8 and/or 12 string basses

[LowNloud1]

Can anyone please point me to a song that uses an 8 and/or a 12 string bass guitar? I want to listen to what the bass sounds like. Thx.

Cool. Thx. I should have known that Jeremy was. Tried one out (8) the other day but I couldn't think of a tune that used it at the time.

Used in lots of Cheap Trick tunes, Tom Petersson did invent the 12er, after all.

Led Zeppelin, "Achilles' Last Stand".

Ooh yeah, probably my favorite relatively unappreciated Zep tune. I figured it was a guitar and bass double tracked, should've known.

KingsX - Complain. Also, I shared a rehearsal room with KingsX and Galactic Cowboys in Houston in the early 90's. Both Doug Pinnick and Monty Colvin played Hamer 12 strings and 8 strings.

If you listen to the whole Dogman album from KingsX you will hear nothing but 12 string and any Galactic Cowboys album will have 8 and 12.

Tom Peterson from Cheap Trick also played(s) 12 string.

Blown away every time I listen to it. An old stoner pal said he'd read the initial arpeggio was murmured to be capable of summoning the Devil...

I can't believe I never tried one earlier. I must have been living under a rock! It's an awesome sound. Always thought the bassists were using Octaver pedals. GASsin' now!

Search for the song Milk (Ode to Billy). Great 8-string intro.
