I wonder if it's a toy or there's something particular in mind for it

I love multi-string basses, although I find that somewhat aesthetically challenged.

[Cosmo Valdemar]

The should have had all tuners on one side, and had a massive droopy Jackson headstock.

IMO Dave Ellefson can do whatever he likes.

Ten strings sell but who's buying? 💀

Get In! 😂

The jokes not the bass. Though I loved Dave was I was a young metal head so if he's happy then good for him.

Actually, is it just me or has he got a really big face?

[Daz39]

It’s the right face for metal!!

Jaco only needed.........hahahahaha

Looks a beast of a bass. I like it when Dug P plays his 12 string basses - adds such a depth.

I think these double-course basses always work best with a pick. It seems to make the thinner string ring with more presence and clarity than just playing with fingers, so Dave Ellefson should get excellent results from it.

David borrowed a Yamaha eight string from jimmy Bain and wrote dawn patrol with it.

Dean did one a few years ago. I want to say that it was the Hammer bass (maybe a play on words with Hamer?) I don't think they lasted very long.

John Paul Jones has a 12 string dual course bass and it sounds incredible
