MadeThisWay Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Hi, I'm currently looking for who made this ten string fretless and who now owns it to see if they're interested in selling it and I was just wondering if anybody had any information on it on here? The link inside the link to the original forum is dead so I don't know if there is any info left over. https://www.sevenstring.org/threads/richardss-from-erb-com-new-10-string-fretless.90682/ Edited May 24, 2021 by MadeThisWay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I may be wrong (happened once before) but it looks like a RIM - Rob is a member here. @RIM Basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The guy who made it is called Mike, so Mick you are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 So that's twice in 58 years....they're starting to rack up. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Definitely not a RIM. If it was it would have a slotted headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Looks like a home-made hybrid between a Conklin and a Bee Bass. It was made 13 years ago so hunting it down will be tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I would ask why would anyone make it? It’s a bass and 5 strings are plenty, why double it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 5? 4 are plenty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to your signature, you have a 12 string guitar. Why? 6 are plenty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbd1960 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The baroque era saw the theorbo. It's in various forms, a bass lute with 7 to 10 courses plus 7 diapason strings (i.e. they're not fretted). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The superb Norwich Baroque ensemble have a theorbo-ist (he's blind, but you wouldn't know to hear him play). It really is the most extraordinary instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
