Tennessee 15 String Bass Guitar on Ebay

Nice litte bit of ad copy:

"The nut does compress the larger strings somewhat but, the tone isn't sacrificed by that. It's mostly barely audible rumblings at the low end."

The right side of that picture, for some reason, reminds me of Martin Luther's Diet of Worms.

Where did they find those low strings? What gauge are they? What tuning is this? Is this even real???

They're not strings; it's rebar ...

Ahh, plays with that country singer and construction worker, Rebar MacIntyre, right?

 

[Why Nautilus‽]

Not to revive an old thread, but its re-listed again.

Those low strings were probably the most expensive part of the build

That was actually my first thought when I saw this, followed by "and what would you do if you broke one during a gig." It is....remarkable, in so many bad ways.

Please don't think all of us in Tennessee think this is a good idea btw. All my basses have eleven fewer strings than this one, for instance.....

I don't anything can break one of those low strings. I would love to hear this thing played if that's even possible.

dumb

 

[1stnamebassist]

Ridiculous. Unless of course your producing music for animals with extended hearing beyond our own. But then how would we know if it sounds good? Ridiculous.

 

[Dan B]

The sheer size of those bottom strings alone give me a perverse sense of liking. Yeah, it's crap, yeah it's a joke, but the sheer ridiculousness of it puts it in the "so bad it's good" territory.

Mind you I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it, but still.

this bass fills me with emotions than can be only be expressed via self harm.

Ick.

Have you tried interpretive dance?

 

[Munjibunga]

The lowest five strings aren't even under tension.

 

[Short-scale]

The cost of strings probably costs as much as my 2 Jaguar short scales put together.

 

[Gorn]

The lowest five strings aren't even under tension.

Not with that attitude. You gotta believe man.

 

[Muddslide]

This instrument looks to be about as useful as a football bat.

 

[Short-scale]

I guess it could double as a ramp for the load-in/load-out.

Un-playable

Yiiiikkkes...except, I'm heading to Home Depot for some of those "Yes TB, Absolutely Never Fail" strap locks. mysteryclock, we need to change the name of our home state to dis-associate with that thing. I don't care if the new state name has the letters t..u..r..d incorporated in it. It would be less embarrassing.
Is this the kind of talk that will get me sent to TB Purgatory for insulting someone else's instrument?
