I was on youtube a minute ago and came across this "Bass" ::) have a look and tell mi what you think. Think it will work, would you play one, would you evetually buy one if available and how does it look to you?

I think it's pretty cool due to the fact that this guy has never built a bass from scratch, but he has improved his own just as most of us here in LGM will do or have done. I will one day try to build my very own bass. I thinks that's one of the cool aspects about playing the bass-You can make your own beast and nobody elses will look or sound like yours. I would try to play a thirteen string, but first let me get my five string down packed. I hope all goes well with his 13 string-all that will do for me is keep me encouraged if it works and sounds good.

God Bless!

I know Bill "Budda" Dickens has a fleet of basses with 7,8,9 plus strings. I am not sure if he has 13 strings or not but if anyone else does he does!!

okay, how many times did he say," um".
In ATL we have this game on the radio station called don't say,"um", and you have to talk for 1 minute without sayin it.
Man he would have lost the first 2 sec. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
That is alot of strings though, but homeboy here probably not far from catching up with him.

After doing a little research, I'm starting to think this bass is pure novelty.  Of all the clips he has, he has yet to play it or have it played to show how it sounds.  Plus he said that he doesn't have an amp.  Also, the pickups are not wired up.  Also, I can see that wooden "bridge" getting worn down after being under tension with those thin strings for so long.  Sure it looks great, but until I hear it, it's redundant how many strings it has.  But it is an interesting find on your part.
When you've done your very best, do even better.
