[Basvarken]

Finally an acoustuc that is loud enough by itself.

A bit of a b•tch to haul around though...

Interesting man. He's obviously put a lot of thought into his instruments.

I'd love the hear the bass guitar with and without the horn.

Whoops, I found it!  Really sounds good, but the volume part is hard to assess via internet video.

The bass for bisons... super-sub-lows...

[Basvarken]

@ drbassman Nah that's amplified. I'd love to hear it acoustically (unamplified) in comparison to a regular acoustic bass.
They claim it's as loud as a double bass!

not much of low note demo, diddling on the higher notes and such. he sounds like he works for a bass rag...

Yeah, I'd like to hear proof of that.

For sure, pretty lame.  I wonder what these things cost?  I hate to even venture a guess.

[Basvarken]

It's kinda hard to get that information across on media such as YouTube.

The diagram below shows it has very similar charecteristics to a double bass. (although I have no idea how to exactly interpret these results...)




From what I've found on the Internet is the price should be around 3000 euro.
Haven't heard it from the horse's mouth though...

[drbassman]

I like the concept and look of the bass.  3000 Euros is a bit steep, but I do understand they are probably entirely hand made.
