I didn't post this in FS because I'm not selling it - I saw this in alt.guitar.bass and was just amazed - the guy's selling a <b>fifteen</b> string Warrior. You can see it here. It looks like a hell of an instrument and the guy's story on why he's selling it is a little sad but the bass itself is an amazing piece of work. cheers, allan
Not to mention how tedious (impossible?) it will be to adjust the intonation! If I had a tech to do those things, I wouldn't mind. A fine instrument.
hi ya man, that is so sad. seriously, to be able to play something like that and to spend that much money on something shows you have a real passion and a real tallent. to have it all taken away from you like that is cruel. lukas
Actually.. you think THATS thick? Thats only the "12" string version of the Warr Phalanx. They also make 14 strings... I woudln't want to even touch the 15 string because talk about "UNBALANCED" bass. It will just shoot right down
Man, that bass is a real beauty. Too bad about the guy's hand. Like Angus having to sell his Tune after injuring his hand.
the back of that bass looks like it's been riddled with bulletholes with all the string ferrules Allen Woody had an eighteen string Modulus (six string tripled) (apparently made for Tom Peterson). I can't find a pic of it- I remember it being in a GHS ad in BP a few years ago.
Damn, I fell sorry for the guy...I sure do know the feeling! I would love to see the Modulus 18, though, and the Modulus custom 7 and 10s I've heard about...
It's just like a 12-string bass, only with an extra string and 2 octaves. Like Angus said, Modulus did make an 18-string (6 string bass with 2 octaves per string) to demonstrate the strength of their graphite necks.
Penis extention eh... It'd be a hell of a job extending a penis to that... Especially adjusting it's intonation.
15 strings? The mind boggles as to what sound you'd get out of that thing - or how you'd play it properly.
Hmm, a 5 or more string tripled... It'd sound awesome! I'd go for a graphite or composite neck on it too though, the tensions would be enormous. Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to get a piezo or lightwave for an octave stringed instrument... The Mock Turtle Regulator: Ack! the back of that thing looks horrible with the wierd arrangement of the ferrules and the wierd control plate... Why does the control cavity extend into the through neck? Well, I guess it's not that bad, just that I'm a wierd little neat freak and I like things to be symmetrical...
A friend gave me this website and I did not even realize I became a thread. the warrior is an amazing bass. I buy my strings from "juststrings.com" using GHS singles. The Highlander is a piezo in the wood bridge. Hello Mr. Fortune Cookie... It balances very well and is less than 10 lbs. I actually opened the case the other day to look at it. I just bought a very cool 4 string fender Jazz with a Musicman HB in the bridge position. Should have it later this week. By mid summer next year I hope to work up to my stingray 5 again. Anyway thanks for all the chatter. chris
