I think Elwood is a fantastic addition to ZZ Top. God bless him.

I have four, five and six string basses and mainly gig with the five and six string. Just looking at that picture forced me to up my Fentanyl dose!

That’s awesome. This is first I heard about it. I saw them open for The Rolling Stones in 1989 or so.

I guess you only play the bottom four (or maybe) five strings traditionally? The rest would be by tapping?

I would have guessed it had to have three or four necks!

Damn! I thought moving to a 5 string was being extra. That hurts my arthritic hands just looking at it.

Had to hang up the bass a few years ago, it is just getting too painful to play.
