SLAPPA DA BASS MAN!

[69erthx1138]

Man that's the first time I've ever heard he F string get popped on a 7-string bass. You don't seem to be bothered by the number of strings when playing this style. Nice!

[69erthx1138]

Starting off the 5th fret on B and going through the E scale? 3 octaves range in a single position, killer!

[69erthx1138]

Yea duh, it's funk, but can a real super pro tell me what key he's moving in? I'm a seasoned 4-string player that messes around with 6-strings from time to time.

[killcab]

does it neck dive?...even a slightest bit?

[mackiewiczmmarcin]

beautiful tone

[topperspoppers]

well im impressed... how much would a bass like this cost?

[MaestroUJ]

Hey man, that was way too short! I've been had! More! More! More!

[bemolable]

1300 $

This Bassn is signature The Bill ´Budha´Dickens Conklin Bass!!

[misanthroposy]

This isn't Bill Dickinson's custom. This is like their generic version of a seven string. His is much bigger and has wide spacing for fretboard. caus ehe has huge hands.

[lefou1970]

i have a question for you...i'm looking to get one of those, are you saying that the string spacing is different on the GT7 and the GTBD7?

THX

[misanthroposy]

@lefou1970 Last time i checked the Bill Dickens model had slightly larger string spacing. Since I last posted the last comment I heard it was the opposite and that the Bill Dickinson model actually has smaller string spacing. I looked on the conklin website and musicisnfriend and I can't find anything about string spacing. So I'm not sure sorry.

[nephilymbass1]

@lefou1970 the string spacing on the bill dickens is smaller more like a jazz bass. where the GT is more like a p-bass.

[Spanishbass]

nope its not. this is the conklen Groove Tools 7 string. i have this bass exept in natural finish

[misanthroposy]

@MrBassuper Well considering Bill Diskinson's model has six knobs for better tone control, his signature on the pickups and is a neckthrough and you can see where the wings are connected to the neck. No This isn't Bill Dickinson's signature. This is the Conklin Groove Tools Seven string bass or the Conklin GT-7

[bassmanfilice]

its actually just the regular GT7

[ElKarka2008]

Alain Caron Style!

[oliparkengooglmail]

Hi there, great playing and great sound. Can I ask what EQ setting are you using on the HD350 there?

[thegreat37]

YES!

[ExploBass]

Ehi Will...YoU RoCk!!!!!!!!!

[HM2028]

That is a monster! Im gettin one.

[samkeen]

I currently have a beautiful and rare Curbow 'M' 7 string bass for sale, anyone interested please contact me

[DarkNowInDachau]

That's what I love about my GT 7 - the immaculate tone.

[OmgWhatsUpWithThat]

extremely clean slapping.

[asiat30]

Beautiful man!!!!

[BassPlayer121692]

nice playing, Is it worth it to get a 7-String, I love that thought of the xtra range and capabilities, but tons of ppl tell me I don't need it, and should get something else!

[fingerboy18]

I think I'll stick with a 6 string. I respect all instruments though.

[SodaZombie]

If you think that it's worth it, then it is. Do you NEED seven? I'll be picking up this bass eventually hopefully, and I wanted to find some demos. Don't listen to the whole "Jaco only needed four" or "look at Victor Wooten!" hype. They're great bassists, but an extended ranged bass is almost a beast of it's own. Still a bass, but also a new monster.

[Mortycakes]

sweet ebs!

[eventhoriz0n]

That is a PERFECT tone! Just absolutely incredible.

What EBS rig do you use?

[jeffowen2]

sympa la caron technique , super son

jeff

[Loganator456]

I LOVE THAT TONE!!!!!!!!!!

[LLroomtempJ]

excellent playing man! I've got a lot of learning to do in terms of my slap and especially in my tone.

What kind of strings are you using? I never get a sound that bright out of my bass.

[funkrock94]
