Longbow 2-String Bass Guitar

Posted by Alex in Music, Pictures on August 29, 2008 at 12:27 pm


I’ve always wanted to learn to play the guitar, but all those strings are confusing! So perhaps this is the easier instrument: the Longbow "American Classic" 2 string bass!

(There is, of course, a one-string bass guitar from Japanese guitar maker Atlansia, the Dàn bâu from Vietnam and the Duxianqin from China)

    Les Claypool came up with a 1-strig bass called the Whamola. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBkB1u-axIs

    Um, the bassitar played by Chris Ballew of the Presidents of the United States of America? Or Mark Sandman of Morphine? Or some European band whose name I don’t remember, but remember the skinny-necked two-string bass in their crappy video? An idea that has been done before. Unless you’re using a slide like Sandman, there’s no real reason to limit yourself like this.
