Flutterby™! : 17 string bass

Bwahahaha: “I said to Billy, ‘We should order one of these, and I’ll play it. It’ll be hilarious.’ Then it went viral. I hate playing that bass. Now I’ve got to play it every night”: Elwood Francis on why he regrets his 17-string bass becoming a ZZ Top staple.

Elwood Francis is the band guitar tech who replaced Dusty Hill on stage, the bass is ridiculous, and... I think Daniel wanted to build a 7 string guitar, I think I need to suggest to him that we should just take this to extremes.
