That was built by Roderick Octigan, very cool dude and his range is absolutely stunning to say the least!Quote:

Yours for $15,000...
Had to find some videos of it in action. Sounds very unlike a typical bass with the octaves. Seems like it's strung up with E2-E2-E1, A2-A2-A1, etc. - in which case I'm not really sure I understand the need for the third course. Keeps your bass tech busy, I guess.Quote:
