I'm not really sure how to categorize this, so I'll just leave it here. It is a bass, of sorts, after all...

He needs a set up. His intonation is waaaay off. Cool idea though.

Yeah, but is it good for metal?

Maybe add some fuzz or distortion.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I love that groove they have going on.

To think..... I've spent THOUSANDS of basses over the past 30 years.....I could have had it all for a $2 bag of balloons !!!

As someone who twists balloons as a secondary artistic venture (actually it pays more than music on an hourly basis does in the long run), you're looking at about $7.00 for the bag of balloons if you want em to last decently long. The ones at most grocery stores/discount stores are so stale, they'd break under the pressure that Addi is putting them under...

At least an sx won't make your finger turn blue and fall off from lack of circulation. (I hope anyway...)

That's stupid, amazing, inane, cool, vapid and inspiring.

So would that count as fretless, headless or both?

Air guitar

Ok, I have to do it...
Let's compare, the balloon bass; and this.

Which do you prefer?

Oh my, Papazita, that Wishbass sounds like what I'd imagine a manatee mating song would sound like

"Hi, I'm Andy, and I play this box"


I've seen this before, and was actually just thinking of this earlier today. Im tempted to run to town and get me some baloons

The balloon bass, for sure. That Wishbass just make me laugh
