d-basser Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Looking at that bass and not owning it makes me cry a little inside. I want something, then I want bigger hands lol (I have midget hands!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If keys players can have 3 synths onstage,then Its ok to have a few more strings...Hell these guys are so great they TOLD me to not bring the 4 string anymore after they heard the 5,and the Drummer REALLY REALLY wants me to play the 9 at the North Leeds Bikers rally in March! Since obtaining the 9 Ive had offers of collaborations and work from Drum and Bass DJs,Jungleists, Ambient projects,a few metal bands ,an Industrial band,a charity record in aid of the restoration of 'Unity hall' in Wakefield,and Im auditioning for a Metal band as we speak...and Im looking for ,in the future,to perform with a solo female voice (Kinda Eno/Dead can Dance). All work is contact.....all contact is good. Edited November 12, 2007 by ARGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc B Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 That's a work of art ARGH. A lot of basses with more than 6 strings look unbalanced aesthetically to me but that one's gorgeous. I'd love to hear and feel the lowest note it puts out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalmaniac Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 What styles do you play. Does it tap well... please tell me it taps well.!!!!! giddy childish giggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARGH Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) Thankyou for the kind words again everyone. Some 9 news first,we are (ok...Jim is)redesigning the tailpiece section,nothing too radical,but a different design,we both knew this would take some tweeking,and this is the first of ,probably, a few adjustments and modifications. I broke my first string the other day,and Im waiting for a new set of strings to come from the states....I need spares anyway,it was nice to break my Paypal cherry on such a thing. Im taking the Bass to Gator cases in Dewsbury,to have a custom flightcase made,full ATA spec,its deserves it....it wont fit into a standard sized gigbag either (any suggestions of anyone making BIG soft cases,I would love to just sling this thing on my back. We are also waiting for the 3 bnd eq from the USA,but I saw a flying pig the other day....and Hell froze over......so.... It also picked up its first 'ding' on the kitchen sinks corner as I wandered about the house playing it,Im not crying,it adds another stamp upon it soul. Recordings? I never perform for anyone,on anything,unless I can assure myself I can play it fully,and well...so unless you use skype,Im not recording or filming this for anyone yet,as said before,about Feb/March time...maybe. If things go well for me before Xmas maybe sooner,if not,in an ARGHesque kind of way..tough. Wait like your mother had too. Tapping,yes it does,very nicely,but Its chordial tones are more to my interest. 3 octaves of purpleheart offer so much. Metaltime where did you play the 7 and who made it?...Perhaps more important still,whos was it? Edited November 25, 2007 by ARGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6stringbassist Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I just got a Bodyglove hybrid gigbag for my Modulus Q6, it's quite a big bag, and very well designed, but still quite easy to carry, probably the best bag I've actually seen. If you want, give me the dimensions of your bass and I'll measure the inside of my bag. They're an excellent price too, only about £60.
