NBD!!! My new 11 string bass

No disrespect my friend... that thing is truly beautiful. I couldn't even imagine where to begin in terms of playing it. Completely different level that's for sure. It would be cool to see a player tearin it up one of those.Yup. I got you haha
Well I could've had that option, but I opted for the slingshot system they have on the big aircraft carriers
I was looking for some lichen on the fretboard : )
I understand. Thanks im glad you like it! You'd be surprised, its not as hard as you think! A lot of people at namm would just rip on it and they just play standard basses. All it is, is knowing where you're at, and since its all in 4ths you have your standard EADG so you just work from there
Curtis, I did the classic YouTube search, looking for a similar account within. And man, you got some skills, would love to see a follow up. That piano is pretty cool too!
Thanks for checking out some of my stuff! Im glad you liked it. The piano isn't mine and isnt played much. It has had a few problems with keys not working, so its more of a shelf for holding things haha
I have NO idea!!! Its crazy!!!
Haha!!!The coffee table bass you can ACTUALLY use as a coffee table!
Seriously, that's beautiful. Congrats!

Awesome. If I did something like that it I would probably tune it BEAD suboctave plus BEAD normal.
Yves Carbonne does something like that - regular tuning plus sub.

Yeah Yves has some pretty cool stuff and he's a really cool guy. I played a couple basses in a similar type of tuning and I wasn't huge on it. But its a good idea!!! I think his 12 is tuned B00-Gb4.
I did the YouTube search as well...
Very impressive Curtis!! Congrats on the new bass!! Looking forward to some more vids with the 11 string

When you get a chance, could you tell us all about the specs? what type of woods, is the fret board one solid piece? is the body chambered? the electronics, fret size, what type of carve is the neck-compound etc?

I'm curious what would be the cost of one set of strings for this beauty.
Wow. I can't imagine playing all 11 strings without getting lost. I play guitar and 7 string guitars seem too daunting for me.
You got it
. Top and back are Ziricote, Body Core is Mahogany, Neck is 7 piece Padauk and Maple, SUPER THIN profile (only 1/2" thick). Fretboard is one piece of Macassar Ebony. The scale is 35"-32", ETS Saddles (I believe) Hipshot Ultralite tuners, Nordstrand Dual Coils with custom ziricote w/ sapgrain and padauk covers. Preamp is a Noll 4 band, and it has Luminlay fret markers.
Thanks man! Thanks for checking out my stuff!I did the YouTube search as well...

I'ma go back to playing my custom 2 string now.
