@GarethGras I dont no what that is. Everything I did in this video is from the top of my head. All this is me jamming and the way I warm up. I thought I would break out the video camera that day and put some of my idea's down. I have never heard of band you speak of.
I can tell I'd love it. Im dam tempeted to sell off my Jackson Ltd 4 string and my Ibanez 5 string just so I can have one NOW. Ive seen in other 12 string vids that you use two amps a bass amp and guitar amp.. Is that really nescessary. How will it sound just being ran through my Hartke? Im searching for a mean bluesy metal sound
@william4art Thank you so much.It sounds good just about any way you play it. Even if you back up some part of of song when there is a guitar solo and it can fill it up and put the part of 6 string guitar in a song. Cheap Trick have 12 string bass guitar in every song they do. I am sold on this bass and plan on getting a 2th12 string bass guitar soon. It is hard on the fingers. But, it sound's very good with it's 8guitar string's and 4bass guitar string's.Get one you will love it.
@william4art The sound I get from ampeg svt3 and four 10's and one18 inch woofer's also electro harmonix tube compresser & that's 5 tube's in preamp & 2 in compresser.You can try other thing's like efx or sound out of guitar amp's as well. I will try guitar amp next. But, I do like straight tube bass amp sound it will be always be a big part of what I do. Also you can find cheap 12 on ebay some people buy them & there hard to play so they sell them. Have neck set up or do it yourself.
@neil12string Thanks for the info! Ive looked on Ebay. their only seems to be one on the every once in a while. Saw a nice Hammer? on there.. Is that the company that started making them first?
@krazyzark Hello zark. you can dtune one or some of the guitar strings.I dont no about the bass strings.I have dtuned before but can get sloppy. 440 a I use a tuner. have dtuned 4th string before and that sounds cool. I only ever dtune 4th string. I dont no If I did in video. I think that might help you. Finger pain is part of playing 12 string bass guitar.lol I love playing it .It is pretty or heavy when you want that. You can slap it, you can do hammer's on it. You can do most things on it.
@IJormungandI Thank you so much!!! I hope more people find out about 12 string bass guitar. I think it is a great and amazing instrument to hear or play
@daniel55645 Yes it is a dean Rhapsody 12 string bass. I don't no if they make them still. There might be one on Ebay I don't no. Dean is makes a 10 string that is very cool. Call dean they might help you and they are very nice. I called them and talked to mr.gillespy and found them to be helpful
Yes you have to hold down all 3 string's at once with one finger. Thank you so much for the comment. I only have been playing the 12 string bass guitar 3 year's and it is so much fun. I have played guitar and bass most of my life. But 12 string bass is not such a hard mountain to climb
@LifelessGamer Get yourself two 8-string Rotosound sets (Rotosounds, IMO, are the absolute most amazing bass strings) and use the leftover 4 root strings on whatever 4-string bass(es) you have. I, too, am a Dean Rhapsody 12-string bass owner, and I love it! I think Dean's discontinued these, but you can find them on Ebay all the time.
the string bend is what got me. sounds awesome!

Good work! The string bending is impressive, that must be hard on the fingers!

Great playing! String bends were especially impressive, that must be tough on the fingers.
