WOW!! 7 string Ibanez BTB for Franck Hermanny!

This is so freaking awesome! Franck Hermanny, the bass player of Adagio, received his 7 string BTB yesterday

He didn't plan on getting another 7 string bass (his other 7 stringer is a Conklin Groovetool GT7), but he got one since Ibanez asked if he would help them to promote this bass guitar. He will be making some videos soon, doing some tapping and bass sweeping, but here are some pictures first!

Well, he is from New Zealand, but I think it's a coincidence.

I remember the 6 string BTB's being huge, awkward and heavy. I don't even want to know how heavy the 7 string is.

The one I tried out (BTB 6er) felt comfy enough to me.

I am a 6 foot skinny weirdo though, so that probably made it feel so weird to me.

That's what Roy said, so I don't understand your post...
