11strings and 10 strings fretless

[goosetuff79]

how the fuck do you even reach the lowest string with your left hand?

[gredangeo]

I like the guitar because it goes to 11.

[TheMrSkittleism]

I searched up ebony guitar and this is what i got.

[akamarutv]

Man, you would have to buy 11 strings everytime the strings got old.

[poopenschnagger]

11 strings is SO much better than 10!!

[bompiberlot]

Los bajos solo deben tener hasta 6 cuerdas. Si quieres más cuerdas aprende a tocar guitarra...

[mjcoderre]

playing a tree but the funny part is both of these guys stay w/in 5 strings....It should just be the max as a bassist...just sayin

[Johnpjm]

You swear they were over compensating for something smaller. Hehehe, just kidding. It must take huge balls to play a tree.

[YersonNunchia]

Eso es tener la verga muy grande.

[the77elcamino]

Overrrrrrr killlllllll

[baconbag]

Amazing instumentation for this duet

[MrBassbolz]

Why you Say Must be a bitch??!?...

[cunjoz]

@MrBassbolz

es bedeutet, dass etwas wirklich schwar ist..

[Petercaroeelind]

i see nothing cool in basses with a lot of strings. it only shows that one is not creative enough on just 4 strings.

[Iliveinabox666]

@Petercaroeelind

What if they wanted to play notes that they just couldn't reach on a 4 string? That's why these things exist, you know.

[illfortune921]

@Iliveinabox666 well i mean if two, three octaves isnt enough, then whats the point? it wouldnt be bass anymore. these things arent basses.

[Iliveinabox666]

@illfortune921

I see where you can say that. But then again, that's like saying that those giant 8,9,10 and 11+ string guitars aren't guitars anymore either though.

[illfortune921]

@Iliveinabox666 yeah i know, i dont care for those either

[iamnotahitman]

@Petercaroeelind Absolutely. And pianos should only cover 3 octaves too. Idiot.

[7REDDRACO7]

@Petercaroeelind uggh, right, yeah....and the same could be said for a 'four string bassist' its not creative, because he SHOULD BE PLAYING A SINGLE STRING INSTRUMENT WITH A SINGLE FRET DANG IT! lol! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH­AHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA­HHAHAHHAHAH OR that one should play with no instrument at all! hahaha. Improvise to only imagine what could be heard! hahah!

[Sixxela666]

They are like 2 Pornstar with 2 Huge D***s!!!!!

[tyrant6of6genocide]

bad ass. i want that 11 string badly

[worldbones]

these ain't guitars they're bloody harps

eehh

[ChiapasZapata]

the same when you hear such extreme Instrument players: The music itself is damn pity..the melody is elevator, no interesting chordstrukture, voicing... when you close your eyes you would never say: Wow, thats impressive!

But Clarke with a 4 Sting Piccolo or Flea - thats make you wow! but I don´t figure the reason out...

[cheddarbird]

its like holding a piano sideways

[herringstraits]

Jean on the right there,  "WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? BE A TEAM PLAYER DAMNIT!!!"

[Parkinson9999]

I'm not proffesional, but in my opinion, this is a very nice use of the extended range. Not just showing off.

[MykeMetyll]

Why not just run a harp through an amp?

[freddyXDyeah]

Bass with more than 5 string is worse than a g@y porn.. God i feel so dirty watching this video..

[Speichel]

lol



[DJBroPro]

i was pretty sure that they were going to kiss

[JFrostz]

I guess these guys were inspired by the Ugly duckling story too to play these basses....

[JFrostz]

i think this is just over doing it.

[prani89]

beautiful sound, beautiful composition!

ugly looking basses though :P

[metal1man15]

.... nope. i'm still staying with a 4 string.

[xxxJakeHatesxxx]

i know that guy he play mario

[BassTKD826]

That's so cool!

[Urlisch]

man such a boring melody

[MrNewearth]

LOL! those are huge

[boxtrap21]

Id laugh if he broke the strings

[gebass6]

@boxtrap21 It's very hard to break the thick strings on a bass.You really have to TRY to break them.

[racingtime94]

@gebass6

I actually played so hard i broke my 100 gauge string.

