Its all a question of cool

Quite possibly, the Buddah does -

 

...I love it!
Way back when, I argued it was more difficult playing a ONE-string vs. any multi-string instrument!

BTW, Sam Rivers plays guitar? I thought he played sax & flute?

 

either les claypool's four string carl tompson with tremolo or alain caron's signature f bass

 

Me too!!!!

 

Quite a contrast - from playing a 9 stringer, to a 1 string. No one can tease him for playing too many strings this time.

 

Beefcake the Mighty -- back in his Scumdogs of the Universe days, he played what looked to be a Steinberger with a steak for a body (check it out on the Tour De Scum video). I have also seen him with an Ibanez Iceman bass (ICB500) -- very cool!

 

thats the wrong rivers i think, the one with the flashy warwick is the limp bizkit bassist
and his bass KICK ASS IMO

 

Oy...am I the only one that sees how bad a photoshop chopjob that is?



Edit: One of these days I'll learn how to make them smilies correctly.

 

can someone please give me a reason why in the hell someone would want a freaking one stringed bass? besides as a joke or shock value or whatever.

 

Chordaphobia????

 

Yea I saw him playing that thing live a while back, sounded real sweet except when he slaped it, man he can't mute for crap.

 

"Nuff said! This bass rules! I hear the guy who plays it is decent, too.

 

rickbass's pbass

 

Who? Uh I dunno who has the coolest axe.

Wait, wait...JT's Doublenecked Seven. For sure.

 

The Rainbow Bass is cool.. but I like this one:

You're right, by golly!

To the person who did this, good one!

 

I admit responsibility for that one.
I did it using Livepix and Paintshop pro4.

here's the original Bill Dickens pic- you might notice the real bass he was playing had a few more strings-

 

Haha well done.

 

Looks like he has guitar envy.
