15-string Prat Bass for Jauqo III-X

[odin70]

Beautiful! Since the octave strings are above the bass string.. is it going to be played with a pick?

Check out Jauqos site. He'd make that thing sing even if he played it w/ a 9-iron

I approach it just like I do with any bass. I utilize fingerstyle, slapping, chordal, and many other techniques as well as playing with a pick.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why isn't it set up where you'd hit the octaves first on the down stroke? I'm on cold medicine at the moment so forgive if I worded that poorly. Most 8-string basses I see have the main strings on the bottom and octave on top when you're holding it.

Or I might need to revisit my NyQuil coma until I can process thoughts more betterer.

Most 8-string basses I see have the main strings on the bottom and octave on top when you're holding it.

Most dual or triple course basses are made for some one who's primarily a pick player. My approach is that when I thump the E and A string I will hit the fundamental strings first. When I play fingerstyle I will hit the octave strings before I hit the fundamentals but the fundamental is in the mix. Just a natural flow.

I know its not symmetrical, but I think that the headstock looks way more balanced and ascetically pleasing with the tuners moved to the correct position.

Anyway, great looking bass!

I agree.

Ok, so we have the first video! My friend James Walker can't resist to play it. He never played 15, but it sounds pretty decent!

Oscar,
Good to see you on here, my man! I never did get back to you about using the Youtube clips from Summer NAMM. I don't see a problem with this if you'd still like to post them.
Sorry I won't make it to Anaheim this time, but perhaps I'll see you at Summer NAMM in Nashville.
Best,
Roy
Oh, I see you did already! Cool!

Hi Roy!
Thank you very much! It was a pleasure for me to meet you personally. Sometimes, I find better person than a player, and this is very difficult with you, because you are AMAZING!
See you soon

Wow, that bass is amazing. I couldn't imagine trying to play it though

Very cool Jauqo, What gauge strings are those?

Hey Brian I think the gauges are.

E1 .080/ E2 .040/.040
A1 .060/ A2 030./030
D2 .040/ D3 .020/.020
G2 .030/G3 .013 .013
C3 .025 or .024 / 2 .010 ,010


But right now I'm not sure.

 

[bThumper38]

That things sounds awesome. It didn't look like a standard E string. Do you still have your other (name not mentioned) bass similar to that one?

 

[JAUQO III-X]

Do you still have your other (name not mentioned) bass similar to that one?

No. I got rid of it a while ago.

 

[bThumper38]

Keep me on your list when you decide to thin the herd. I hope I can come take that one for a test-drive, when you get some time.
