NBD!!! My new 11 string bass

Blows my mind. I wouldn't even know where to begin. Nice looking instrument though.
Do you tune it like a standard 5 string bass plus a guitar on top?
Its in all 4ths like a normal bass C#,F#,B,E,A,D,G,C,F,Bb,Eb. So 3 lower strings and 4 higher
I suspect it exceeds both the range of my fingers and my ears.
Looks nice, if a little intimidating.
Congrats!
Hope you enjoy it, for me it is at least 6 strings too many and I'm from Québec where Le Cirque du Soleil was born... But it looks very nice.
I assume that with anything more than say about 6 strings, it's primarily for tap style playing? Otherwise I wouldn't have a clue.
It Is THAT!!!
DigitalMan calls it "a little intimidating"!

I think it would be fun to try.
Unfortunate builder's make, if I read it correctly from the headstock.

Where's the little elevator that takes the airplanes down to the storage hangar?
It might take me a couple of days to master it.
48.3 lbs?
Haha yeah I get that a lot, but it plays super easy. Many people got to play it and they're always surprised that it (even though its gigantic) you can still play it like a normal bass
Maybe a little bit haha. No its all bark and no bite.It Is THAT!!!

Thanks man! Its about 13-15lbs
Well I could've had that option, but I opted for the slingshot system they have on the big aircraft carriers
