15 string bass alert!

[Darkstrike]

whats the string spacing like 10mm LOL.. Yikes..

It's different at every string!

 

[Eric Perry]

The bass strings aren't that much thicker than the treble side strings. At all. Seriously, what could it possibly be tuned in? I think there are three E strings, three A, three D, and three G. The beauty here is if you pop a string, even twice, you are left with a fully functional 4-string bass. Of the utmost quality, no doubt!

There doesn't seem to be that much difference in gauge between the high and low strings. Would it even tune up properly?

 

[Rhythm5]

OK, maybe I'm just old school, but is it really a bass with 15 strings? What's that neck made out of, a 2x8 ?

 

[PWRL]

;Do they offer a paired 30 stringer, too?

I say we call this kind of neck-through a Berlin-through.

Yeah, it looks like its tuned BBB EEE AAA DDD GGG. Its the most super 5 string ever.

 

[arthurzen]

Useless.

Edit: In my hands/opinion, anyway

 

[Thunderitter]

I like how they say it's good for the average to advanced player

I laughed at that too!!

...average to advanced or maybe just downright crazy!

 

[Bassist4Life]

It looks like the inside of a piano...

 

[Joe Gress]

that bass is insane ...

But a 10 string with octaves is cool ...

Nah Jauqo's got a fifteen string fretless that looks just plain fun to play.

 

[megadan]

Wow.

I know TB rules say we're not allowed to make fun of basses, but that is really, uh, interesting looking.
If I saw someone playing this, I personally would probably laugh out loud, I can't imagine what kind of contortions you'd have to do to get at those top strings! You'd have to wrap your arms all the way around. Like hugging a floor beam

edit: I just noticed how the pickups way over shoot the strings. There's no way they expect to sell those.

 

[Mon Rominee]

TMI!! TMI!!!

Let me guess, then your left hand started hurting, just thinking about playing it???

Hahahaha, no, just having a lazy Sunday is all....

 

[Basshole]

I was excited for a second when I read the title. I thought it was a triple 5-ver.

That's just useless. Calculate the intervals. You can't tune it like bass.

Someone ask the guy how it's tuned, just to watch him FAIL.

 

[Basshole]

...And yeah, I'm LOVING the "variable string spacing". Keeps you guessing while you play, I suppose.

omg that floor beam thing killed me

 

[Human Bass]

The bass looks lame, but not horrible. Just lame.

 

[Gruntollio Bass]

That's absurd!

 

[Mark Wilson]

I'd buy it just to say "yea. I bought that 15 string bass".
