That part made me spit out my coffee. "Blarge Corponations."
Also: beyond the fact that this man is obviously mentally ill and in need of help, that is a terrible relic job. One of the worst relics of all time.
I skipped to the end of the video that BassCliff posted and caught him saying something like "...what would Jaco have done with a bass like this?"
Sadly (for him) I think the answer would have involved a couple of saws and some flammable liquid.

He needs to get together with Spectre Sound Studio guy...in a Texas death cage match. I'll buy the popcorn.
I'm very late to this party, but I stumbled on the thread and had to add two cents.
He's pretty delusional if he thinks he innovated anything there. Minor factoid - that bass sounds like snot. Just sayin.

Typical delusional nut case that thinks the whole world is stupid and he is the ONLY person with any enlightenment.
What a buzzy, clanky piece of junk, besides having no idea what a bass is supposed to do. Yeah, go ahead and play guitar chords on it. He can do it because his instrument has no bass response. You can't do it on instruments with a decent bass response because the sound will turn to mud. It's physics, man. It's a basic guideline of music arranging that you can't use closed chord forms in lower registers. It doesn't matter if we are talking bass, piano, low brass, whatever. Mud.
Inventor of the guitar-scaled bass, eh? I have a '60-70's Teisco/Kent 25-1/4 scale bass, built 40-some years before this dofus and his revolutionary invention. It's not the greatest of quality, but after putting a little setup work into it, including moving the bridge back 1/2 inch, it plays well, handles well, and intonates well for having basically a solid bar for a bridge. It sounds a lot better than his piece of ...

One of the shops in town here had a vintage National Res-O-Glas Bass with 25" scale. I love short scale, but I couldn't get used to this thing. Loved the sound of it though. Looked like this one: Rare 1961 Valpro National 85 4-string Bass Res-O-Glas w/OHSC White
