In regards to the cello, he uses a foot pedal that switches on a pickup that gives better response for the low end to an amp beneath his chair - "boosts" the low end when he is pizzicatoing. From the web:
He uses an L.R. Baggs bridge pickup with a Baggs Para DI 5-band equalizer through a Gallien-Krueger bass amp. His music alternates frequently between bowing and playing the cello like a jazz bass. I use the pickup for pizzicato, he says, and turn it off and stick with a mic for bowing.
most of their music just has the chord progressions on it lol and mark solo is writen down but i think he improvises on it usually. But ive seen the sheet music for this and most of it is just slash marks in the bar and chord progressions over the bars. It looks crazy xD the music is just a guide.
absolutely sure, I've studied with them and filmed this concert so it's not possible to be a 5 string. what's probably confusing is that his low notes sound so rich and amazing, 3 things at work there I suspect, 1 he's an amazing player, 2 he's got and amazing cello, and three it's amplified, meaning certain frequencies are enhanced, particulary the bottom frequencies
indeed, but look past the bridge and you can count only 4 string. the illusion is the edge of the fingerboard, nice one though, I almost thought it was 5 there for a sec

however, if you look closely and count the strings, it seems like there are 5 strings, or it just may be an illusion of some sort.
