Never seen one of these before...

I would have seriously considered buying that but the price tag just shut me down

 

For once in my life, I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say about that thing......

 

It looks rather like the bass equivalent of the Gittler Guitar.

i rly want the soundclip of that bass

 

Is it.. an acoustic.. metal..... bass.. thing?... fretless... lol. ***

 

Pretty sure it's a Gittler.

 

Very Gitler-inspired, but I'd say it's not a true Gitler bass. Interesting, nonetheless.

 

'Cuz god knows we all need a bass that is "playable under water"!

 

I have a friend who is a Marine Biologist who has a similar
instrument that they use to communicate with Whales
under water.

Do a search on Hydrophone.
They make underwater piezo pickups.

 

I'd play it in my tub with my toy plastic boats and rubber ducky.

I wonder--if you get GAS underwater, does it make bubbles?

 

1500 clams? Ummm no!

 

MOMA purchased it.

 

"This instrument was purchased by the Museum of Modern Art and will be available for viewing in early 2009"

bah...what a waste.

 

Total waste.

It may be modern design but modern art? Eh...

 

You gotta love an insturment that needs "Mothers Car Polish" to bring out the tone.

 

I LOL'd at this... while at work...

 

*shrug* Maybe this is the future of music? Maybe you guys aren't thinking outside of the box?
