Can't think of one other than show-off.

Also, how do they deal with the harp effect with sympathetic strings vibrating in the back? And where should the soundpost be placed? Very weird.

Or maybe the bass stays stationary and the players spin.  ;)

Yeah, I wonder if there are two soundposts and how that would affect sound.

Duets.  One lefty and one righty.

Wouldn't this be MORE dreaded than a (one) bass solo??

Makes about as much sense to me as these things.

That is a fascinating bass.

I could see it used by one person with two tunings.

But I could see it as a steller jazz club act featuring a Les Paul/Mary Ford type bass duo.....one on each side....simultaneuosly duo bass duo interplaya in an ensemble!!

I would DEFINITELY pay to go see something like that.

......or Michael Jackson and his monkey doing a duo act. :)
(Especially a Zombie Michael Jackson and his monkey :)

Mark H must play a murky role in this.  :-\ He approaches everything from front and behind.
