A serious musician would hear a recording of that instrument and wonder why it sounds so flaccid and thin.
Simply put, going up a bass fingerboard is a totally different SOUND than going across an “extended” fingerboard. Can you imagine “Rain” on a six string bass? YUK! Playing ANY Bach on an extended range instrument is a valuable exercise, but it is not bass playing. Practice the Prelude on a four string bass (without a capo), and then post it with the title “bass guitar”.

Haha I don't mean to be blunt but I have no idea what you're talking about and it really doesn't make sense to me, as your logic is pretty mindless. It's definitely a bass guitar...7-string...it's simply an ERB.
