[dilluminous]

[waitingforbrain]

Why the fuck am I watching this? o_O

[FireRagnarok]

I kind of like the tone where he says it's "too loose". :D

[roidrage11]

my favorite part i when he says the balloon is twisted in the pink

[naenobe]

Wow! That is SO cool!! Love it!

[lalotgunnie]

That's really cool, it sounds like a real bass!!;) it's nice that you can play a (very cool) song with only a couple balloons!!!XD

[Kingjordan1801]

Nice

[gforce0292]

That sounds good

[camhockey123]

That's filthy

[raiinbear]

I wonder how many balloons he's popped

[cookiesgood348]

That's cool

[bloodskys]

as a bass player myself thats not a bad sounding bass

[kendallskatevids]

@bloodskys Thats what i was thinking too lol

[manosvince]

[tbcass]

All that effort. The guy must have a lot of time on his hands. :-)

[feckingtwot]

This is awesome. C'est tout.

[raokin466]

@feckingtwot cest parfait

[YourEpic]

I get a better bass sound with a ruler and an edge of a table, in a second.

[LFMtvChannel7]

WTF did you say at 1:53?

[undeny]

@LFMtvChannel7 The demon that gave this man all of his powers forgot his lines in that part.

[EEnQui]

good job boys 

[mcnabb43v3r]

It sounded like u were playing "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen...

[hojima]

@mcnabb43v3r because he was

[fuscotj]

So Unnecessary

[minismity11]

thats soo cool dude XD

[036265]

how the fuck do people come up with this shit?

[marky1011]

insert some kind of button or coin in a 260 balloon and let air out like you would with bubble trick then you got your picks ups

[HandofDoom01]

Sorry to burst your bubble, i was the guy at your last concert with the blowdart. :(

[shaffy2783]

amazing. thank you.

[speedydrew]

i like pudding

[edgeofsins]

Lol. Crazy

[XcatisX]

I'm gonna make myself one of these for street perfroming. Acoustic basses aren't cheap you know!

[dagoogler01]

bill nye his mom's a guy

[wes4sk8er]

Dang your good at that!! ...another one bites the dust

[xxcardosoxx]

OMG :o

[youlosez]

he should make a random band for fun out of weird and wacky homemade instruments. Then they would proceed to walk around town playing funky tunes. Alll rightt!

[loumast123456789]

@mozilla2012 its not bill nye the science guy its bill nyte the terriosts guy ;)

[fasterfind]

That was the best twisting I've ever seen.

[francesco149]

How the heck do you blow those baloons w/o a pump, theyre soooo hard.

[XxLyNtxX]

I'd be too scared to tie those balloons once they make a squeaky sound XD That is skilled right there. Pure skill.

[WorldScott]

I LOL'd at "Another Bites the Dust". :-)

Very cool!

-Scott

[fuckkkaerosmith]

.....how the fuck does he know this much about balloons? what the fuck.....?

[JHUlaxman]

thats tight

[phkavia]

kkkkkkkkkkk

now u can try a 4strings bass!

[jakejackjoe]

someone has way to much time on their hands...

[butkatrello]

love it> sweet spot. well done

[redvsbluefanman]

I think it'd be easier to get a job, save money, and then buy an actual bass.

It would be really awesome to be able to just make these though.

[plsmustangs11]

Could you post a video that elobrates more on making the purple pedal thing

[KillYourTeeVee]

will you make me a fulltone tube tape echo effect pedal...

[wysle]

OMFG as soon as i get some baloons im doing this. how bored must you be to invent this

[RtdXyron]

probably was invented by accident...

[wysle]

@RtdXyron how do you accedentaly invent a balooon bass XD

[RtdXyron]

@wysle how do you intentionally invent a baloon bass? 

[wysle]

@RtdXyron im not so sure?

[Yarden2y]

OR - buy  a bass

[wysle]

@Yarden2y that would be stupid

[janus69tube]

yet so simple!..

[CaptainBestephar]

What happened? I think it'd be easier to build a regular bass. =P

[eternity2short]

amazing!

[emosucks89]

I'm not sure what's crazier... That someone thought this would work, or that someone actually came up with a way to make this work!

[robothd2]

I totally agree hehe

[Obenwun]

both id say

[ztrawhcs]

This guy is a genius.

[Mozilla2012]

The camera holder's voice reminds me of Bill Nye the Science Guy

[SeLiNa7253]

haha cool

[reesiespeices1]

i made it! it is so awesome!!

[TheRipstikmaster]

how u made it was just a little confusing but overall its really coool!!! the song that u played at the end of the vid was really cool to!

[munherpes]

@TheRipstikmaster

it's queen's another one bites the dust at the end for those who wonder

[V1T0RIV]

[Dragsa87]

[pollock8000]

Man...sorry, you're are genius but no teacher at all....I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO WITH THOSE BALLOONS....I WANT MY BALLOON BASS! How can I make it?

[Ajmasterb12]

WTF!!!! i have no clue of wat just happen!!

[diegobass21]

insane! but is a great idea!!

[Infernlmagician]

He went about it way too quickly and didn't really show -how- you do the actual things you need to do to make it... Really cool but I wish he explained how to do the steps a little more. =p

[iaberis]

genius!

[Xjak]

Nice but Itakes forever and too complicated LOL I havent the patience

[gtu734]

dang cool...i need to make an instrument for school, but thiis looks too complicates

[donny12349]

awesome:)

[Chimichanga12594]

I think i ran into this guy in front of a store in niagra falls. He gave me one of these but im sad cuz it popped :-(

[Chastrie]

heheh awesome

[Adhemar05]

the video started good and became epic when he played queen <3

[LargeLad100]

THAT IS SO SETO.......

