    Bowable Bass

    Alright man , appreciate it. All of you have been absolutely wonderful. I'm new to the classical instruments, just picked up on violin but I'm a bassist at heart. The Omni bass is absolutely what I'm looking for. Thanks all.

    Bowable Bass

    I can do the same thing with the Ergo with the omni correct? Slap a boomerange strap on that beast of an instrument. I don't know why but it looks much bigger than the others I've looked at, maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me. It's not strictly upright though is it?

    Bowable Bass

    I totally read that the wrong way, I looked at that as pizzicato, I apologize so much. I type a little too hastily. But yeah, I'm not sure I'm willing to throw that much money away. Saving up for an Omni would probably be the best choice. $71 a month for 24 months isn't bad. The payment options...

    Bowable Bass

    Yeah, planned on picking up something like that, I wouldn't want to play horizontally. You guys are being a huge help, thank you

    Bowable Bass

    Yeah, I don't want to lose piezo when playing, is the omni bass the same way? I would want magnetic pickups, going about this my own way may be cheaper but I want to make sure it functions properly and I know modifying a bass would be riskier than buying the omni.

    Bowable Bass

    This may be a stupid question, I'm just making sure I can transfer over to something like this without trouble, but I know on a double bass etc the scales are all different and change position because of the note changes. This wouldn't be the case here correct?

    So, would doing this change the notes on the fingerboard? Could I just arch a fretless bass? I want this to be as close to a regular bass as possible, One that could be played strapped and not upright as well. I'm willing to do some experimenting.

    Bowable Bass

    Hello everyone, I'm here today with a rather unique question. I've been a fan of the Cello and Violin and I also love the Bass. I'm a huge Victor Wooten fan and in a video I saw him use a bowable bass. However, like all other basses, you could only bow the top and bottom string. (E and G). My...

    Double Bass Double bass neck

    Okay, hello everybody. I'm here with a rather odd but interesting question. Could you put a double bass neck onto an electric bass body and play it like you would an ordinary electric bass? So basically, an upright bass that isn't upright. You'd have to change your pickups and strings possibly...
