Why have a low c# string?

[bmason81]

Not sure exactly what I'm hearing, props for experimenting, but this is only my opinion so it doesn't have much weight, but tuned that low sounds terrible

Not a new concept http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octobass get over it.

Not this thread again, to summarize: Jauqo's not factually correct 100% and knows this and uses this to goad people into violating forum policy. By doing this he gets more people checking him out. Even I've listened to his stuff and the C# is there, but you're not really hearing the 17hz. You are still, however, hearing the low C# and I can see how it can sound cool in different musical contexts. Most people know this but there are always a few that see the factual inaccuracies and try to bring science, evidence, and reasoning into the equation.

I want know how he manipulated the OP in to starting this troll thread in the first place, being that this thread was his idea and all

Worth the conversation as it is evolving . . . 17 Hz will be heard in Anaheim. Ideally 10 Hz will be heard.

I like 10.3 Hz, E00 just sounds like pure evil, I don't care if their is a "musical application".

Now if I could just find a string big enough that note

I am not nor have I ever been into goading people into violating forum policy, they violate it becasue they choose to.

I was just trying to show the op what how the low C# can be used in a band context, that is all.

Jauqo, do you have any close up pictures of the strings? I'd kinda like too see what strings that big look like strung on the bass.

 

[MR PC]

There has been very little, if any evidence to this statement seen here.

Then why doesn't someone put up a list of music that uses this supposedly new art form, so we can check it out?

What's so hard about doing this?

By your own opinion, your own opinion is irrelevant. Unless you've been around since some Christian d-bags a few centuries ago decided to write down and define Western music in a certain way.

So who are you, oh keepers of the 17hz, the new Messiahs, knocking down all symbols of the culture you've been spawned from, draining the blood to push your mighty army forward? Grasping your low strung instruments, pillaging the villages of man, woman, and child. Whatcha goona do when you end up in a foxhole with no electricity to power your enormous F# strings with, and your drummers have all been destroyed

That's when the real music starts.

Jauqo, do you have any close up pictures of the strings? I'd kinda like too see what strings that big look like strung on the bass.

Dude, you can look inside any decent Grand Piano and see multiples of strings that should inspire p**** envy.

Now, that's more like it, some honesty about the situation. No music, just pure evil.

So it appears you lack even the curiosity to explore it yourself, in addition to not even bothering to check the links you have been provided in this thread, so . . . .

There are others, but you really ought to inform your own opinion. Unless you intend to make it a lifestyle to spew with out foundation, which is what you have done almost entirely here.

The evidence kedo was referring to is the lack of respect you have afforded those you have called out in this thread - and he is right. You have taken a non-personal query and assailed character and contribution as response. That you didn't understand him doesn't surprise me.

Now, that's more like it, some honesty about the situation. No music, just pure evil.

Something has to exist before it can be made use of. That some things don't meet your approval is fine. It must keep things simple for you.

Some interesting links, cris' sake, you'd think I was threatening to pull your teeth, or seize you firstborn just to get a few educational examples.

Wow! Theories of existence and the use there of! You must be a friggin' Messiah with that knd of philosophical insight.

Simple? Well it's pretty simple to see some potential string sales in your future, that prolly feels good to you, right? No harm done.

There really is no reason for the antipathy displayed here towards this "new" experimentation on the bass guitar.

You have to acknowledge though that most human beings cannot hear 17 hz. Some may be able to...but I question the use of notes that a majority of the audience can't hear.

Still, it is very cool to develop this kind of instrument, one whose low notes reach beyond the audible range of most human beings. We must remember that it's simply a tool to supply new textural options when making music.

When Anthony Jackson brought the first iteration of his 6 string to some recording sessions, he got major flack behind his back: "Tell him if he wants to bring his science experiment he can book his own sessions."

You need to say like 50 "Hail Fenders" for your open mind to be forgiven