[0n4dAw0ps]

@racingtime94 what'd you do? run a truck over it while you sawed through it with a chainsaw?

[TMaStAA]

Think of the badass inlays you could get on a guitar with a neck that fat.

[SnoringMonkeyExhibit]

Beautiful.

[MsCedrik]

actualy the guitar is bigger than the player :|

[Deathz0r94]

@PepsiTasteLikeCoke Still TECHNICALLY a guitar.

[FatTomy]

@Deathz0r94 nah not really...one octave below what the strings would sound like on a guitar.... the chrods will sound more intense and bassy...(if you don´t go higher than the 12th fret xD)...*smartass-alert*.

[rockster07]

@Deathz0r94 bass and guitar are completely different instruments, regardless of how many strings they are. it may be a 'bass guitar', doesn't make it a guitar. they are engineered in entirely different ways, are play in entirely different ways, and sound entirely different.

[Theibanezkid]

@Deathz0r94 TECHNIALLY a bass, guitar and bass may look the same but thats where the similarity changes. guitars are completely different, i should know i do make both bass and guitar for a living

[WrapdInStripez]

fuck. just stick to 4 string :D

[RriverJJ]

and 3  days for change the strings

[mocheese1234]

Ten string, fretless, left handed. Must be a bitch to find lol

[Kradantoste]

@mocheese1234 & to tune too

[rocki4k]

@mocheese1234 That'd be cool to play, as I am a left handed

[AdrianStick]

@mocheese1234 I don't mean to be a nosepicker... But the left handed one is with eleven strings:P

[twistedkatana1]

@mocheese1234 shit gotta be custom

[fspoxee]

Custom Custom:( im playing lefty(and im righthaned) becouse my left hand fingers was serious injured in childhood its a pain to find proper instrument.

[2scrimble9]

@mocheese1234 Or just fucking expensive :D

[svartdahl]

Wonder what kind of string they buy for their girls. I´m only playing a 4 string bass, therefore i like to buy a G- string for my girlfriend....

[JavonteR]

Why were those guys staring at each other like that in the end...Pretty gay...

[gebass6]

@JavonteR What's the matter with you?They were talking!They looked at each other for about a second,and then started talking.

[pchurk]

restringing them must be hell!

[obssedwitmabass]

wooow that was awsome!!!!

[PennybagDarrell]

strings must be a bitch to find/change/tune.

[ihatechoosename]

those instrumenst are stupid... who needs so many strings?

[gebass6]

@ihatechoosename It depends on what you are trying to do. A 10 or 11 string bass is like a tool kit.A few tools can do a few things.A whole bag full of tools can do a whole lot of things.A good bassist can play well with four strings.So what can a good bassist do with more strings?Think about it.An instrument is only as useless as the person playing it.

[obssedwitmabass]

@ihatechoosename people who are willing to go for a challenge..

having more strings means is more interesting to play your instrument, is not the same playing a four string bass than playing a six string bass. It also means that you create more notes or more sounds faster than you would be able to do in a regular bass..

it all comes down if weather your a good bassist or not

[HPrototype1]

Those are neither guitars nor basses...so what are they?

[gebass6]

@HPrototype1 Both and neither.That is so that you can play them without the mental limitations people put on both.And so you can bring out the best of both of them.

[HPrototype1]

@gebass6

Dude, soooo epic, i would love to learn to play one but i don't have the patience to learn that xD (or the money for that matter) but i would love to learn that

[fraterlucifer888]

why not just learn to play four strings better? im just saying,oh well I guess the answer is "these go to 11"

[dimeowns100]

@fraterlucifer888 More strings, more sonic possibility and more effort required, they were probably bored with 4 strings dude

[robertvdpoel]

very nice tune. I thought it was a beautifull melody. Great sound too.

[CerebrateHyatt]

I think I saw the guy on the right play the Mario Bros theme song before.

[JamieT0]

@CerebrateHyatt He's Jean Baudin, he is an amazing player.

[MKN261]

go 4 string bass

[LightingSight]

really scary :S

[Thrash3rSkateRock]

Those guitars are meant to be played by the green giant

[Mooser1512]

i think ill stick to 4 strings

[BassicallyMusic]

Left handed ten string fretless basses, available at wal mart.

