Subject: What instrument is this? From: pattyClink Date: 26 Mar 16 - 07:47 PM One of the Limeliters is playing an instrument that has a neck but no tuning pegs, the body is sort of triangular. You can catch some glimpses from about 1:10 through 1:50 on this video. Power and Glory |

Subject: RE: What instrument is this? From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 28 Mar 16 - 12:17 PM How can it be electric when it's not connected to anything? I think it's something like a balalaika. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEewSSxm-MQ |
Subject: RE: What instrument is this? From: GUEST Date: 28 Mar 16 - 12:25 PM It's plugged in when they perform the song live. The version in the video is lip-synched to a recorded-in-the-studio take. |
Subject: RE: What instrument is this? From: GUEST,Ray Date: 28 Mar 16 - 05:33 PM Yes, its a Steinberger bass although impossible to tell whether it's one of the originals or one of the Pac-rim "Spirit" models. They're surprisingly good instruments - I have one somewhere - and they use strings with balls at both ends. The one in the video appears to have been enhanced with gaffer tape round the body. |
Subject: RE: What instrument is this? From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 29 Mar 16 - 10:59 AM Okay. I guess the song seems more down home and sincere if you don't have those ugly wires coming out of the electric instrument. |
Subject: RE: What instrument is this? From: punkfolkrocker Date: 29 Mar 16 - 11:13 AM Ugly wires ??? Well.. suppose we could always go for more expensive wireless radio transmitter connections between instruments and amps...????? On the other hand.. what do beautiful wires look like.....???? 😕 |
