Crank that gurty in a hurry my capuchin wants to dance 🐒

@@SimonTheMagpie make a song with it

Flaming Lips exist, ya know...

Post a vid, my dude.

Please post a vid, we all want to see

I play cello and would love to see a cello with bass strings

Dude make a video

Geez okay okay I'll post a demo. Don't hold your breath since it was a horrible idea.

Do you have a proper electric cello now?

Also rounds would tear up the neck, since there are no frets on a cello.

No. Guitar strings are just very rough and thus eat bows. Historically strings were made of gut spun with round silver wire.

@@TheVoitel Good job at saying the same thing as me in a different way.

@@st_orlie No. I said something very different. You said that bowed strings have to be flat wound, while I said that they do not and that they have not historically been flat wound. The difference is just that guitar strings (especially for electric instruments) do not have a very careful finish, thus they are very rough. Take a roundwound cello string for example, and you’ll that it is much smoother that a guitar string.

@@TheVoitel I said they have to be flat wound otherwise the strings would tear up the bow, which again is exactly what you are saying. I never said you can't do it, I'm just saying it's bad for the bow. Also, gut strings are not a direct comparison to modern guitar strings because guts are much gentler than metal so they aren't nearly as rough on bows even though they aren't flat wound. So no, you added a pointless bit of history that I already knew (in an incorrect context), but other than that you just said the exact same thing as me in a slightly different way.

Mine always dried out in the container and started to suck :(

Wolfin a little late, but sometimes a dry top layer top rosin, so sometimes to you need to scratch or cut it off

You don't need rosin for the strings to create sound rosin only creates friction so the bow can make a sound

@@thewolfin i always heated mine up and hit it with a rat tail file before rosining up my bow. Stunk but worked. (Also kept it in a zip lock bag)

@@thewolfin use a lighter rosin

Did you make the short scale bass yourself or is that something that’s actually sold somewhere? I ask because I randomly ordered a short scale bass neck yesterday to build a cigar box style bass guitar

@@DavidHilowitzMusic it's the Ibanez parlor bass PNB14E. A decent cheap instrument to do string experimentation with.

@@andybaxter4442 Thanks! 🙏

Also, arent they nylon core? The pickups would only be picking up the metal wrapping?

I'd fuckin do it for the fuckin meme.

Are those the strings made from gut?

@@joeblankenship377 you can get gut strings, but it's not necessary unless you really want that specific sound. a lot of professionals i used to know swear by larsen (for your high strings) and spirocore (for your low strings) which are both all metal

I have flat wounds on my bass. Very different sound. More jazzy (when the first p bass came out you could only get flat wounds like on an orchestral double bass) I like the sound and feel but no good for slap.

electric fence wire is sharp and would tear up your hands if any of the little metal strands break

@@HerbaceousM8 They've tried barbed wire already. I don't think they'd have a problem with fence wire.

I play fretless with roundwounds, so I wouldn't say "required." There's nothing wrong with rounds. It's what Jaco did

I wonder how the opposite would go, playing bass guitar flatwounds with a bow

@@joshstarkey8883 Roundwounds will chew up the fretboard on a fretless. Less so on a fretboard made of a hard wood like Ebony. Flatwounds are almost required on a fretless instrument if it's acoustic, and/or if you do a lot of sliding. You're right though, it's not really required. Have you ever tried flat-wound strings?

@@joshstarkey8883 I have everything I need to try that, but I don't want to get rosin on my $26 per set strings. Perhaps when they need changing I will try that.

@@alecrisser12 I like the sound of the roundwounds and I play them enough my fingers aren't bothered by sliding on them. My right hand technique and the styles I play tend toward the aggressive side, but if I play less hammering the strings with my fingernails and more plucking with the fleshy side of the finger like double bass, I can mellow out whatever strings I'm playing when it's called for. The fretboard scratches are right under the strings, so even cosmetically it doesn't really bother me. Years down the road if they get deep enough to affect playability I'll (carefully and with the proper tools) sand it down a tiny bit. It probably helps I'm always trying to use my left hand as lightly as possible to fend off fatigue. My fingerboard is rosewood, I think something harder would be more ideal but I love the neck on this instrument. 5 strings with nice narrow necks are worth their weight in gold to me. Tim Sway here on KZfaq made an acrylic bass with an aluminum fingerboard and I love how bright it can get, while still retaining the ability to sound like your classic fretless. It'll be on his channel Tim Sway or New Perspectives Music if you're interested. If I'm ever building or buying custom instruments I'd love something like that. I have played flatwounds, I have a (fretted) 5 string with Ernie Ball Cobalt flats I usually break out for funk, hip hop, classic rock.

O)))

Chris_htepO - Nice

I have. Love the feel and the darker tone. But no good for slap bass.

Cello is tuned CGDA, while bass is tuned to EADG. Upright bass always uses flatwounds as well as the other instruments of the family. I'd think round wound strings would break an upright or at least eat out the fingerboard.

@@michaelthemediocre4809 i believe its also so the bow can get better grip on the strings

@@flatcapfiddle Flatwounds not good for slap?? Bernard from Chic would like to have a word with you.

But like a half size cello for students because bass strings are too short I think
