@337camo a resonator or dobrow was invented around the 1930's because the guitar was getting dround out by all the wind instruments so they made metal tubings and stuff to make it louder because they did not have amps back than :-)
I'd like to see/head a recording in the same setting, no amps and a mic at the same distance from both instruments. I wonder if that bass can survive without amplification. A better sound and video resolution may also not hurt.
My Gawd, if I could play like Mike I'd never leave the house. I have to say about the bass though - what's the point? Do they project better than a regular acoustic bass - or what are the other advantages over a non-reso bass?
The one with the Beard cone is loud acoustically were as the acoustic base guitars with normal spruce sound boards can hardly be heard at all with out plugging them in. These are loud with out electricity.
Thanks for putting these videos up. This is the best stuff ever.
The bass is standard bass guitar. The reso is G tuning (from the top) D-B-G-D-B-G
Awesome instruments and playing, this is beautiful.
Fantastic!!
I have got to try one of those one day.

Do you guys sell the basses? I’ve been hunting for a dobro-resonator bass for awhile now😅

I thought this was about the bass. But... apparently it's about the guitar player.
@tinseth7 I like them, they're nice. definately a cool guitar.
@connaught2008 Yes.
The Fender is only a twenty inch scale. This one looks longer to me.
