Thanks Unc. It still amazes me when stuff like this turns into a real instrument!
Thanks AGP. They don't have the volume that actual upright bass strings have but the tone is pretty good. Especially when you think big bucks for the factory strings and only a couple of dollars for these. It's hard to see in the video but there is a mic at the bottom of the bass to help balance it's volume with my big mouth.

"Wow", when I watched the Video, I didn't realise what type of strings you used, but "Crikey!" they sounded great!
It is amazing that this kind of setup sounds so good.
