Diego Stocco - Experibass video

UPDATE 05/26/10: I composed and played more music with the Experibass: www.soundcloud.com UPDATE: I played the Experibass on Hans Zimmer's score for Sherlock Holmes: bit.ly More info and pictures here: bit.ly Few weeks ago I visited a luthier looking for instruments parts, I had an idea in mind for an instrument I wanted to build. My curiosity was to hear the sound of violin, viola and cello strings amplified through the body of a double bass. I came up with a quadruple-neck experimental "something" that I thought to call Experibass. To play it I used cello and double bass bows, a little device I built with fishing line and hose clamps, a paintbrush, a fork, spoons, a kick drum pedal and a drum stick. I hope you'll like it! Thanks to luthier John Wu for providing me the parts, even though I warned him that I was probably going to create a "monster" : ) At this link you can see some pictures with more detailed descriptions: behance.net/Gallery/Experibass/312989
