FreddyS Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Here's some of my stuff. The 9 string and the 6 string are made by Chris Larkin, whil the 8 string is a Basslab bass.

yorick Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 The Basslab looks interesting... how do you get on with the split neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Interesting Basslab thingie. Have you got any recordings of you playing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Love the fanned fret 9 and the basslab looks interesting. +1 would be interested to hear your opinion on how it sounds or some clips. I'm not too keen on the looks of the Singlecut 6, but I'm very particular over the shape/outline that a Singlecut should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreddyS Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi, the split neck on the Basslab is no problem, I bought this one used for two weeks ago, but I'm already used to it. Sorry no recordings of me playing it yet. I have now restrung it and am now tuning it from B - A#. If I was going to use identical sets on the fretted and the fretted (like in the picture) I'd like it to have a few strings more! As for the singlecut I can understand that people are not too keen about the looks of it, but it is one of those basses that has too be seen to appreciate it! (Hmm, I've heard people say this about their girlfriends ... It doesnt look that nice in photos, but if you see it in person or strap it on and its a totally different story. Ergonomically it is the best bass I've ever had and a pleasure to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgordonfreeman Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Wow, that Basslab is different. What's the idea of the angled last fret? Or is it a fret? Welcome to Basschat by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvetkevorkian Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Three top notch instruments there. Very jealous- I've wanted a BassLab for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7string Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Always great to have another 9 string on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Welcome to the forum!! My goodness I love that Basslab one... Me wants!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 That Basslab thing is quite a fresh concept because it's a lot like a double necked bass - two sets of identical tunings rather than one of these things that sounds like a guitar. I'd really like to play it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreddyS Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Yeah, the Basslab is very nice! It also sounds very big, probably due to the hollow neck and body construction. I had been very curious about the Basslabs for a while, and when I found this one used I had to have it. I can say one thing for sure, it won't be the last Basslab I'm getting!

EmmettC Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I actually saw your 9 string before it was finished, it looks amazing in the flesh. How long did it take to get used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
