For a couple of years I've been thinking about making a bass with just three (3) strings. The background to that idea is the fact that I use the G string quite little, it's just for the occasional funk, which - to be honest - bores the f-ck out of me. In my mind it reduces the bass to litle more than a rhythm instrument. I want the bass to be part of a moving floor, yep, but still bringing flowers and - at times - interesting lines.
Besides, a 3-string would look kinda kool!
So I'm into these thoughts about a 3-string. Maybe with B at the bottom, followed by E and A? Or should I go for a E .110 bottom?
Is there anyone out there who's tried this concept? Are there any serial manufacturers of a 3-stringer?
And, would a T-bird pup do?
