@DreadnoughtMetal2006 I'm sure you went thru ebay to get this,. I haven't seen any of them up in a while. I'm interested in buying one. You wouldn't happen to know of one for sale would you?

(...Continued) the best thing to do is get some good wood, fill in the machine head holes, sand them down after they've set and drill 11 holes for proper bass tuners.
Then (as advized by Garry Goodman) Buy a Villex hi-fi pre-amp and then pickups of your choice - I've ordered a pair of Seymour Duncan ASB6-2's for a start. If the higher end is lacking, I'm going to put a Blackouts 8 string guitar pickup in it.
Not exactly following the rules but, someone's got to find these things out.

Fair point mate. I've got the Tennessee 15. Firstly, quality wise - it's a bit of a bitch but, that said, it's good for a project guitar/bass.
I've worked mine out and replaced a few things and now it handles more like a bass ought to.
It's got guitar string spacing, just like the Ibanez SR2007 bass/guitar they brought out at NAMM last year. Either way, ity's good to get one and do it your way rather than leave it as a stock instrument. Failing that (continued...)

There seems to be an arms race to make (or lie about) basses that keep on adding strings. what is this shit?? Can't you guys just turn a piano on its side, put a big ass strap on it and play that? Oh I forgot, you'll have to design an 88 string fingerboard under the strings so you can tap it.

I don't think he would even be able to tuck it in between his legs. It's probably like half an inch long at the most.

(continuing) I've looked into this too and apparently Galveston are not the least bit ashamed to show their faces. They do make some compound/extended range instruments (including a triple neck guitar, FYI) that are supposed to be extremely playable at an affordable price (<$1000). I may buy their 8-string bass soon, which apparently is much more playable that the 15 string bass (anything is, really) but keeps the range within reason. I strongly recommend looking into it.

DO NOT BUY TENNESSEE GUITARS. Read the reviews, you will see yourself. Apparently, everything that could possibly be wrong with any musical instrument is wrong with Tennessee guitars. Some guy on Harmony Central commented that it's "the biggest turd I've ever laid my hands on" and another said "the nut looks like it was slotted by an 8 yr old Chinese sweatshop employee, which it probably was". Somebody said "if you want a cheap multi stringed instrument Galveston is the way to go". (continued..)

Long Comment here...
I've heard of a mysterious guitar company called Tennessee Guitars that make extended range instruments (such as a certain triple neck guitar that I WANT!), and apparently they have built a fifteen string bass. If anyone has any information regarding it, it's quality, or the quality of any Tennessee guitars, could they please tell me?

yeah.. sorry, hes a dumb fuck, that has nothing to do with his britishness haha (I'm sick of fighting about stuff like this)

true, true...but I can safely say that all the guitars that I've made, customised & repaired over the years have worked. In my opinion, it's better to have a fully functional guitar or bass rather than something that offers the earth but doesn't deliver anything other than comedy value.

...& of course the bass is fine, it's only used to prance around in front of the mirror...like that freak in silence of the lambs, you'll be naked except for your matrix style, sunday market coat...cock between your legs & jumping around with that monstrosity, pretending to be popular.

look out, the retard is back & this time he's gonna waste even more of B&Q's finest 2x2 with a 14 string version...at least he'll be warm this winter, huddled round the burning remains outside the homeless shelter with the rest of life's rejects.
