Seller of Hand-Knit Strap Pads | | | | | Here Is A Video Of My Fiberglass Bass!!!!
For anyone curious about how it sounds.
It is amplified through a Peavey Micro Bass via a dual piezo bridge unit I made. Bass is tuned a half step low.
The sound quality is pretty low as I only have a cheap Kodak with a pinhole mic. Put on headphones if you have them, it improves the quality a great deal.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO-chJqjoAg
Tell me what you think..

With the amp it loses some high end and sounds slightly more like a bass guitar. I'll maybe make another vid some time unplugged and show the arco tone as well.
Oh, did you wear headphones?

You will really need headphones to hear the tone clearly and remember that I do not play arco and this is a violin bow.
Its got unplugged pizz as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TZV9RHHJpc

When and if I want to take up the bow, I will buy a proper one...lol

Thanks for the additional clips. Sounds pretty good.
Enjoy!