[polarberg]

This is revolutionary. I want to hook this contraption up to a pedal system. I'll be the latex Paul Gilbert.

[wicketyspickety]

dude the sound of when hes making the balloons is horrific

[adrienyo]

that was too fucking cool!!!!

[FDude11111]

Or you could pluck a rubber band ;P

[piercehannigan2]

this was gay as shit. it took him forever to make it which pissed me off and then it wasnt even that great.

[TheDirtyMongGoose]

holy hell im gonna go get some ballons and try to make this!

[iheartmikegrier]

I feel like that is the most amazing thing I've ever seen... Ridiculous to whoever thought that up

[furrytummy]

Genious...

[meplayvgalot]

flea would be proud

[meplayvgalot]

because?

[BananaRDP]

i wasn't talking to you

[BassPlayingRichy]

that was so sick!!

[sizzlinjeff12]

That is pretty cool!

[promagnum]

Don't take this wrong but it looked like a ballsack for a while.

[TheFadedGuitar]

What if it popped right after you made it, haha

Time for ballon picks!

[domingoscott123]

btw he starts playing it at 4:32 =]

[EdgarDirby]

It does take ahwile, but I think it paid off nicely.

[kingboi123456789]

crazy

[5ch3nk]

1000000 dollars to the first man who figures out how to make balloon picks ups!

[Milanfan800]

I win i win.........I already have......U get a pickup and put thin balloons around it......I win i win :D

[tbcass]

@5ch3nk Actually any piezo pickup taped to the balloon would work. It's already been done. Search "Balloon Bass/Juicy Brunette"

[BIgMANNey]

this is so cool im defenetly trying this later

[mistrmann]

that thing, at 2:40, looks like a stomach

[MaraImmortal]

*brain splode*

[Bassoid]

Excellent ! It looks very complicated actually ...

[moeistheirleader]

amazing

[JamesRossMusic]

Gotcha ...

[sniggity]

Slow down a bit when you're showing us, I saw it, but didn't comprehend it.

[jonjb2a]

Thanks. "Another one bites" the dust is catchy. Weird Al Yankovic (to drop a name) had his version: "Another one rides the bus." An acquaintance's take on the song was "Another one kicks our butts." My version: "Another one gnaws the crust." Btw: Great to see someone make an good, working instrument from easy to find materials such as balloons.

[Jpirate17]

can you say badass!!

[chickenfriedZBB]

thats badass

[ishojtester]

Ok this semed interesting in the start, but not anymore. Funny invention, but nothing that will turn out big-

[eniothesexmachine]

u r wrong!!, this is totally OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!

sometimes the smallest ideas can be so original

[ItsPrincessAnn]

lol i was more interested of how good u made thoes ballons and put it inside...

[DaBozzG23]

fucking wack! haha

[jonjb2a]

Very clever! Ooh, ah, ooh, another one bites the dust--I recognize that riff. Good job.

[bodiesforscience]

wow, your so cool, no one else knows that riff

[chaazums]

lol

[ven2urini]

thats rly cool but complicated!

[pyrobunny9]

that is insane! I wish i knew how to make one!

[kiba4650]

WHOA! I wan tto know who discovered this!!

[BulletteKitty]

"Another one bites the dust!" lol, that's really interesting, I'd like to try it sometime- soon. :)

[FruitpunchFTW]

Pretty fuckin' cool!

[bar56bod]

nobody is goin to be able to do that but id love one

[andrewderasfriend]

I did it!!!!!!!!!! men it was complicated. I wasted 59 balloons. but its posible

[Melee696]

fucking awesome

[Chefodeath]

neat

[Maht25]

this is fucking incredible.

[CindyBradyTooh]

AMAZIN! :O

~Cindy!  :)

..

[metzlermarc]

wtf this is cool

[Pencil38]

DAMN!

Sweet...

[SG3089]

wow who came up with this lol

[MangaBoi]

is it possible to put on 4 strings on this thing?

[Vince232]

is there a way you can amplify the sound?

[kangkongnilaga]

adding those pickups that act like microphones.

i think in another video it stated that its a mandolin pickup

[rhythmtandemplayer]

Great!

More great innovation at RHYTHMTANDEM.

[Xmugon]

dude thats cool

[pforvendetta]

it would be easier to just grab a bass guitar........

[Cristian1337]

It would.

If you had maybe $200.

This is less than...$3. Less than $1 if you find a place that sells single balloons...

[kangkongnilaga]

+$20 to add a pickup and amplify

[mellowmark1]

Just make an amp out of your spare balloons.

[RadioMasterDude]

It would be cool if you could do harmonics on that thing...

[shortinos]

I wonder how the hell someone invented this..

[numbchucking]

haha fucking incredible

[dsballer37]

That's crazy, I had no idea something like this existed!

[Destinychazer]

the sound makes me shiver

[ruben12321]

nice! Dr. Rockso would be proud. :)

[OrdinaryBedfellows]

This is SUCH a pain in the butt to make if you're not good with twisting balloons, but I got it after a few tries.

It's SO MUCH FUN to play.

[PiratesAreForever]

Right on!

Thats so awesome!

[drumking001]

Wow! i had no idea what was happening in the beggining! that was one of the coolest things i have seen!

[rauwasp360]

A skill to be a clown you freak.

[mwmgmp]

[qnom10]

That was very nice !

[BigboyDownStairs]

[JesustheLizard]

I want one, but i don't have the patience to teach myself. What are the chances the clown at the county fair can make one of these?
