fake as it gets.....just a terrible ending to an amazing band.

Error in judgement indicated...

Seen these guys twice in the 80’s and they put on amazing shows then. They had lasers, square floors that lit up in sequence to the music, that they would dance on, maracas that came down on wires. It was a blast. They are a little less mobile now, but still sound amazing. That bass is a little crazy but that’s ok.

Love the ironing board

Hi! I am a bass player. My bass is a bad ass beast with 17 strings, but I use 2 of them only. Please, clap your hands to me. Thanks.

i have NEVER seen a guitar like th one Elwood has

Seventeen string bass players spend half their time tuning their instrument and the other half playing out of tune.

I love this video.

lose the big bass it does nothing for your image

Thats so crazy zz top keeps opening this song with pearls girl by underworld

just stop it...

Let’s play two strings out of 17…the 15 others are a backup in case one of the two strings breaks. You have to be prepared!

DUSTY wanted Elwood to continue as bass player "As Long As The Band Was Still Active Upon My Demise". Those words were in his will from what I was told. Dusty never demanded a 17 string bass guitar! It IS cool... 100% useless, 200% showmanship, and if you look closely, his fingers are faking it

This is hilarious! 🎸👍🏻😎👍🏻🎼

That thing looks HEAVY.

That Bass Ax can chop an entire Petrified Forest 🌳 Um guessing, Three Five String Bass Guitars in Three piano Octaves with an Octave higher on the First String & an Octave Lower on the 17th String. @ this point I sound like Terrance Howard 😮 Rock On 🤘🏿

I feel for his tech having to tune that thing! ;)

NONSENSE...

Talk about being under pressure! That thing is rad!

17 strings but 13 just display

Elwood intentionally wanted to play that bass as a laugh and one off. Now it's become a staple of the live shows and he regrets ever doing it. He said he hates playing that thing lol. It shows Fender on the head stock but it's not actually a Fender. It's some bass guitar he found on the Internet and thought it was hilarious. It came from China lol.

Instruments sound kinda crappy live

Washboard bass to go with washtub bass

Extra long fingers will come in handy for that bass.

He said it's a piece of crap, but in his hands it sounds amazing. You can have one too, he said "Ordered off one of those Chinese sites".

Hilarious! The hair, surf board bass.

Great vocals from Billy......and Elwood breathes freshly into the legendary ZZ Top.......👍

Everybody is cheesing at the bass but for me it's the crowd 😂😂

This was in HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA

Damn, a 17 string bass?

Saw them 3 times with a longtime friend. That friend turned into a dic hole haven't seen him in years. At least zz staying at it

The idea is to out weigh your guitar not the other way around

GREAT JOB !! They still my favorite three pice band !!!!

Yes sir Frank Beard!

I was just reading how Elwood feels like he isnt really good enough to take Dusty's place and be in the band. Poor guy, imposter syndrome is real ya'll. Elwood, you are badass, you played that beast of a bass flawlessly. We love you and you absolutely deserve this honor.

I saw the "snowboard" yesterday in Paris 😊👍Never seen something like that. Wondered if it was a real guitar or a toy 😂😂but yes it's a real one! It's a real challenge to manage to play all the cords!

Literally the coolest thing ever "This fucking SUCKS actually!"

Who's the clown with the big clown guitar?

If you're there live, you feel this cool heavy bass sound in your whole body. Rock ON!!!😎🎸

I don't understand why Dusty's role is being made so ridiculous! the glued-on beard, that ridiculous bass dummy 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ RIP Thirsty

HELL YEAH .

I miss Dusty even more. #clownshow

Doubles as a cheeseboard when you need a snack between songs?

бля, з цієї пісні я почав слухати рок!

damn hes sound like 20 years ago!

time flies beach boys

As a bassist, I shudder to think what that thing weighs. . .

13+ spare strings to carry...

Right. But can you barre that thing?
