Annoying Twit Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Nobody bid on this 12 string bass. The listing claims it's made in the same factory that makes the Dean 12 string.

Paul Cooke Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 It's a bit of a novelty item... not only that, finding strings for it would be a real nightmare... and I'll bet it's a real *&"^£$&*"* to tune... so basically, I'm not at all surprised it didn't go... It was remarked on in an earlier post when it first popped up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trace_n_bass Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 If you want lots of strings why are they playing bass!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) The bassist in a local band has one ([url="http://www.myspace.com/tortillaarmy"]http://www.myspace.com/tortillaarmy[/url])and he was nice enough to let me have a go, and it was a great bass, a totally different experience.

Wil Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Well, it's a Galveston for a start. £198 is expensive for firewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8bass Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Have to say these things sound monumental ... they totally rock ! Sold in many guises as Galveston , Carlo Robelli etc .. cheap as chips and not too shabby IMHO Ive played one for 4 or 5 years and it still blows me away ...if i didnt allready own far too many basses id have this too.. Bulid quality is better than average ..some of the tops are pretty good ...actives too A little neck heavy but watch your guitar players jaw drop when you open up with one of thes thru a bi amp rig and apply a little chorus .. Yummm There was a Hamer 12 Kicking round too ...might go take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 i'd go for an 8-string but not a 12-string....they just look loads of hassle... although they do sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Relisted. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320307011224&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...B:WNARL:GB:1123[/url] If I was interested in this, I might email the seller asking them to speak to me if it doesn't sell again and the seller is prepared to negotiate on price a bit more.
