How Many Strings? 42 You say???

Post by cjj »

OK, you guys with 12 strings always complain about having to change them or keep them in tune. How would you like to have to deal with 42 of the little buggers?

And just in case you're wondering, yes, you can play this thing, well, some people can anyway...


Here's a bit more info:

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Well they got the name right. Pikasso, indeed!

Can't say as I'm tempted by this one. Interesting to look at, though, for an art student like me.

That thing is pointless.... just a highbrow one man band, and not very good at that.

Of course it looks excessive, but hey, I have seen concerts put on by a guy with a double-neck harp guitar that is basically like a 4080 in design, and that sounds fantastic. Who knows. If anybody can make something like this work it'd be Pat Metheny.

Man, now I actually want a 4080. I never wanted one before I typed that last paragraph.
