... will you refer to this SG as your "Panzer" bass, or your "Tiger" bass?

But....but....that would make it a "Jack" bass, and that name is taken....

Uwe, out of all of those basses, are any of them sixers?

A sixer opens up a lot of possibilities with chords, harmonics, counter melodies w/ pedal bass tones...it's worth the effort.

Uwe Berlin...?

Now Jeff Berlin does most (all?) of his work on standard instruments

There are some multitonalqualityplayers out there...



... but in this example is he, Jean Baudin, playing a bass...?



Undoubtedly, this is the work of a virtuoso; a work I truly believe to be an outstanding piece of art, but to me, it is more akin to a keyed instrument, in its percussive fashion... If you watch him playing he is still centred, bassically, and soloing on the upper register, in a classical fashion; on occasion the lower, register is plumbed, but not that often, and not that noticeably... it is an "ensemble" piece played in a "one-man-band" fashion...

I'll ask again... is he playing a bass...?

Visuals of the style... live playing here of Transcend on this at 9:13 but also examples of his style from start, 6:04, 7:38

He is transcending bass playing & just playing music using a hybrid instrument. It's no longer bass playing .

No denying the talent there, it's a nice piece.




It's not bass playing as I would define it - or as I do it.  :)

If it's got more than 4 strings, it starts to look like a harp! :P

How 'bout some Wreckmaninoff?  This is pretty much AC/DC for the 1930's.....



Or maybe this was AC/DC for the 30's:
