Recently i came across a guy on youtube that is making a 13 string bass and posting his progress. He recently finished it but all he has posted are slide shows and a video of his talking about how great it is. I think that it's just a big cover up. The 13 string bass is fretless and it's neck and body are made out of pine and it's fingerboard is oak laminate. The bridge is wood and it's string through. The body is very small and the neck is very big which leads me to think it would be incredibly unbalanced when playing. He says he built the pickup by himself but only has pics of him making the pickup cover. He has posted sound clips of the bass but the clips sounds like a bass with frets. He has no actual videos of him playing and he says he has no plans of putting one on. Me and my friend are trying to ask him questions about why the sound clips of the bass don't match up, why he isn't posting videos of him playing it, and various other technical questions but he keeps deleting them and not answering them. He says it plays like a dream and wants to sell it. I think it would be very hard to play the neck would bend 90 degrees before the end of the day. I think that the bass doesn't actually work at all and that it is poorly built and he's trying to cover it up and just sell it.
I don't know why, but this is making me VERY MAD!!! I'm never usually like this though lol.
Do you guys think that it actually works???
