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.

A litteral double bass.

Two-player?

This is what I was thinking.

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??

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. :)
