Well spotted though, Beedster.

Sandberg made some two string basses and so did Waterstone.

 

I'm surprised nobody put a 2-string Chris Ballew Gitbassinto production.
