I wonder what that thing sounds like.

Somehow I fear that a Mando-Bass would sound too much like one of those acoustic BGs. No matter what, I'd sure love to have either style Mando-Bass sitting in my living room.

Is that F-Style Mando-Bass actually 7 feet tall or is that just a short person playing it? Either way, it's one of the most interesting sights I've ever seen. Sort of a David Grisman meets Godzilla thing.

Mandocello is played like a regular mandolin or bouzouki, with a pick.
