Balloon Bass + Green Big Muff Improv

[Musicgutbucket]

80-O Wow!

[ddrummmerkick]

o.o is this even real? best intrument ever!

[dimezakkrandykirk]

bass amp - couple thousand dollars

big muff bass distortion - couple hundred dollars

ballon bass - $2.35

being badass at playing a cheap, home made instrument that probably took a few years to master - priceless

[liddlepeter]

what are you using to plug it onto your amps? we can't figure out anything other than gaffer taping on a mini mic...

[StijnBF2]

[mokeanL]

how in the hell did you get a electric cable to a baloon, lol. AWSOME!!

[Jerry1113Y]

Fantastic !!!!

[HandofDoom01]

They have another thing that sounds wayyyyy better than this, it's easy to find and isn't a total waste of time...it's called a BASS!

[mokeanL]

@HandofDoom01 im sure he didnt buy 20 different pedals and amps just for a balloon.

[robdelabassist]

hey how do u get electronics on it?

[zer0dahero]

Thats what it sounds like when you have a busted speaker in an amp. Impressed with the balloon but not at all with the crappy sound.

[ShynAwkward]

I want a custom balloon bass with black strings & a purple rubber.

[porcshops]

very cool it's a shame it sounds like shit

[ccfliege]

This is doom metal =PPP

[token93]

[Damn6Deal6Done6]

No he didn't, he may have tried a prototype, but I doubt even that.

[paulisgay2]

[screambleed323]

B-a-n-a-n-a-s!

[russtophiles]

For those wondering how he's hooking up to the amp, it looks like he's using a piezo buzzer wired to an instrument cable. You can get them from any place that sells electronics including Radio Shack. Very clever idea!

[javiceres]

@balloonbass hey man is that big muff purposely for bass or is it acutally for guitar but sound great on bass?

Great work with the balloon man!

Great discovery,

For fresh stars popping the balloon after show is more plausible than breaking the guitar.
