What if you tried this again, but instead, twisting the balloon before stringing it? It would create more string tension and eliminate the hollow characteristics of the balloon. This is such a dope ass idea though. I love it fr.
Put balloons of different lengths on bits of plastic straw, blow through the straws, you either get fart sounds or more musical sounding stuff at a hire pitch.
1:31 - I so laughed at this and yet I'm so ill at the same time.. They'll accuse me of faking my flu next! I think this should be dubbed the 'Clown Bass' or the 'Party Bass'.
It has a piezo pickup. Most acoustic basses do. They can be kind of quiet compared to other instruments due to the low frequency. Low sounds are harder for us to hear, so amplification is usually a necessity.
Like many experiments... not all results are positive. But we still learned something. Like Rhett and Link doing "Will it..." "Remember, we do this, so you don't have to. Because the world needs to know." xD
You mean "Fret"? That probably would make a difference. I think the main thing that controls the pitch though, is how fast he rubs his finger over the string.
LOL , your joke at the end made me laugh . for stiffer sound you can try to use a rubber tourniquet. another idia is to take alot of tape from a video cassette and try to make a strings from it.
In child hood I used to put rubber bands on cardboard box and play it as guitar. Now I have a real guitar.
I used an empty tissue box for the body haha!
But when will you put rubber bands on your real guitar?
@@ExcessDenied0 why should I do that?
@@aviralchandrasingh6638 the real question Is why not?
@@johnmarquez3807 this is a bass not a guitiar
You know the bass player a real one when he still wants to give a shit bass a try lmaooo
I think that the majority of people subscribing to Simon are the kind of people that want to give almost every instrument a try, me included
Y'all are fucking pioneers, that rubber string bass and modular jam actually SLAPPED
also congrats on 100k, much deserved
6:37 this sounds like a gorillaz song
ReaperSnype921 omg yesssssss

I see this comment in so many videos lmao
Acoustic bass strings on a balloon?
Mindblowing
uno reverse card
Sounds like a SNES bass texture. Love it
Sounds like an extremely muted bass with a ducks in the chamber
I've been watching your guys videos for a while and I have to admit, I love your creativity here 🙌🏻
You should have played 99 Luftballons (99 Red Balloons) with those strings!
awesome
The comment i wanted to say 😑
Man you know what would be cool? Those curly phone lines as strings!
macro casserole absolute genius
I feel like they'd go straight getting them to pitch
Bailey Serrao probably but I imagine it would still look silly and fun
You should do patch cables as bass strings
Jazz Doucette no
Hello, this is...wait. Are you trying to make bass strings out of llamas? Not llama hair. Llamas.
Magpie: yes
5:37 Kinda sounds like one of them really old flash-games on like Y8
Damn. Birthday parties would be fun with this.

Davie504: *wait, that's illegal.*
finally someone mentioned davie. slap
Strong
god of slap will come in three
Épico
Slap
sounds like an earthbound battle theme lol
Lol, that's so accurate
Battle against an unsettling foe
love your stuff man
Vedendo questo laboratorio mi s'illumina idee per creare melodie ... Top fantastick 🤔😱🤙🏼
made me really laugh at the end with the screaming balloon guy giving out his work to kids
This is the RUclips I have been looking for
What about braided balloons? 😂
Genius. I want to see this now
I love this man
Daaamn. Simon. Congrats on 100k
1:33 I cracked up when the feedback started lmao
Glad I found you fella. Good fun content. Love it.
I thought it was just going to snap the balloons when you played them, but I am pleasantly surprised.
I wonder how wig hair would sound?
Nylon or yak?
These actually sound really really cool
It looks so good with those happy clown-colours
Sounds like farts. Cool
Fart band
laugh so hard wkakak
6:07 People who were wearing headphones-rest in peace
OMG! I must delete this comment
It sounds great! It mainly reminds me of Gorillaz, that jam around 7 minutes could easily have been an Albarn creation 😂
Now that's what I call a Bassoon
These balloons as strings really sound good lol
4:33 Live footage of Pink Floyd recording UmmaGumma (1969)
Mr.oizo and early justice would love this
全部凄いけどやっぱり発想が凄い😂😂
Keep the bass vids coming I love this shit
conclusion: you can make an actuall chill song with it
You should grab a power drill string winder -- really good investment. They also have them for drum keys!
