chriswareham Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 No, not one of those unplayable "extended range" things that looks like an ironing board! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131441312234"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131441312234[/url] Quote
RhysP Posted March 7, 2015 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
Annoying Twit Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 I immediately think of BEADGCFBb "Unplayable?" IMHO, not. Quote

tauzero Posted March 9, 2015 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). Quote
