Celloblaster owners unite!

[fivestringfury]

I have a schecter diamond series CB2000 cello blaster. I've had it since 99. I've got some limited info on it. Does anyone still make them. I keep seeing stuff about PentasystemTM. Can't find much on how this pentasystem works, but there's plenty on how it got started. Just give me some random info. Alternate tuning, p-ups, strings ect.

Looks like there aren't any cello blaster owners on here...

What is a cello blaster?

 

[panzerfaust666]

a bass tuned in 5th's iirc.

 

[genocide roach]

a 5 string guitar tuned in 5ths

Ah.
Sounds like a ton of fun. You could do some really weird stuff on such an instrument.

I had never heard of these until I saw this thread.

What's the scale length on these things?

 

[genocide roach]

i dont remember. it felt standard though

Interesting, I'd have thought they'd be baritone since cellos lowest strings are tuned to the second C below middle C.

If they did that and made it fretless, I'd kill to own one.

about the same as a guitar.
I've got one. Pretty cool instrument.
Wonder why they stopped making them, as it is a cool hybrid instrument briding the range between bass and guitar.