Next level ghostnotes !
I'm howling! 🤣🤣🤣 This is great
I remember seeing a thing where someone pumped helium into the soundbox of a violin and it changed the pitch
This sounds familiar... I think I've seen something similar.
I think I enjoyed these bass strings the best
4:34 this sound made my cat freak out 😂
I love your Swedish ascent!!😆
Shit this is way out there. I looove it
Right now inflate the strings. You could probably get some sort of interesting sound out a bass with one thin inflated balloon working as a string.
They could put a small bit of helium or sulphur hexafloride in them.
Fun experiment!!!
I swear I can smell the ballon just by watching this
The camera guy is Krist Novoselic
I'm holding my dump to watch this
You know your phone can follow you to the restroom right? ;)
"She's thick" 🤣 how we all like it haha
Andreas (sp?) always gets a lot more out of it than I think is going to be possible when I first hear the sound.
9:10 sounds like something sevish would make
Outrageous as usual.
What about bicycle inner tube?
Can I have a link for this bass?
Whats the name of the last blue pedal that they used?
Please release am album of this stuff. I especially liked this one
Put balloons of different lengths on bits of plastic straw, blow through the straws, you either get fart sounds or more musical sounding stuff at a hire pitch.
4:03 he said Slap
Slap like now
Not ePicO
This I illegal not EpIcO
when you rub it sounds like a cuica
This reminded me of the Ashbory Bass, that actually uses silicon strings.
Or like a Bass Ukulele... they use rubber strings. :)
*ADHD maxed out*
7:00 the kid yelling with the mic in the back of his throat on cod
hehe..what an experiment..muhahaha..great job guys! :-)
E string using 4balloons twist
A string using 3balloons twist
D string using 2balloons twist
G string using 1balloon twist
The video you made is awesome 👍
Behold.......The Bassoon!
Sounds like a Björk track
1:31 - I so laughed at this and yet I'm so ill at the same time.. They'll accuse me of faking my flu next!
I think this should be dubbed the 'Clown Bass' or the 'Party Bass'.
6:15 reminds me of the intro to Humble by Kendrick Lamar
What is you did a kind of bass kalimba, where you have reeeaaaaly long tongs for the strings?
this is what music is all about tbh
Torta de mermelada de arándanos
I love the fact that...he's ussing an amplifier,but the bass doesn't even have pick-ups)))
It’s mic’d!
It has a piezo pickup. Most acoustic basses do. They can be kind of quiet compared to other instruments due to the low frequency. Low sounds are harder for us to hear, so amplification is usually a necessity.
Tie a shit ton of strings together and make one mega bass string
they did braided strings
Călin Guga not like that. Length wise I meant
You had to twist the balloons to get the sound
It's so colorful,like kinda bass (if they use) in Aqua or K Perry video.btw have you tried dental floss as string?.
Very impressive
The thumbnails make you think its going to be amazing but then theres the reality hahaha
For real, this video was trash
Like many experiments... not all results are positive. But we still learned something. Like Rhett and Link doing "Will it..." "Remember, we do this, so you don't have to. Because the world needs to know." xD
6:56
When the aliens come to abduct me
6:35 post punk avalanche incoming
Do the "squeaks" have different pitches depending on where you free though?
You mean "Fret"? That probably would make a difference. I think the main thing that controls the pitch though, is how fast he rubs his finger over the string.
so creative!
Dude this really sounds great, cheapest strings.
can you make music with cockrings ? i bet you cant
I felt those sounds in my teeth
Can you try with some cable ?
It’s got an old SNES kind of sound. Also, clown band. You guys jam with balloon bass and balloon guitar. Balloon piano?
Maybe you can do an experiments using badminton string after this.
had my bird on my shoulder watching this. he did NOT like the balloon rubbing sound! RIP right ear.
I think you would fit in touring alongside Death grips and Die Antwoord
String up a cello with balloons and make looooong rub noises
Dear lords, I want this instrument for Kontakt.
takuaches watching this like 😳
The bajoloche 😳
Could you play Parhelic Triangle with this?
Man you should try garden ropes (i don't know the right name). The green elastic ones.
LOL , your joke at the end made me laugh . for stiffer sound you can try to use a rubber tourniquet. another idia is to take alot of tape from a video cassette and try to make a strings from it.
