am i mistaken... is a 7 string piccolo bass the same thing as a seven string.... guitar...

please tell me i'm wrong. this is tooo beautiful to be qualified as a guitar... with an extremely long scale.

 

[Oxblood]

That is just simply amazing. Im loving that top too, its just beautiful.

The scale on 7 string guitars is usually between 24.75" and about 28" so this piccolo will be longer at 30", plus the strings will be thicker and the spacing wider. So not too much like a 7 string guitar...

Very sexy, BTW!

a very awesome bass that is looking like!

 

[Dave Grossman]

It's done and on its way! Should be here on Thursday.

WOW!

I hope you enjoy it and use it in good health. I pray that someday I may play well enough to justify having such an instrument.

Peace,
S

 

[j-raj]

Wow! Very Nice Dave!!!

 

[MrWalker]

Seems like a totally awesome instrument!!! Congratulations!!

I guess it would be much the same as a Music Man Silhouette, right? But way cooler, of course. I'd consider the Silhouette a tenor guitar, and this a piccolo bass.

Congratulations again!

OMG...That is NICE! I think that's the coolest buckeye burl I've ever seen.

Looking forward to seeing it in person at a gig of yours.

Marshall, on May 17th, let's STEAL IT. NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!! SHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Lastly, David, that's a different Hanny headstock right?

 

[smperry]

A generic bass like that should be cake.

TB GTG 5/17!!!

Sorry guys, I won't be using that one at that gig. I'm using my main normal 7-string.

The headstock is a bit smaller and stubbier since the body has been scaled down.

Thanks for your comments everybody. I'll pass the compliments on to Pete.

[D.A.R.K.]

congrats, that is really amazing looking...
i bet the tonal charachter is really nice,
i've always been partial to piccolo...i got to see miles with an amazing
pic player back in the day...i believe his name is foley?
anyway, i'll take that over a guitar tone any day!
enjoy!

 

[BassManPatsFan]

Wow, that's such a pretty bass! Congratulations! Dave, is it weird getting used to playing such thin strings with your fingers? I imagine that it could hurt at times.

[superbassman2000]

wow!

 

[geshel]

hubba hubba!

 

[phreddy]

would you play that through a guitar amp?

 

[Dave Grossman]

would you play that through a guitar amp?

Not if my life depended on it.

Here's my current setup:

Bass ->
Eden WT-800 (FX Out) ->
TC Electronic G System ->
(FX In) Eden WT-800 ->
2 x Eden CXM-110

In a few weeks, there will be a Looperlative looper in there after the G System.

That's my home/solo setup. My band/studio setup is similar:

Eden Navigator Pre (FX Out) ->
TC Electronic G Major ->
2 x Echoplex Digital Pro ->
(FX In) Eden Navigator Pre ->
Stewart 1.2 Power Amp ->
2 x Eden 210XLT
