I definitely want a 7 string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I saw a nice 7-string bass player on YouTube the other day, playing a nice, harmonically sophisticated piece. I watched the whole thing thinking I might have found something played on an ERB that would justify the E bit! I was disappointed as the plyer, who was clearly competent and knew his harmony, played the whole thing on the top four strings (DGCE). By my reckoning, he could have easily done it on a conventional guitar with minimal discernable difference. The problem is that, whilst he would undoubtedly turn heads as a 7-string bass player (lots of WOW factor), as a guitar player, he was merely ok. So, what's the motivation?
