It’s an elephant that ate someone’s whole stash of edibles in one bite.

sangriaferret, in This is an Octobass

Found a good clip of it in action

KuroiKaze,

Shit this is even the guy from the photo isn’t it?

sangriaferret,

Probably. I doubt there’s a lot of skilled octobass players out there. Shit, I doubt there’s a lot of octobasses out there period.

nucleative,

Dick measuring. Pure dick measuring.

Thisfox, in This is an Octobass

And yet only three strings…

Seems strange they didn’t make the key levers more ergonomic.

vivadanang,

are they keys or locks? maybe I’m not familiar with the right nomenclature.

Thisfox,

keys or levers, attached to a set of capos. Not locks.

    Thisfox,

    Nah, would make it look even larger, which would be good!

    Tall as he is, the musician does look almost as if he has to stand on a platform to play. And that twist in his back doesn’t look sustainable.

    Of course Davie found the biggest base possible

    SkyezOpen,

    Hopefully he gave it the biggest SLAP

    Madison420,

    Indeed he did.

    Rhynoplaz,

    Very cool! Never heard of that thing before. Very impressive to see it in action!

    Maultasche, in This is an Octobass

    Octobass Traveler: Champions of the Concert

    Treczoks, in This is an Octobass

    The only string instrument that can save more than two people in a flood.

    kool_newt,

    I’d market it as the Safe-T-Bass

    They’d have to plug the holes though

    _Gandalf_the_Black_, in This is an Octobass

    Rayspekt,

    Is this the instrument that does the dramatic horn sound that Christopher Nolan forced to use every 20 seconds in his movies?

    VindictiveJudge,
    @VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

    Small chance it was used for the Reaper main cannon in Mass Effect.

    jana,

    There’s a size larger: the subcontrabass sax

    nilloc,

    At first it looked like a Contrabass Slide Whistle.

    I’m a bit disappointed.

    RamSwamson,

    These are all well and good but what does it take to get all these in the same room, playing at the same time?

    dangblingus,

    You know homie is absolutely PACKING.

    mack7400,

    That’s one whisper you shouldn’t be careless with.

    dodslaser,

    Careful scream

    They could have been nice and put the levers a bit lower.
