15 string Bass Question

[JAUQO III-X]

I'm referring to the tripled 5 string kind.

Just wondering if any tb members own one.

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Pfft, only a nutjob would own a bass like that

Yeah, why would you need that many strings on a bass? Why don't you just get a guitar?

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Any idea how many have even been made? I think I've only seen two before- one being your Warrior.

I thought Fieldy owned one.

Only my chiropractor knows for sure...

I think Warrior made maybe a total of 5 or 6. There's a luthier in Russia(the company is called Shamray)that has made two that I know about.

I thought Fieldy owned one.

Ibanez made one for Fieldy. I remember Fieldy's reaction when he saw a Warrior 15 he was blown away. And almost 10 years later Ibanez makes one for him and claimed that it was the first one ever made.

I would love to play one of those ... Like a 12 string with a low B ... I owned a 10 string octave bass for a while ... very cool.

Holy Tuners.

I think it would be cool to get a 12 and tune it DGCF.

Here's one made for me in 97(this was the worlds first 15 string bass guitar).

 

[spade2you]

Still have it?

 

[JAUQO III-X]

Still have it?

No I do not but a luthier is building me a new one.

Gotcha. I'm hoping to get a 12 string in a year or two if funds allow.

 

[Ric5]

I kinda regret selling this one here ...

You can make a lot of interesting music with it.
