An eight string T-bird would be pretty badass.

Just saying. Was looking at Mapleglo's thread where she made an eight string acoustic.

Can you play something like that with your fingers?

I don't see why not.

I can play 12ers with my fingers but I prefer a pick for multis.

Cool. I didn't know if it was weird to play double strings with your fingers. And god damn that's a beautiful bass.

Unusual maybe, but certainly no reason not to.

My work is cut out for me. >

What do you all think?

Uke makes me think he needs to wear a grass skirt and coconut bra as initiation rite.

Pics or it didn't happen!

I think an ultra-short-scale deserves special initiation rites.

Very special......

After watching "Bull" this week, nope, no hazing for me.

We don't do anything to you.
You agree to your assigned initiation and we watch, with a smile.

Yes, there is that possibility.

With an 8 or 12 or 24 string bass, how do ya tune the "other" strings? Octaves, right?

8 and 12, octaves, yes. Just like on a 12 string guitar.

No idea about 24.

I think Geldof did it better. I rarely listen to that album, though. It's just so overplayed.

But it's from Waters' head... post-war Europe.

Want one.

HELL NO

Leo was cheap, or a minimalist. That's why only three neck screws on his Sting Ray. Why pay $0.10 more for stereo jacks if you didn't need them, which is what the specs said.

Enzo Ferrari refused to switch his race cars to the then newfangled disc brakes until TWO of his drivers died due to drum brake fade. Sometimes there's no accounting for production decisions.

Well according to Enzo you only paid for the engine in his road cars, so don’t complain if the body rusts away.
