What the **** is that first one? Is that a bass and 6string all in one? Those would be some ****ed up chords

this is the stick, It's a relative new instrument with a lot of qualities, basically you play this by tapping, but you can play as guitar or a bass (slap, finger picking...)...It has 8, 10 or 12 strings. In "groso modo" is a mix between a bass and a guitar...

Are there frets on it or does it just look like there is?

no, it has an strange sound, but you can configure it with several picks positions, in this page I've seen one couple with a MIDI pick!! It has to be great!!...
you can try to DL some Guillermo Cides (an argentinian stickplayer) song....

Aaron, you only have to imagine a piano, you can make differents melodies at same time...with the stick you can get these via tapping...
