wow sound designers for video games and movies would go wild for this, sounds crazy

[chapstickbomber]

I would literally listen to an hour of someone just improvising on this thing

[bearshield]

Okay.... this is mind bindingly wonderful

[stephenhodgeman]

I've always wanted to play the octobass in Arizona at the MIM. This is probably more attainable though lol. I'm pretty sure the strings were made of gut rather than steel (or in your case, copper), but this is a pretty fair substitute.

[alchemyrecords]

I love how it's so low that you can hear the frequency

[Rhmbus]

Octobass was traditionally tuned C1-G1-C2 from low to high. The C0 tuning was a very modern invention and now even OSM uses an A0 tuning to match the bottom of the piano.

This actually sounds badass:) I’d use it in a film score, video game OST or industrial metal project.

[METALPLUSGAMING]

sounds like horror movie sound effects

With my 34" scale bass and a Kalium 0.266 gauge string, I hit a 15Hz(ish) B. I actually get notes. I bought a set of 0.280 strings from Octave4Plus that hits 15Hz on a 34" scale bass bass.

I had a new neck made for my 7 string bass that gives it a 37.5" scale and a custom set of .266 strings that let me hit 15Hz. It makes much better noises;-)

How about adding a small bridge to raise the string a little?

[manuelromani]

You've just build a "proto -short scale octobass". A professional "electric short scale octobass" would be really... awesome.
Does anyone know if there is exactly that, or anything close to it, on the market for sale?

[jeremypoythress]

May I suggest Try using drop tuners and/ or more strings. Sounds good just needs a body with an arched bridge imo.

[nicolaturner]

Can I borrow your Octobass for an art installation in the UK? How can I get in touch with you? Thanks

[RockStarOscarStern]

An Upright Bass Bow would've been more appropriate

[muddbear]

Hey man I got an idea I'd love you to try.
So one of the main points to bass of any kind is to move air. Upright's do this very well, acoustic basses are pretty poor. Been musing on how to change this and was wondering.
How would guitar and particularly bass sound with a resonating chamber on the headstock? Like a sitar and other eastern instruments.

[mechwarrior]

Your bowhold is funky but that's fine, main problem is that is seems you're really digging into the string, you dont need to go that hard

[angeleocorrodead]

STOP SUMMONING GODZILLA, YOU'LL DOOM US ALL!!!

[danmaycock]

This reminds me of walking past a shop at night with a crackhead screeching about on a stolen violin.
The British Isles.

You should've got a bass bow for a better contact
