Olson Guitarworks 17 String

[buldog5151bass]

That is a prime example of the wrong number of strings.

Well, 17 IS a prime number...

...and I wonder if it really does have 4 trussrods

I can do more with four strings,,,what's the use for this thing.GAG GAG GAG.

It's what happens when someone who takes up bass to overcompensate for physical shortcomings STILL needs to overcompensate more.

This is a worst case scenario. Tragic really.

It's a prop for a youtube video. Calm down.

Ok, nobody else has said it, so, NECKDIVE!

 

[Schlyder]

meh... doesn't have fanned frets.

Can that really be called a neck though? It's more like a deck. I could have an outdoor BBQ party on that thing. Lawnchairs and all!

It's like someone said "I want the key-tar version of a harpeggi because a harpeggi is too easy to play sitting down and flat."

 

[TolerancEJ]

Is that technically a harp now?

Good call, but I've seen much smaller harps.

I worry about that falling over and crushing someone standing nearby.

What. No tort!

Go-go gadget finger extensions sold separately .

Um, this is the bass forum, try posting that in Miscellaneous.

 

[AztecViking]

That just looks so problematic.

I'd like to see a tiny little skinny guy totally kick ass on it though.

Now that's what the grandfather from the other thread needs to get his 9 year old grandson .

Is this someone's idea of a joke? Anything with seventeen strings and four truss rods is not for the faint of heart. It would cost you a paycheck to restring it. I would hate to see the amp he uses.
