Diego Stocco – you may or may not have heard that name, but there’s a good chance you still know who he is.

He is one of the prominent sound design geniuses that created so many of the cool sounds available in Omnisphere, the ultra cool virtual synth from Spectrasonics.

Not only does he do creative sampling, he builds (or destroys) custom instruments to aid in his sound design. One of his most famous sounds in Omnisphere is the Burning Piano. That’s right, he set an upright piano on fire just so he could sample the sound of it. My hero!

Now he’s at it again hacking up an acoustic bass, as well as several other stringed instruments. He calls this new instrument the Experibass. Check out this very creative guy at work…

Here are Diego’s comments on this project…

Few weeks ago I visited a luthier looking for instruments parts, I had an idea in mind for an instrument I wanted to build. My curiosity was to hear the sound of violin, viola and cello strings amplified through the body of a double bass. I came up with a quadruple-neck experimental “something” that I thought to call Experibass.

To play it I used cello and double bass bows, a little device I built with fishing line and hose clamps, a paintbrush, a fork, spoons, a kick drum pedal and a drum stick. I hope you’ll like it!

Thanks to luthier John Wu for providing me the parts, even though I warned him that I was probably going to create a “monster” : )

At this link you can see some pictures with more detailed descriptions: http://behance.net/Gallery/Experibass/312989
