This Eventide demo is a masterclass in fucked-up-looking basses

As if beat frequencies at low notes below 1 Hz were very noticable. As I recall the "djent" moniker is an onomatopoeia of the palm-mute chugging of the style: "...dje, dje, dje, dje..."

If a guitarist is really good they should be able to use pressure and slight bending to ensure their intervals beat evenly, not unlike someone who plays an unfretted instrument.

I wonder if the maker offers different temperament options?

Yep. 95% of this music is "junt junt junt" on a low fuckin' A string with metal zone distortion yet they have 9 strings and fanned frets..

This looks massively cool.

Does it? It's got some uncanny valley thing going for me where I'm kinda somewhere between "hm yeah ok" and completely revulsed.
It's almost exactly a perfect cross of a Tele and an Ovation Deacon/Breadwinner.

I'm imagining someone shredding on this thing, and then they pause to adjust one of those graphic EQ sliders just the tiniest bit.

Exactly. I never see some crazy jazz guy or classical guitarist using one of these monstrosities - it's always some chug-a metal dude.

This guy somehow took one of the most challenging pieces ever written for the piano and made it work on six strings and 18 frets on an instrument that's basically unchanged in the last 250 years:

Definitely a ugly tool and a instrument that is a broken record.

I own a Breadwinner so you definitely nailed why I think it's cool!
