That 8-string harmonic bass is very interesting. You ever tried something like that? I used to own a 12-string Strat (one of my selling regrets) and it was great for rhythm guitar. One for bass could be interesting.
Never tried one myself. The shop staff was not overly friendly so I didn’t ask to try this one.
It’s hard to tell in the image but due to how the higher octave strings lie (about a string width below the lower octave ones) I think it actually looked relatively difficult to play.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing actually. Should be able to play both strings with the tip of a finger really. That one looks almost like you shift from one octave to another instead of playing both at once. On the 12-string I had, it would be hard to play one string without playing the one next to it.
What an amazing store! I would be so poor if I lived there!
As a newb, I agree it was interesting to hear how different they were.
I’m sure she appreciates your sacrifice. I, on the other hand, am totally green with envy. ![]()
Did you ever get your 5-string back???
Still waiting on it (it’s been one week, they said it would be 1-2, so not late yet.)
I mean, even the intro music is somehow… porn:
He has some expensive basses there like Fodera and just lays them on top of each other. Part of me says that’s just wrong and part of me says basses are meant to be used and abused. People even pay extra to have fake wear and tear done to basses. I tend to baby my nicer equipment though.
not sure if this was posted above, apologies if it was, but man o man, this thing is crazy…
I’m Dutch, and I wonder how many smackers go in 250 squids.
there are 3 basses I will own someday. either the red (which I used to own
) or noir ricky, a tbird and a bongo.
that bongo
give it to me
I don’t usually like Rickenbacker’s aethetically, but I quite like that black one! Never seen one like that before. Looks awesome.
Modulus Graphite Quantum TBX - I could get used to owning one
Nice touch with the two different tones of LEDs.
Then there’s this one:

Not cheap.
That is how most of these dreams seem to get crushed ![]()
Just adding the LEDs costs just under twice as much as I paid for both of my basses combined.
