Hello fellow TalkBassists! I‘m working on my senior year project, in which I build an 8-string (octave) bass and write about their history. I‘m almost done with the build itself (about which I‘ve already asked a few questions here) but I‘m looking for some more sources about 8-string basses...
So I use my TC Electronic Sub'N'Up Mini for an effect somewhat similar to that of playing an 8 string bass, that is a bass with pairs of respectively bass and octave strings, and I think I have succeeded at making a custom toneprint that comes about as close to a natural sounding 1 octave up...
