There are what look like 2 bass "ouds" @ 0:25...
A close-up of one @ 1:49...

Anybody ever seen one or know anything about them?
(I can't understand what they are talking about).

Mee too, Sazi. I was thinking a while ago, that it would be nice to have a bass oud being tuned an octave lower than a regular arab oud.
I solved this problem by buying a Godin A5 5-string fretless bass, which I can tune to CFADG instead of HEADG without problems. Because it sounds very
contrabass like, it's a nice addition to oud.
But if I imagine an oud ensemble on a stage, such a bass oud would look better, though I'm not shure, if it would sound deep enough compared to my
Godin or even a real double bass.
Interesting topic!

Sehrud
Hi Sazi, Tach Aymara 
Here you can see the turkish bass-oud called
Sehrud
There must be some clips on youtube from a small orchestra performing in a old church in Istanbul, where one of the musicians plays a Sehrud.
Unfortunately I dont find it now, but I`ll post it if i find it back.
Cheers,
Marcus
Playing the oud is like feeding my soul with peace

Hi Marcus,
thanks for the hint.
It seems, I was more lucky 
I think, you ment THIS video?
Compared to a Turkish oud the Sehrud is really bassy, but in comparison to an arab oud it's more like an oud with a big body
It's frequency range doesn't compete with a western bass.
Very interesting instrument though.
PS: A further Youtube search for "bass oud" revealed THIS well known guy
