Extended Range Bass Club Thread (Part 2)

[j-raj]

That's cool, I just thought maybe you played like it was a regular 4 string bass, but then use a slide for some of that Mark Sandman 5th intervallic slide bass stuff.

I was thinking about doing E-F, especially for learning and transcribing horn parts. I just need a low B.

Time for a 7 ....

Time for a 7 ....

yeah, I have been talking to Brian at the Low End about a 34inch scale 19mm spaced 24 fret 7 with Maple board and ash body... Maybe a green to dark purple burst...

To anyone in the club: What is your tuning and favorite style to play on the extended range bass?

 

[JAUQO III-X]

I tune my 8 strings, B E A D G C F Bb. And I have no favorite style that I use on it. Pretty much every style that I use on my none ERB's I utilize on my 8's.

I have the low F#-F on my 8-string. Truthfully, I don't use the low F# as much as I should (mostly only for the occasional Bb or A), but I think with some new pickups that have increased low-end response, I will use it much more often.

Style wise, I play it with everything. Played it out a few times with the old hard rock/metal band; I've played it in jazz.

Hi guys, been lookin' for a club with extended range basses, particularily 6 stringers.
So here's my beloved Yamaha TRB6II from '98. Got it for 765USD which is insanely cheap for that kind of bass here in Denmark. A great bargain, that gave me the best bass i have ever owned so far:

I tune B-F, straight 4ths .... I only use fretless 6's & 7's now, regardless of music style

Ive got an Ibanez GSR206 ... might not be up to par with some of the beauties in this thread but its got an upgraded preamp and sounds really good! Here she is ... number?

[bstringkyle]

Hey guys, I already have a number, I had a 6 string a while back but sold it. I have been Regretting it ever since, so yesterday I worked a trade for this SR506! It plays like a dream and is lightweight, I have a feeling it might become my number one player

 

[project43]

I'll take a number, please. Here is my only bass; a Carvin LB76 fretless, purchased new in 1999. I'll update with better pics later. Thanks, Frank

Sorry for the delayed post, I'm in the middle of moving into a new home so things have been a bit confusing lately. Another week or so and it'll be back to quasi-normal

My new Zon Vinny VB-6.

Swamp ash, no top, natural matte finish. Unlined phenowood board, composite neck.

Series-single-parallel switch for each radiused Bartolini pickup, a 3 band EQ with push-pull mid-freq selector (250/800Hz). The new hipshot headless mounting system in black completes the bass.

I'm already member #026.

My recently ERB acquired Hanewinckel 6. It is really sweet and she can get nasty too.

Very nice! How do you like that new Hipshot hardware?
