Location: NJ | i have one. I had several at one time.
but they are similar to a 12 string guitar. but with two octave strings.
the idea is to fill the air with a trio.
big sound. |

The mix is a bit harsh (sounds like it's a board feed) but you can really hear the 12-sting, especially during the intro and the drum solo.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Thanks for the clips. It seems to be played more like a guitar than a bass. I can only imagine the possibilities. |