[Nitros170]

wtf is the point of that?!?!

[shiekastate]

@wondolf but niggers fuck things up worse

[wtfbuds]

what song are they playing?

[int666h]

@wtfbuds

The right guy is Jean Baudin and the song is from his album, Solace. I forgot the name of the song.

[wondolf]

White people always got fuck shit up....just play 'Flashlight', have sex with women, use massive amounts of narcotics.

[jykonrock]

why would you need that many strings?

[gebass6]

@jykonrock Because he can use them.And if YOU bought this bass then you would likely think that you could use 10 or 11 strings.He's playing what he's playing because he CAN use 10 or 11 strings.

[jykonrock]

@gebass6 okay, jesus man, calm down

[sempergumbyusmc]

these guys are so good I think the one on the left found the key of S

[zakkwyldeverehrer]

:-O

[MST2k]

How much do they weigh? Only their chiropractors know for sure . .

[YetiSomZ]

damn, it's great!

[ultimabass]

I agree with celariomfoam. This just wasn't my cup of tea. The musicians don't appear to be interested at all. They're just playing, and can't wait for the song to be over.

[Ursonmory]

whats the point of those basses?

[celariomfoam]

So boring. They look bored too.

When a musician stares at the ground and looks at the ceiling alot it is because they are ashamed of what they are playing. And they should be. This is shit they play to jerk off musically in public. Horrible.

[jwalk90]

@celariomfoam hhhh.... go watch a video of charlie parker. genius, one of the greatest and most innovative musicians to ever live, and he just stares off into space the whole time. i think theres a point that musicians hit where they don't worry about what they look like in front of people. they just do what feels natural and let the music speak for itself.

[01friedl]

but have u seen they dont play really the bass-strings, they cannot reach with their fingers on left hand the E and last B-string.

[livium90]

i think that basses have 20 killos

[retromotown]

Bravo, this is better than circus MOIRA ORFEI !!!!

[TheJZBMKMDG]

I never heard anything like that before, that takes a lot of talent. Sounded good, i like it!

[spicyaltaco]

how can he play the top string o.o

[coldpleh]

ROFLMAO

[Lewlable]

the first vid ive seen for like "insane number of strings bass" that actually sounded good

[DJMiniBurnie]

damn changing strings on theese must be a bitch

[ZehEduardo]

unnecessary extra strings,

[Dulac91]

not more than on a 12 string guitar ;)

[MrslashVgd]

1000 W  will broke whit this shit....

[CREXKILLS]

Too many strings

[ghitaciprian]

just imagine if they where fewer strings, you couldn.t do that any more right ?! trust me, it.s a different matter, i have a 9 string sub-bass guitar and you could do many things with that !

[skwid12]

a lefty!!!!! yes

[1S0AR]

sick bass!

[mannydeg]

Sweet sounding basses.

[frusciantefan102]

I'm not trying to rip on this in anyway, but why not just buy a regular bass and a regular guitar lol

[Tritone1b5]

Because they're entirely different instruments? I don't understand how you can't see the difference.

[metalinvalidmatt]

@frusciantefan102 ofc you dont know what E.R.G means right? yeah. exactly.

[frusciantefan102]

It doesn't really matter what E.R.G. means....I'm not ripping on the credibility of the players, the music theyre playing or anything at all. I've watched a few videos of these guys playing together, seems to me they don't make very good use of all those extra low strings at all. They thought out of the box, good for them. Of course I know they're different instruments, but that doesn't mean theyre any diff than slapping a gtr and bass together.

[MannieMusic123]

First off, it's E.R.B. and after a point, it's seems pointless to have all those strings.

[ZehEduardo]

@frusciantefan102 show offs.

[nolareaper]

funnnnnk yeahhh!!!!!! those r two big ol monsters! much respect

[phallicmonk]

all that talent and such great instruments and thats the shit they play. sad.

[TheNeuroticBassPlay]

Who gives a shit. Just enjoy it and don't be a faggot.

[johnsmythee]

Neurotic: I don't think he's being a faggot for being correct. If they work hard to perfect their instruments, they should not be mis-represented. Facts are facts, and the facts here are wrong. And it's been corrected since anyway. duh.

