.375 string by Octave 4 Plus.

"Here is a photo of a test string for a string set we are making for a customer that is tuned to F000 to F#0 ( about 5Hz) on a 34" scale bass guitar. The gauge is a .375 . To put things in perspective, the string next to it is a .217."

I was reluctant to post this because of some of the comments that might follow

EDIT That was just a rough test string, here's the result:

Perfect for giving your audience a free sonic colonic.

 

[mmbongo]

That actually looks photoshopped! How does it even sit in the saddle?

I think I'm gonna' go watch Tremors.

You could use that to tie the space shuttle to the space station, to hold up a suspension bridge, for the anchor on a cruise ship......

 

[Angus]

...so perhaps we shouldn't criticise the setup...

That directed at me?

Frequency probably so slow you could count the oscillations.

 

[Michael Henson]

It's like a built-in dubstep string..


WOB-WOB-WOB-WOB-WOB!

Haha ... no honestly it's just my bad way with words ... i edited it now i know it is a test string to be fair to O4P:

Nope.

Why would anyone want to tune this low? So silly.

 

[Doodaddy]

I'd be more curious on how it's tuned that low accurately.

 

[FunkMetalBass]

....Wow.

By my estimates, that would have ~45lbs of tension at the 34" scale if tuned to G#00 (12.98 Hz).

Is it bad that I want one?

Why would anyone want to tune this low? So silly.

Yes, silliness really ought to be against the law. Also doing anything that has not been done before- which is, of COURSE- completely silly

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Can I ask how many pounds the string weighs?
