One Neck Isn’t Enough
I had an idea in mind for an instrument I wanted to build. My curiosity was to hear the sound of violin, viola and cello strings amplified through the body of a double bass. I came up with a quadruple-neck experimental ‘something’ that I thought to call Experibass.
By Diego Stocco.
And a kick drum pedal too. Very cool.
Absolutely FANTASTIC.
MOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRRR.
Heh, you’re just a sucker for a gimmick.
Rather cute, though obviously a lot of digital manipulation in that video there.
I suspect if you wanted to utilise Experibass to its full capacity (thereby making the experiment worthwhile) you’d have to get a super-intelligent octopus trained in violin, cello, and bass, and subjected to rigorous training in the music of the 17th, 18th and 19th century.
Are you familiar with That 1 Guy?
