Look up the band “morphine”; the lead singer and bassist basically made up his own instrument (a two string bass) so he can play a lot of riffs easier, especially with power chords, while singing. Especially prudent when you don’t have a guitarist, the band was mostly him and a drummer and sax player. Goes to show that ingenuity and creativity is more important than how many strings you have (looking at you, 6 string bass players and 7 string guitarists)

It was so needlessly complicated 💀

I've got a locally built (Olympia,WA) two string, upright, acoustic/electric washtub bass. Got an E string and an A string. Limited to roughly 1 1/2 octaves but is a blast to hammer away on. S'called a "Cabletub Bass" as it uses metal cables in it's construction. I love it.

This is all that honest bass guitarists need.

Man is punching his strings

That jam was awesome dude

Normal person: The 2 string bass is a bass with only the E and A string. This guy: The intricately calibrated duo of metallic filaments adorning the 2-string bass, in their refined manifestation, navigate the labyrinth of the harmonic spectrum with exacting precision. Each string, a meticulously tensioned conduit of auditory potential, is attuned to a distinct fundamental pitch, thereby orchestrating a harmonically sparse yet sonically nuanced symphony. These metallic entities, poised upon the resonant body crafted from tonal woods, engage in a dynamic dance of vibrations when subject to the virtuosic manipulation of the performer's digits. Through this finely choreographed interplay, the strings, resonating with mathematical resonance, channel their vibrational energy into a transmutation process mediated by magnetic pickups, paving the way for an intricate journey of electro-acoustic transduction that ultimately materializes as a rich and evocative auditory experience.

This the bass I need.

You can use it as a lead just as morphine did on their cure for pain lp where bass is lead and sax supports.
