| Guy, that's a complete waste of time. I do think a 9-string makes sense, though. It is a bass that has the 8-string E---B with the octaves but there is also a low B. There is no need for an octave B. I'd buy one, but I won't buy those basses with so many strings that a light aircraft can land on the fretboard :shock: |

Hi 1BL
I guess this kind of guitar offers more possibilities.But i'm always wondering how people (how women!!...take a look at the link) can play with so large necks....
I never tried...maybe i would like. :wink:

I know of the French bass player, Yves Carbonne. He plays basses made for him by Noguera; including an 8-string. You can see it here:

and hear him playing it here:

From reading Yves' latest info on leftybass.com, he's now got a 10-string bass :shock: |

| Crikey, Guy. From a low-low F# or G to human-hair B? That just seems barking to me (and not really a bass anymore). 13-bolt neck; there's just so much to look at. Bonkers, but impressive. |

Man, if I win the lottery I may well be calling 'Jerzy Drozd'...but not for one of those, it's hideous, but that workmanship in a solid body BEAD 4-string or possibly an F# 5-string, hmm...
In any case, thanks for (once again) broadening our minds a bit, cool.
Tim. |

How are you doing my friends?
I was sure about one thing : that kind of bass has to be played like a stick.
Check out this video , 1bl and Tim....I know that you could do that!!

| Thanks for the Jean Baudin link - now I can hum along when my sprog is on his Nintendo DS playing Mario. I don't have an 11-string myself so I have to make do with playing the lead with my hands and the bass on the 5-string using my toes. I'd post up a vidclip but I have such terrible looking feet. I'm sure you'll understand :lol: |
