These are not "off the shelf" items; you'll have to get one made!

Those 11 strings are some ugly instruments though

It's custom build only if you want something more than 7 strings I'm afraid.

I have a 9 string made by AC Guitars. There are a fair number of ACG owners on here and a sub-forum in "Bass Affiliates". There's also a long review of my 9 in the "Bass Reviews" section. There's a link in my signature.







Really cannot fault this instrument. The woods are great, it's excellently built, quality hardware, sounds superb and the balance is spot on. I thoroughly recommend ACG not only because the finished instrument are so cool, but also because Alan's communication is so good as well.

Thanks Pete

The thing about ERB's (Extended Range Basses) is that they're much easier to play than people think. Also, my ACG has a lower action than any of my other basses!

Thought of another thing as well. Have a look at the forum at [url="http://www.extendedrangebassist.com"]www.extendedrangebassist.com[/url] That's where the big bass owners live!