[TheNeuroticBassPlay]

I'm just saying. It's good music and people should enjoy it, not worry about the name. I see a lot of people on youtube get worked up over the smallest things.

[johnsmythee]

Agreed.. lotta people get worked up over the smallest things.. but these are two completely different instruments you see there.. takes years of practice to play either, i.e. Jean couldn't play Yves' (forget that Yves is a lefty), and Yves couldn't play Jean's... they start on different notes.. and yes, they both are great.

[johnsmythee]

put it this way: if you're a bass player, it is a big deal.

[TheNeuroticBassPlay]

@johnsmythee Yeah I know. I'm a bass player xD, and (although my profile may not appear that way), I'm a fan of extended-range bass, fretless bass, anything groovy, and anything out of the normal.

[slipknotshredder666]

it is 10 and 11 bro i can see it lol

[DrWillumz]

And a douchebag.

[jarhead4214]

Or you can just count the strings.

[josen02]

and a douchebag

[IllustratorofBass]

C#,F#,B,E,A,D,G,C,F,Bb,Eb,Ab

[derailedtheband]

holy shit.

[noneofyourbizzness]

incorrect: begins on low B. Then again, that (video) is not a 12 string.

[morganchavis]

what is a 12 string bass tuned to because it looks really fun?

[noneofyourbizzness]

12 string starts on low b at 15.4 hertz, but that is not his 12 string, it is his 10.

[frusciantefan102]

15.4hz? whats the point, alot of people cant even hear that low. Average hz of audible range is like 20hz-20khz

[tonywozere]

@frusciantefan102 WRONG

[tigeraven2112]

WRONG, thats 12 strings and 10 string fretkess and fretted

[lectwar]

WRONG, the guy on the right has 11 strings...the one on the left has a 10 string fretless

[yourjazztube]

You are wrong. Learn to count tiger.

[jackious16]

thats ear sex right there

[bobach720]

yeah it is

[littletanbear]

OH MY GOSH..

[revel987]

What are these basses tuned to?

[AngelicxDementia]

Wow...that's amazing

D= Those basses look so difficult to play.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

12 strings are SOOO fun to play once to get the hang of it

[castleshade13]

hard enought to find left handed basses as it is! lol

i'm a righty btw

5*

[62erPrecision]

jean baudin looks like a geek ^^

[BassDude50000]

hey im left handed too!

[StopTheMoti0n]

my god it sounds like 4 insturments at once

[Reevesy791]

they should make an album

[bobach720]

those are bass guitars u dumbass and for one they are about 11 strings so im pretty sure they are crazy shit

[guitarsxrxausome]

your a dumbass for calling a base guitar a fish

[bobach720]

no ur the dumbass for thinking of a base as in military base, im talking about bass guitar not largemouth bass u fucking idiot

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Lol i know it was 3 months ago but was guitarxrxausome being serious when he said that "base" "bass" comment

cause that was the most fail i have ever seen

[bobach720]

Lmfao i forgot all about that haha truly tho he was serious and that was seriously the biggest fail ive seen yet

[Sublim3]

aha!! guitarsxrxausome, u truly are the biggest dud ever!

[bramdus]

the 12 string actually has 11 strings...-_-

[jakeLVRC]

they must wiegh a ton

[BenandAdriansWorld]

I love the sounds from these instruments.

It must be so hard to do the two handed tapping!

[dinoantimental]

THE LEFT POWER!!

[Thsiscool]

nice!

[TheEccentricHippie]

Bass means low. Not thinner than a FUCKING GUITAR STRING. THAT ISN't A BASS.

[fistacorpse616]

oh shut up noob

[c8ge]

thanx man

[TheEccentricHippie]

Noob? There's no noobs in music, prick. Go blow a goat, you worthless tool.

[fistacorpse616]

dunno what your smoking, but yes, there ARE noobs. John Frusciante. Prime example.

[samkeen]

These instruments are intended to make music, regardless of their range. They don't need to be limited to being deeper in pitch than a guitar, perhaps they need some new name to avoid this sort of small mindedness. What do you suggest?
