Double Bass Learning to play the Omni Bass for the first time

[Oscar Stern]

I just got my first Omni Bass (a custom made CR 6 string Fretted Model tuned BEADGC) & I find that it combines the best of both Electric Bass & Upright Bass. The Omni Bass is a combination of an Electric Bass (34 inch Scale, has Pickups), and an Upright Bass (it can be played with a Bow).

Can we see a photo? I've only seen 4 and 5 string models before.

The 6 string Omni Bass isn't on the website yet but it will be on the website someday.

Well, don't you have it with you? As you said in your first post, you just got it. Can't you take a picture and upload it here?

It looks similar to the 5 string Omni Bass, only difference is the extra string & extra machine head.

I mean, sure, I can imagine what it looks like, but you say that you have one. Can't you just take a quick photo and upload it?

That's fine, I don't mind seeing it with no strings, just interested in seeing it in the first place. Does it really need polishing if you just got it brand new and custom built?

Dude, let the man post pics when he's ready.

You got an OMNI bass, an Ibanez UB805 and a 5 string double bass all in a week?

Forgive me for my excitement to see a unique instrument that I can find no mention of anywhere else on the internet.

Not just any 5 string double bass, but a Thomas & George Martin

Take anything he says with a grain of salt. He has a history of making exaggerated and/or fabricated statements on the forum. Sometimes contradicting himself when confronted or avoiding answering questions at all.

One of the latest is a tale about playing electric bass in a concert band that has an accordion and bagpipe section.

Yeah, his vibe is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, for sure. I ignore him but then TB starts looking like Swiss cheese with how much he's posting these days. I end up unignoring just to see what everyone is talking about. TBH, I actually appreciate the reminder of how much I'm wasting my time on even the best part of the internet, lol.

Then Oscar, please show us a picture of the basses that you have recently purchased together. That will put all the questioning to rest.
