Jimryan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Mornin all, I'm considering taking the plunge after years of wanting one. Back in college I played a six (Hohner B Bass VI, still regret shifting it), got on really well with it too. The one I've got my eyes on is a Bassmods K7, but restringing it with a low F#. Before I take the gamble, is there any 7 players down south near me (Portsmouth), so I can see if I can get along with one before ordering? Cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalfunkbrother Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I would be intrigued to see how many 7 stringers there are around. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Pretty sure our very own [url="http://www.danveall.co.uk/"]Dood[/url] had one custom made and still uses regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yep, a Shuker 7 string I designed with Jon Shuker. I'll post a pic. It's also tuned down to F#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Oh, sorry I'm not down in Pompey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodster Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I had an Overwater 7 a while back (it's still on here somewhere). I have a Bassmods K6 and it's a wonderful instrument so I'm betting the 7 will be awesome too! I'm in Southampton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza 2905 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm close, - in Gosport; but my collection only goes as high as a 6-string. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Wow! A leftie 7 - that's a pretty narrow market. Now if it was only fretless. Edited March 14, 2014 by visog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
