AlanRatcliffe

With difficulty ?

How is it played?

Same way I take my coffee and about as pointless: I add four sugars but stir only the top one because I don't like my coffee too sweet. Guess you'll only play the top one or two guitars. ?

Shorten the strap. You don't HAVE to do it the way that Slash does.

i recall you said to buy one of these, but the question is which one?!!haha

Keira-WitherKay

buying it is cool

playing it is cool

but F*&k imagine it must take half a day to change the strings....... not cool .........

if you own one of these lets hope you have a roadie hehheeh

Why have a 4 string and a 5 string bass? One should be fretless.
And they didnt need the second 6 string with Floyd rose as the 7 string would cover that.

Keira-WitherKay

heheh donavon maybe the 4 string bass is tuned up like a picolo bass for solo's and chords...... which would make it essentially a 9 string bass...cool.......... just a thought

For the guitarist with a bad case of ADD...

Seems a bit gimmicky to me.

Haha.. now why even have 2 six strings and a 7 string? They shoulda just made it one 6 string with a floyd rose, one 5 string bass and the 12 string. That would at least be possibly playable.. still be dang heavy though. Ud get massive traps from this guy!

imagine that.. a 9 string bass. What notes would the strings be?

prob low B E A D G (on the 5 string same as normal 5 string ) then continuing up in pitch a B E A D (on the 4 string ) which will allow for great upper register playing and using the EAD on the top will make great triad chords and play those top strings (4 string bass) through some overdrive and effects and you'll have an awesome soloists bass... anyway thats how i would string a 9 string bass....... or a double neck 5 and 4 string

No no, they should just have one 5 string bass that has a button that raises and lowers the frets... how awesome would that be? Nobody steal my idea ?

WantzChas

I would like to see MAB rip that thing up.

DonovanB

I meant one bass, one neck and 9 strings ??? That would be crazy..

But its too hot in durban to think about that...

Keira-WitherKay

hey donavon they aready doing the 9 string bass's .... as a said a soloists instrument........but heres a duet with a 10 string and an 11 string bass love it
