8 String basses (4 Octave sets).

Does anyone play one of these? I have a Warwick and a Hagstrom (retro look version) which I use from time to time in the Church Music Group I play in. I just wondered who else liked the format.

I also have a Tune fretted 8, a Rickenbacker 4003s/8, and a fretless Brice 8 string.

I've had the opportunity to play a Hamer 12 string, which I thought sounded amazing, though it took a fair bit of concentration to fret the 3 strings well, which would probably resolve with time.

I'd certainly be interested in owning an 8 or a 12, but the limiting factor would be that the overall use would be quite low compared to a single course bass.

Twelve String Club - 12 String Octave - Post em'
The Multi-Course Bass Club

I own a Dean Rhapsody 8 and a 12.

Love 'em. I play the 8 more than the 12.

So you have two 8-strings? That's cool! I had two for a while but ultimately couldn't justify it - I have owned three total over the past 20+ years. Would love to see pics of your Warwick!

I was psyched to see Steve Moore play a new Hagstrom with Zombi in 2022.

I also have an 8 string fretless.

I'd like to, but it's something that I wold wanna invest in blind. I'd build one but IME 8bridges are a tough find in the what I'd wanna pay range...

I'm on my third 8-string bass; currently own this Schecter:

I've been playing 8-bangers since 1989. It's definitely an important part of my sonic palette.

I have an ESP Ltd Series 8-Banger. I've actually been using it a lot lately.
