[Zemery1]

[cArLiScRaZy1]

5 string is E, A, D, G, and C

i play the viola, so yea. i hope this helped at all

[StephaneGrappelli]

does anyone know what FXs are they using / are suitable?

or general good multi FX for violin

would Vox Tonelab LE work?

[UniBrowMonKey]

from what I know,  i most guitar setups will work :)

[RedBev59]

This is such a GREAT video! Bravo! I wonder if his fingers ever get tired?! He goes so fast! I could watch him play all day.Love the sounds of ALL his violins.

[otterpupp]

is the long hair required for rocking out like that?

[wfranklin]

yes. read the manual. it says it plain as day.

[muddyfox91]

yeah prick

[otterpupp]

wow, that purple haze solo rocks! It's hard to tell how much is him, and how much is the backing band. (does he play any of the distorted power chords?)

[bonerici]

the only backing is the bass & drums he does all the power chords.

[xhelloyouFREAK]

the sabré violin

doesnt sound so great...

[RedBev59]

I dunno Katescandyshack......it looks pretty darn comfortable to me! Mark sure looks comfy playing it. This is a GREAT demo of all his violins. GREAT JOB Mark...and in one song..I think we heard Laura's great hauntingly beautiful voice! NICE. Bravo!

[baka6660]

hahaha

that things pretty much an electric guitar that goes on your shoulder

[katescandyshack]

I have a viper and the only thing is that my back hurts after like ten minutes playing on it, does this happen for anyone else?

[naughty00e]

Do any bowed instruments have adjustable saddles/bridge for intonation/action like electric guitars? Do you know where to find guitars modified or made for playing with bows? I have seen one somewhere, it was a 6 string with a radically curved fretboard and cutaway body, played on the lap or on a post like cellos.

[naughty00e]

I think its ugly, but you can't beat the sound with any other electric or amped conventional violin. I think its going to shake up metal music and give birth to some new solo superheroes.

[roenie74]

I must say that... although it aren't exactly elec. violins...

The cello's of Apocalyptica have a much better overall tone!

I'm not saying they're better (although you must not under-rate them!)

[ErikaSpegel]

He is so cool..love him!!

[vi0linfr3ak]

so awesome...

[mohrsNeo]

isnt using frets kind of cheating?

[majik89d]

Not at all. You still need violin skill to play with or without them. And these instruments involve playing right on the fret.....i know...i have one. :-). So it is a little bit different. Mark went to Julliard anyways.....so he kicks serious tail classically too....check out his bow arm...amazing. :-)

[vitruviancat]

yeh frets ARE kinda cheating - plus, like guitar and any other fretted instrument, you'll never be able to play it EXACTLY in tune.

but I think its good in that its more easily acessible than a standard violin.

[naughty00e]

That is a design fault then. I have a $700 ibanez guitar with fixed bridge that intonates very very well. It took a few string guage trials, and some tinkering with neck tension and saddle adjustments, but it was worth it.

[ScubaSteve1717]

not if you've mastered the instrument already

[Teclis]

OMG!!! This Guy it's one of my new God's! The Best Violins had ever saw.

[zorinlove]

cool!!!
