ern500evo Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Just had an ad come up for this on the Wish website. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Yours for under £700 if it takes your fancy! Edited October 10, 2020 by ern500evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxlin Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Apart from anything else, it doesn’t seem to be able to offer the same pickup position across all the strings. If it’s not a fake/con that is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odysseus Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I reckon if the North coast has got waves 6 feet and clean, I could get a decent ride on that! BTW was it £700 for the bass, or a re-string?.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I don't think you could actually buy that from Wish, it'll be a scam like everything else on there. There original was built for the famous YouTube oaf Jared Dines and turned out to have been made in China following some sort of scam involving the original US based builder he had contracted to build it.

I'm sure Schack Basses made something like this for NAMM one year, just as a one-off, non-production model. Can't find any pix of it, though.

Black Coffee Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I really fail to see the point of this. I’d be totally lost on it. 4 or 5 strings and maybe 6 at a stretch is all I can deal with. Am I alone in this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always used 4 string basses, have played a few fives and a couple of sixes but never gigged with them as I don’t really have a need for it. I’d like to have a go on something like a 9 string, just to see how easy it is to adapt, but like you say, I think I’d be totally lost on it initially.

LeftyJ Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I have a 7-string guitar that always messes with my head when I haven't played it for some time. I would be totally lost here too! Would have been helpful if it had some way of helping you tell the strings apart, like different colour strings or different colour areas on the fingerboard or even in the fretwire. Just a little bit of Fisher Price style outlines. This thing is a total puzzle! Edited October 14, 2020 by LeftyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickyDBRmf Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Dual Bass Reciprocal 12 strings on the Stick is fine for me. Some for this hand, some for that hand. All reachable with either hand. HooYaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodwind Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) I had the misfortune of youtube recommending a "Djent 2019" guitar battle video to me. This involved an 18 string bass/guitar facing off against a 20string bass/guitar. I lasted about 11 seconds before clicking away.
