Jean Baudin Rocks the Mario Theme on an 11 String Bass
Jean Baudin is a bassist...this is a bass...not a chapman stick. The chapman stick's strings fan from the center thicker out to thinner, plus all of the frets run straight up and down. Jean Baudin's basses are all strung like a bass or guitar with the strings decreasing in thickness, and the frets are fanned down the neck. The technique that he is using to play this song is called "tapping" and it's widely used in the bass community, especially seen used by solo artists such as Jean. These enourmous basses with 6+ strings are refered to as monster basses. Jean Baudin just finished building a 12 string bass.
