@mangosnake. I agree. Looks like plenty of space on he fretboard. It actually looks pretty good too. I personally don't care for the appearance of the semi-hollowbody basses, but this one looks really good.
Wow ! Now this really makes me want to buy a 12 Strings Bass.
I tried one once (I think it was a Hagstrom but I'm not sure) and it was a stupid bass.
I mean the strings were all stuck together, you couldn't even play the A's without Hitting the E's or the D's. This one looks like it has a lot of space to play on.
Those look like fun, Im left handed so I would have to have one special made for a little less than double the price. I always thought that 8 string basses sounded like crap, not very musical. 12 strings Have a really cool and unique sound to them. Always wanted one !
@BassPedal2009 agreed. while the 12 string slap is a.. unique sound, I don't think it's a particularly good one. the 12 string bass makes so many more beautiful sounds than that.
@FlyingHeadbutt100 King's X's bass tone is one of the most wicked ever, and has got me chasing down a good 12 string. Vic Danger is cool, but Dug Pinnick would be a better 12 string pitch man.
im not sure if i cant see all of the strings i know its a 12 but are there 3 pairs of strings together instead of 2 together like on a 12 guitar cause i cant see the other ones?
ive got a 12 string bass ,it will hurt to play after a while good luck trying to play like vic , your guitar players will just turn up more or leave the band
i know this is a little bit overused but... dear santa,
i know Christmas is a long time away,
but you need to know ahead of time,
i want you to make a 12 string bass,
for me to annoy my parents with :D.

I would expect this thing to be heard a lot better in recordings/live.
That is, if the bassist can play it well.

i love theses basses but i don't like the slapping because there soo much noise from hitting all of those strings
BassPedal2009 2 years ago
umm....the noise from hitting the stings is point of slapping, without the noise from slapping you have finger picking.

I really like the way he plays rapid and funky but he also plays slow and melodic in order to let that big sound ring out.
