chriswareham Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 No, not one of those unplayable "extended range" things that looks like an ironing board!

RhysP Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 When anybody mentions "8 string bass" that's always what I think of, a four string with a set of octave strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I immediately think of BEADGCFBb "Unplayable?" IMHO, not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 [quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1425762888' post='2710553'] Octave eights are unusual [/quote] Once you get past 6 strings, it seems the tendency is to have odd numbers of strings (I think there's quite a few people that would think that any number of strings above six is odd). I'd think of an 8 or 12-string as being double-course (8) or triple-course (12), and of course a 10-string is a double-coursed 5 (like mine).
