I use the high E, it's not the same thing. Who really uses higher notes on basses? (Obviously joking)

I was just saying it because, at times, it really seems like we ask a little too much of Kurt and we're kinda pushy and I'm sure that a 7 String bass might be a little out of the way for Rondo.

I have no problem with more strings, but I feel that we might be may be pushing Kurt. (Kurt, feel free to prove me wrong)

It would be neat, but give the man some time! Just look for a used Conklin GT-7 on the 'Bay.

kurt need to see this thread and think about it.
if 8 string guitar was possible and now its just a matter of time that he will start getting orders for more of them same thing will happen with 7 string basses its great opportunity cause there aren't so many companies building 7 string basses out there and not to mention and great prices.....

Only problem is that they cost 4 times more then an agile bass would do

New, yeah, but used I've seen 'em go for about $500-$600, which is a great price for a 7-string bass as good as that one is supposed to be.

Who needs 7 strings when 4 is enough

Warwick DarkLord FTW!!
Personally a 35/36" scale 6 strings tuned to low F/E would be perfect, heck even a 4 string would be OK I guess

I love Darklords. I hate playing bass, but damn, they're sexy.

Best to tread carefully here - there is a cheap ERB already that isn't thought well of. Galveston has been doing them for several years.

Doing one of these is a challenge to be sure - the neck would be required to support 280 lbs or so...

Your Brice can do it now - unless you aren't willing to ditch your high string to get it.
