You know the russian instrument Balalaika? Well I saw a balalaika bass yesterday! It had three strings and A HUGE TRIANGULAR BODY. It was roughly six feet high and four feet long. And with a huge neck that has to make hands hurt. I'd say it had something like 45' scale.
There was a big man playing it and he seemed very small standing next to the bass. Eventhough upright basses may actually be a bit bigger, the body on this baby was so damn big that when the lowest corner touched the ground only the players head could be seen when he was standing behind it.I wan't one of those! I think people are skirting around the issue here and trying to be polite, but I can sense this undercurrent, where people want to say 'What's the point?'
What do you hope to get or expect that will be different about a 3-string bass?As the majority of factories are geared up to make 4-strings and we know they work, why not stick with this and just play 3 strings, avoiding one of them at all time? Or - even more radical, stick with a 4-string, but take one string off!The consensus is to leave the G string off and play with EAD - problems solved. So what else would having a 3-string do for you? Or is it just about being different and having a gimmick, rather than any valid musical reason?
