MY NEW 9 STRING BASS TODAY!!!!!!!! (Bee Basses Content)

[D Bopp]

If you don't mind me asking, how much does a monster like this cost? It's gotta be in the 4-6K ballpark

Cheeto,
Congrats on the new bass.

Can you give me some of your background, what kind of music do you play, etc? I'm curious about the application of a nine string bass.

 

[BIG CHEETO]

Yessir, If you place an order for one of these right now with all my options, it will be a lil' over 6K, plus shipping.

Hello jmac, I'm currently sticking with Flamenco, and Classical Instrumental work. Believe it or not, Years ago when I had placed the initial order for this bass, I was gigging with my DeathMetal band, Link Removed, and had planned to use it on my European tour. I didnt know the bass was going to take years to build....

Well, times have changed. I've left the deathmental behind to go back to my classical and flamenco roots.

Theres a link at the bottom of my signature with a sample of my current ERB work on a conklin 7 string bass.

Thanks for asking.

Dave

I'm currently parked outside your house, waiting for the UPS guy to come. What does your signature look like, again?

Thanks! I have it tuned in standard 4ths tuning across the board. B E A D G C F Bb Eb.

wow cool... a little surprised that you did go with a low F# or C#, cool nonetheless, congrats.

How do you reach the B string?

Crazy cool bass that is...


(One more string and you could have had a guitar and a bass all in one neck)

Thank you sir. Reaching the B is quite easy, so long as you dont glue your left thumb to the back of the neck.

[TolerancEJ]

nice, man, congrats - about time, eh?

and let me remind everyone that, as per forum rules , slagging ERB's is inappropriate here at talkbass. these "jokes" are not funny, they're not new, and they're not welcome. (those posts responsible have been removed).

Long live ERB's
