Eight String Club - 8 string Octave - Post 'em

[WarriorJoe7]

I couldn't find a club for this so I decided to make one. I'll post my brice later.

People should be able to find this by typing in "Eight String" or "8 String"

Here's my Ace Pro 8-string bass. It was a cheapy off Ebay. It has a through-neck and slightly noisy active electronics. Sounds good though, and it's fun to play. Also my mandolin is there too..that has 8 strings!

I have a Brice HXB-408? (I think)

Anyways I need to revive this thread since the 12er thread is getting some love!

So you like the Ace I was thinking about one of those. Not too much to invest to see if I will like an 8 string

I just got a Waterstone Ozone 8-string. But I'll have to wait until the wife gets back from her weekend trip to get the camera back!

I like it. Passive pickups, neck-through, brass nut. I back off the bridge pickup a little bit and tune the E down to D. It's pretty comfortable to play.

Here's mine:

Carlo Robelli in silver sparkle finish (did they come in any other?)

I also have a Washburn B-20 *-string in bits getting a revamp and refinish and right now I'm GASing for a Tune with or without a trem system!

I've had the 12 string Galveston for about a year or more now. I couldnt handle all 12 strings so I decided to convert the bass to 8 strings. I had to cut off a bit of the fretboard (frets 25-27) because awhile back it took a nasty fall onto a concrete floor and that area got messed up. I'm waiting on an order of strings then I'm gonna get it set up.

I've got one of these too, though I know it's in the wrong forum...

Ok then - 8 year necro thread! I cound not find another 8-string club thread, so bringing this one back to life, see what happens. Didnt look like numbers were given out, but we could start now?

If there is a club, please let me know.

8-Stringers out there, join up!

Here is my Hagstrom (Sino-Swedish version) HB-8

 

[Gully Foyle]

bumping this up - any other 8-string folks out there?

 

[Bob_Ross]

The "bastard stepchild thread" mentioned above seems to have a lot more activity than this one.

Yes.

Here's me with my band, Pearl Jamm, playing 'Jeremy' on my Spector Legend 8-string. You can really hear it on the outro.

Sweet Mystery of Life, now that I have found you...YES! 8-Stringers Unite! I owned, new, a Hagstrom 8-string in 1968. The world turned away. Today I re-discovered myself on a Schecter Studio 8, and I am complete. Guitarist, be very, very afraid. Your Aural Real Estate is soon to be MINE!
