It's a Bass! It's a Guitar! It's...
A gimmick? A revelation? Whatever the case, you ain't seen nothing like this! Not a lefty but I'm not sure it would matter given the design. You'd just have to flip nuts/bridge saddles? around I think. Sample videos and website kinda suck, but you should get the picture :

My mind is filled with so many responses I don't even know where to start!!!
Are those knobs on the top/bottom? Seems like they'd be digging into your leg when playing seated.
This is either genius or... or... or...
OMG!

Perfect too "wow" your musician friends, probably useless for anything else.

It's... not a Charlie Hunter guitar.

Not only that, but how exactly would you play either side? Your thumb would be anchored on the opposite fretboard, dragging up and down against other strings, frets, etc? Then you'd have to have the side you're not playing completely off, unless you want amplified noise while you're brushing up against it.rdavidson wrote:My mind is filled with so many responses I don't even know where to start!!!

Once you get over the "wow" factor, you start thinking about and realize it's practically useless.

And don't bother wearing a belt buckle cause it'll get caught in the strings!

Re: It's a Bass! It's a Guitar! It's...
I'm picturing playing each fretboard with one hand, taping, ala Chapman Stick. Of course that would require wearing it so it was pointed at an outward & upward angle.

kinda like a jeep where you have 3 days of snow out of the whole winter, the honeymoon is short lived.
for noodling at home it would be awesome. For practical purposes....not so much.

To many guitarists and bass players out there their instrument is an extension to their phallus anyway, so why not?Pete Gossett wrote:I'm picturing playing each fretboard with one hand, taping, ala Chapman Stick.
