Don't know who he is but look at the size of that guitar. At the body the neck looks more than 4" wide.

Re: Thundercat

Never heard of a six string bass.


The pic is from him on Fallon. Maybe I should go back and watch that episode.

The 6 string bass has been round for a whole. Fender have made one since 1961 and when Jet Harris left the Shadows to go with Tony Meehan he played one for his bass instrumentals. Diamonds being the best known.

Re: Thundercat

A bass should have 4 strings. 6 is acceptable. 8 is just wrong...

Re: Thundercat

Victor Wooten plays a Fender four string bass. Nuff said.
I've seen tubas with up to seven valves. Mine has three.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?
