Less is more- 1 string bassist club

[aronnes71]

Is it only me, or is there other with a 1 string bass out there?

Mine:
1 string Paralellogram bass (Tore bass build #1)
- 34" scale
- Tuned in D (or E sometimes)

Cheers
Tore

Are you serious? That is too funny! I can only imagine what slapping sounds like on this. It is a beautiful "cyclops" bass, though!

 

[JimmyThunder]

Love it!

Dude, you gotta get a D-Tuner for that thing..............B.

I could get by with a three string. I just don't like the higher notes...

Not sure I would be comfortable with a fretless, though.

 

[BassMonstrum]

Wow! Hello, GAS!

Du må gjerne joine vår Norske bassister klubb her på TB

 

[waleross]

How about an old fashioned Washtub Bass? However great pics.........

 

[SallyGrowler]

cool!

I botched - about 10 years ago Stambaugh was offering a "Thumpstick" 1-string for $100 to all his old customers.

Would have been cool to have...

 

[Duck Of Doom]

Thats nice, could we have some videos of you playing it or just sound samples?

 

[aronnes71]

I could not play fretless so now it is fretted...

I allso own a 2-string, a 3-string and three 4-strings

Will make soundclips in the near future

Cheers

Love the sideways Jazz pickup too, bet that has an interesting sound like that, being so wide and all.

 

[RLK]

I would love to see one with fanned frets!

Dahahahaaa

That thing looks so trippy...pretty awesome!

 

[FunkMetalBass]

I'm considering a 2-string Krappy bass with a 39" scale (tuned F#-B)

I might just build one, though. They can't be all that difficult.

 

[groooooove]

i've seen pictures of a few differnt one string basses.

but i've yet to seen one that was built like a "normal" bass- as in, theyre all sub-wishbass build quality.

anyone ever see a well made one string? i hope not..

And don't forget the 2 string doubleneck!! - -

Both from Ritter

 

[FunkMetalBass]

That double neck is actually pretty snazzy.

Someday I'd like to make a 2 string basitar like The Presidents... 1 string might be even better.
