Members DaveAronow Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 That is AWESOME!!! Ive always said it is the music that is important. I am a bass player mostly. One of my favorite quotes is "I'll play a 2X4 with rubber bands for strings if I can make some sort of music with it." These guys are great especially the "bass" player. They need some sort of unique melody instrument to round out their sound and they are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Surrealistic Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hmmm - do remember that he's clearly got the high-end custom shop balloons. You won't get those tones buying a cheapie and upgrading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Will Chen Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Man, that was too cool. Just goes to show how far a musical idea can be taken with total disregard for tradition (though a cajon is actually a tradition instrument).

Members d_dave_c Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 That's kinda like the bass player in an island string band. Check out the box with a stick and one string: [YOUTUBE]4XPeu6elRDw[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members paulojcduarte Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Is that a Fujigen? I'm really curious about them as they are probably the best guitar factory on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Surfdude Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 I am a bass player mostly. One of my favorite quotes is "I'll play a 2X4 with rubber bands for strings if I can make some sort of music with it." QUOTE] That reminds me of a bass I was looking at last Christmes. It's a little Fender electric fretless with silicone strings. The sound clips were awesome but I want to play one in person. Have you seen those?
