Extended Range Bass (Club??) Thread

[voodoobassist]

Back in the club! I traded off my Conklin 7 earlier this year, just too dang heavy for an old geezer like myself. I have since acquired this gorgeous Stambaugh fretless 6! Now if the incision from my recent open heart sugery will just hurry and heal, I'll actually be able to pick it up and play it!!!!
Here she is,..Christine!

Welcome back, voodoo . Your previous # stays in place

Beautiful bass! What are the controls on it, looks like 2 switches? Heal up and start playing ....

bump. Come on guys, I know there more ERB's out there.

 

[Freddy]

Sign me up! Here's some of my babies: a 9 string Chris Larkin, a 6 string singlecut Chris Larkin and an 8 string Basslab, hope you like it!

Freddy;
Now that's the way to make an entrance!
Those are some impressive beasts!
Do my eyes decieve me, or is that Basslab two sets of EADG, fretted and fretless!?


I have another ERB on the way- A Lecompte "Special Project" 7
Kind of married ergonomic elements of my beloved Pedulla MVP with the vibe of the Lecompte P4T for the body:

RLK; thanks, and yes the Basslab has two identical EADG sets.
That Lecompte you're getting is going to be very nice, reminds me a bit of my first 6 string which was a Pedulla series 2. I loved that bass!

Hmm, 1 year anniversary of this thread, and I just got back into the club. Coincidence, or fate?

Just pulled the trigger on the used Conklin GT-7 that was at Bass Emporium. I used to own one just like it when I was in college, but sold it off because I wasn't really ready for an ERB. Now that I've gotten the hang of a 6-string for one of my bands, it's time to add that high F for even more melodic goodness.

If you're handing out numbers, I'd like one please.

Wow, it is a year, isn't it? Wonder how many of the 89 here still play ERB's?

 

[Floyd Eye]

My LB76.

Does this count?

Definitely still playing my 6ers. More so now than this time last year, probably, what with a heavy rotation of practice and recording.

Chris Larkin has an excellent reputation. Little wonder why with those basses.

Thanks.

I'm still waiting for a response in the Carvin club and American Peavey club and I can't even find the Rickenbacker club thread. lol

So how many of you run a low F#? My Conklin GT-7 came in yesterday and I got to noodle around with it last night. I don't think I appreciated before just how incredible the B string is. It's so tight and punchy that I'm wondering if it could handle an F# decently well. Any opinions? If you have an F#, does it actually get use?
