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" : )

    Sounds like a real action movie soundtrack. Like Terminator or something.

    So good, from one (kinda) instrument!

    Once again, good work!
    Much respect. You're a true innovator. Very uniquely done.

    My mothers boyfriend would have loved to see this, he was one of 4 Master violin builders in Holland.

    (unfortunately he passed away recently)

    The resonance of the corpus is amazing , the sound aesthetic reminds me of "Einstürzende Neubauten "
    and at 02:05 i´m going totally of the hook here.
    Great Work Diego.

    It's absurd how good this is, not just musically or in the editing, but in how it moves.
